I don't want to join this group as I don't own this radio.
So I didn't read any of the mods


As I thought.

My FYI was a general info to be careful of mods having to do with
sensitivity.


OK and I concur with your general comment.

Perhaps there are none for this radio as you pointed out.


That's about it - I've indexed over 90 and none of them are aimed at
increasing sensitivity. Several address overload mitigation.

I would feel much more comfortable if a modder would measure and present
all the receiver specs after the mod, one seldom sees that


Agreed. But not everyone is equipped to make these measurements. Many mods
are intuitively obvious and the subjective improvement is apparent even
though the absolute performance improvement is unmeasured.

So be careful, the mod you make - may or may not have been thoroughly
thought out and properly implemented


That's true. I have challenged mods, not included some in the Index or
qualified them with the potential side effects.

I double checked my statements with a friend who has designed receivers of
all types for many years and he concurs.


So do I.

So be aware of what you are doing to the entire receiver specifications
when you make mod.


Agreed

Case closed


Thanks
