Something (thats what the prompt said). Now that this is out of the way... The Phase I Timmy Mods (WA1HLR) were implemented on the Beast (Valiant 1) recently. I heard on air recordings of the mostly stock transmitter and was told by friends that it sounds good for a Valiant. Okay....Anyway, based on how I sounded and the fact that the recalcitrant transmitter was already out of its case for other repairs, I proceeded with the audio work. On air reports have been extremely favorable. For the purists, all mods and other repairs are documented so the next sucker who owns this transmitter will know what work was performed. However, for all its warts, the transmitter works well when it decides to work. I am awaiting delivery of new switch wafers. The band switch wafer is the one that is giving me the most trouble. I stopped using cabinet screws long ago. To do otherwise would spit in the eyes of the foul demons that inhabit this exciter. Surprisingly, the Herald M24A microphone has been garnishing superior audio reports compared to the unamplified D104. This may not be significant since getting a good condition crystal is at best a crap shoot. The plate leads for the mudulators were swapped to insure proper phasing of my very unsymmetrical voice. Anyway, were plugging away here and having fun in the process. FLIPPIT
