Subject: Elimination of possible faint pulse noise from
speaker when radio is in power save mode
Information: The power save mode employs a circuit which
creates a high level square wave signal used in
the power save function. This modification alters
the square wave characteristic to eliminate the
noise.
Procedure
1. Remove the covers from the radio and locate the main board.
2. Locate C-749 and replace it with a 2.2 uf 16 V tantalum chip
capacitor.
3. Reassemble the radio, power up and allow the unit to enter
the power save mode.
4. Check to see that the pulse type noise has been eliminated.
5. Replace the covers and return the radio to service.
