Joe, I do indeed have the "over modulation" modification, however I believe that is one of those published in ER.
The one that I *DO* have, that most likely is NOT out and published, is not very well documented. However, Bill gave me a complete "FINAL Heath" manual, with the schematic containing the PTT mod. The audio mod is there, and I do not remember off-hand if the 160mtr mod is. The only thing I have in a transmittable form would be the "last" schematic. I certainly haven't scanned the remainder - which included the ER articles. I have NO idea what size files that you can handle. I have broadband connectivity, so zI can either send the schematic in its three pieces, OR I can load them on my website for download, giving you the direct links for the three pieces. BE ADVISED! Each is approx 3MB in size! I believe that you are quite able to read them and figure them out! (I type by the Columbus Method - seek out, land upon - and discover) All typos are inadvertent and due to going too fast!
