How to set CB TRC-447? - Radio Shack TRC-447 CB Radio

There is a mod for the TRC-447. The AMC sensor is Q205 and I never really recommend cutting anything related to the AMC but this radio is the aception to the rule. I posted a picture for you. The red marking is Q205. Follow these instructions carefully and you should have a much louder CB. Q205 has three legs. One on one side and two on the other side. You need to cut the soldier leg on the side with two legs. This will be the leg closets to the bottom of the diagram I posted. Use a razor and and perhaps a magnifying glass and be very steady. You want to make a complete cut until you see nothing but the circuit board. You may have to make more than one pass. It is very important you only cut the bottom leg. When your done with that turn the radio over and spred L205 and L203 with a plastic screwdriver. Spread them evenly and make sure they don't touch anything when you are done.
