there are 3 other top secret transistors to change out also.... but each radio reacts differently to those.

The mod works well. I've done it in several radios however I was told by a tech who shall remain nameless that it's a waste of time and doesn't do anything. I disagree though

You can also replace the ANL & NB diodes with Shottkeys as well.

Did you get to do the mod and if so, are you happy with it? Is the mod worth it? I have the same radio 29 LXLE Chrome, I'm was just wondering.

Thanks... Silverado 996

The schottky diode mod is S.O.P. on my bench for all of my radios any anybody who wants it. The increase in weak signals is impressive. D1,D2, D30, and D31 get replaced Pronto.(Galaxy Radios)
