The whole name for it is NPC-RC which stands for Negative Peak Conversion-Reduced Carrier. What it does is (as I under stand it) is compresses the negative peaks of your modulation. I had gotten into radios back in the mid 70's and learned a lot from a local tech, then learned more on my own later by experimentation. I even ran a small radio shop out of my house, but a ugly divorce ended that.
Any way I am now getting back into them and unfortunately have never done one of these conversions, but from what I have heard around the net, a lot of people like it. It makes your radio modulate louder without the distortion

Billy has done a lot with this mod. He admits he is not the one to come up with it, but he has spent time with it.

I tried the mod and it worked well i appreciate the help

A lot of people knock it, but what I have seen and found from person experience it works good as long as you follow instructions.

I know this is an old post but that was the link to my post for the 3600xxx board. I had made 3 or 4 post on that forum about this mod for 3 or 4 different boards and had gotten many thanks for the step by step instructions for this mod. I for whatever reason never could post it to the CBT forum and dont know if i can here so i was emailing it to numerous members there. if anyone is interested in it i can try to post them here..... I love this mod and have done many many radios thanks to BDW (RIP Brother)

Dean maybe Buddy will chime in and let you know what limits he has as far as posting size. I know cbtricks was hard to post on unless you use photobucket or one of those programs to host it on.. the 1st npc/rc mod I did was on a galaxy 88 I ran in my pickup in about 2002. its not a bad mod.
Smoke Blower is still around but not sure how much he post here. he was posting on another forum and the last 2 months he has quit. I guess I need to emil him to see how he is doing.

posting it here is fine. Just make sure you use an edit program like MS office to edit the pictures to large web 640 x 480
