    OK, once you transmit the 1 kHz 30 mV tone to the CB radio via the microphone pin, where do you get the signal to be analyzed on the oscilloscope?

    I connect scope probe to dummy load. You can make a few turns of wire on coax between radio and dummy load and connect probe to that wire.

    Ok once the modulation envelope is displayed on the oscilloscope, do you remember how to proceed for the calculation of the modulation percentage?
    I want to thank you all for your availability and for the time you are dedicating to me.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around removing the modulation limitation on the Alan 28 CB radio to improve audio quality. Users suggest removing the Q510 transistor to disable the limiter and replacing the original dynamic microphone with an electret capsule for better modulation. There is confusion regarding the location of the R650 resistor, which some users claim does not exist in the schematic. Participants share links to service manuals and diagrams, and discuss methods for testing modulation levels using oscilloscopes and signal generators. The conversation highlights the importance of clear schematics and proper microphone selection for optimal performance.
