 Subject:       Elimination of possible faint pulse noise from
                speaker when radio is in power save mode

 Information:   The power save mode employs a circuit which
                creates a high level square wave signal used in
                the power save function.  This modification alters
                the square wave characteristic to eliminate the
                noise.

 Procedure

  1.  Remove the covers from the radio and locate the main board.

  2.  Locate C-749 and replace it with a 2.2 uf 16 V tantalum chip
      capacitor.

  3.  Reassemble the radio, power up and allow the unit to enter
      the power save mode.

  4.  Check to see that the pulse type noise has been eliminated.

  5.  Replace the covers and return the radio to service.
