Radio peoples-Has anybody ever come to a solid conclusion on how to open up the audio response on the talking House 5 standard version? I have read all the prior posts on this and there seems to be some contradiction on parts (C 301?) and what to use. I’m just curious as it would be nice to have a final conclusion with what parts to use and with pictures of the board so a person would know exactly where to put the part replacements that would really make a difference in performance - if possible.
I use TH 5 units here and for all practical purposes they sound fine with an added low end boost using a Radio Shack EQ but they still don’t sound like a broadcast station either.
I’m sure cost of transmitters between a commercial grade transmitter for broadcast use, and TH may have something to do with it!
On the upper audio end transmitting using a TH 5 and using a crystal detector tuner to receive the signal, the TH 5s are crystal clear and sound as good as FM.
I’ve seen several schematics of the TH 5 and early versions on line and try to find parts layouts, but it appears there were many revisions with time it’s hard to tell what is what on the actual chassis a person has in front of them.
