I'm wanting to add a discriminator tap to an older Pro-2052 I have so I can try and decode some P25 using DSD. First off, I've found some instructions on where to add the capacitor but I'm still confused about how to do this. I know I need to solder a capacitor to Pin 9, or somewhere connected to it. Can someone please explain how to do this in a simpler way? Most of the instructions I find assume I know exactly where everything is.
I'm guessing I solder one leg of the correct capacitor to Pin 9 and the other leg to the center conductor of some shielded wire, then solder the shield of said wire to a ground point in the scanner. Then I connect a 3.5mm output somewhere at the end of my piece of wire. Do I have the right idea?
I saw some instructions that didn't even mention a capacitor and some that mentioned the use of a 10uf 16v capacitor. Just need a little help here.
