Hi Guys,
Just removed yesterday from my 45MHz Honda S2000 the stupid Capacitor from the Car PCB.
The Car PCB is damned small, and so I decided to keep far my cheap solder.
The smart tricky is to use small scissors, token from my girlfriend, what she uses for cut nails. As final clean I used a small flat screwdriver and a chewgum.
How the tricky work: use the scissors and kill the capacitor, take cares to don't add too much power on this operation for don't damage the PCB.
When the capacitor is well broken, with the small screwdriver create an empty space between the two initial margin of the capacitor.
Finally with a pre chewed gum, remove the dust on your PCB.
The work don't take more then 2 minutes, no big skills are required.
As result my (G-05) 57Mhz Rx-7 with just killing the capacitor in the controller has a range over 7 meters (at least 5+ gain with the mod).
My (G-02) 45MHz Honda, has no capacitor on the controller, and killing the one on the car, I just got 50cm more ! What a crap ! I just guess that playing with the variable induction in the CAR PCB I can gain something !
My 35MHz Booster, as a painful lower 2m range and no idea how to increase, a part from an external antenna that is on the way to arrive at home !
Last tip: almost all the Bit has a knot in the wire antenna, removing this know and let get out from behind the PCB of the car, the length will be longer and the range is better. Again no mess with the solder is required !
One observation, the PCB of the booster is very different from the on in the standard Bit, so no idea where is the capacitor to be killed (if there is one). As well the controller is 100% different, so same story.
The G-02 and G-05 have slightly different PCB, a part from the capacitor, present in the G-02 and not on the G-05, the G-02 has as well a capacitor between the B-F, the two contact that go to the engine, I can understand that this help and preserve the engine, but as well can drop performance, since the resistance in a SMD capacitor is far to be as max as possible.
