I guess I have different expectations then most here. I would say its not possible to have the G76 sound good on receive or transmit, what with the design and parts they used. You have a 470pf (yes, that pico)coupling cap between the 1st and second stage microphone amplifier, and they inject the receive audio in there also, and that uses another 470pf (yes pico) coupling cap, with a .001 to ground.
How can anyone get nice lows with a 470pf coupling cap, or highs with a .001 to ground. I would think a good telephone would have a better frequency response. We wont even get into the modulator grid driver/audio output transformer, which makes the dx100 driver transformer look massive. As an audio output transformer, it looks like it would be good for about 1/4 watt output. The mike input amp has a 470K resistor to ground, no way you are getting any lows at all there....needs to be like 5 meg for lows with a D104. I did some playing around with it tonight, and found two problems, a bad 12ax7 mike amp, and also found the modulation gets better with much more grid drive. I have some changes to do in the mike amp stage, but it sounds back to its old self as long as the output power is below 60 watts. The audio waveform looks ok up to 100% mod at 60 watts, any more and it starts looking funky, I did not look into the driver tube and its circuit yet, or the clamp tube screen circuit in the RF output.
