Some are, some aren't and were published in Electric Radio.
Then there is one that never made it to publishing due to Bill's sudden
departure from this life.
I sent out Links to the schematic earlier. While NOT well documented,
Most savvy hams can work their way through.
Let me know

I have a DX-60 with the W3CK mods. It's AMAZING how many UNSOLICITED
AWESOME AUDIO reports I receive. People simply are sometimes in awe
that I am on a DX-60 (with the help of either an SB-200 or a Henry
2K4). These are usually more seasoned AMers too. These mods are not
difficult and are ve

Plate modulation is indeed a "possible" path to take.
If so, then you must decide whether to "outboard" the plate tranny - OR
begin to hack up the DX-60.
Each follows their "own" path.
Personally I chose to go with NO plate modulation, leaving the radio as
controlled carrier.
