Title: I did the digimod!!!!
Post by: bagtagsell on November 25, 2003, 02:36:01 PM

Hey everyone if you are thinking about the digimod for the UA-5 do it yourself.  I have never soldered or anything of the sort untill now.  Read the article it is clear and concise.  Here are some things I thought I should add.  
1.  Buy thin diameter solder.  I ended us using .15 diameter solder.  I made the mistake of buying to big of solder at first get the smallest they have. (640-35 e)
2. Get a low wattage soldering gun (I used 30 maybe should have used 15) (640-2067)
3.  The traces are above the copper circles and I couldnt even see them till I magnified at 5x. (63-848)
4.  Two scrapes with my exacto knife severed them.  The pressure I used was like scratching your arm (if that helps)
5. I used radio shack intercom wire to bridge the gap. (278-0858)
6. You need some helping hands to hold the wire as you solder to it.  I bought this. (640-2063)
7.  With all the crap I bought I still saved about $100
Its Very Easy and makes the UA-5 tons better.  Now how about that warm mod...

Now we need a how to on the p-mod and warm mod.  I'm sure it's no where near as simple but I think we have some pretty capable hands here (this does NOT include mine....I had a tough time making mic cables that worked!) :P

On the oade site it says they change some capcitors and op amps..........which ones is the question.  I have a good idea on the op amps and caps but just not sure.
