My advice----don't bother with anything that has the Midland name on it. Spend a few bucks on a better, more mdifiable radio. Will pay off in the longrun.

Hello rxr59,
Welcome to the forum. I don't have a schematic but here are the tuning points for that radio,
Midland 5001: RV1-Sq Range, RV2-AMC, RV3-S Meter, L2-TX Meter, RV502-SWR Cal, RV501-AWI, TX Tune-up: T2, T3, T4, L5, L10
Decreasing the power will increase the swing. Turn RV-2 fully clockwise. It is not a powerhouse but is a very nice radio.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your midland radio. I've owned several midland radio's over the years and they are very good and worth the money. You'll be happy with it.

Hi, can someone tell me how to bump up power a bit, and how to adjust the mod to 100%. I have a mosfet upgrade installed, someone else did it but I have no contact with them now.
Thanks!
