I would really like to know the swing mod for this radio. If anyone knows please help.

check CBTricks I think they list a few different mods with part lists and schematics as well

Found this on CBTricks.com
I have NOT done these mods and I did not WRITE these mods. Nor do I take any responsibility for how YOU use the information.
Super Swing Modification - R264
Again, since it is asked for so often, I have included the Super Swing modification for this radio. Locate resistor R264 and lift the right leg (as you are viewing the radio component side up and front of radio facing you) of the resistor from the board. Install a 1N4001 diode in series with the resistor, being sure to place the banded end of the diode in the vacated main board hole. This will allow you to lower the dead key and still have the full swing capability of this radio. If you plan to use this radio with an external low drive amplifier, I do not recommend performing this mod. It makes it next to impossible to match the radio to a low drive amp. Also, if you performed the RF Output Increase Modification above, this modification may not be necessary. I tested this modification first and then reversed it before performing the RF Output Modification (to preserve the validity of the output modification results). Since I was very pleased with the results of the RF Output Modification, I did not re-do the Heavy Swinger Modification. If anyone does both of these, I would be interested to hear the results.
And for the Super Swing mod i remove the R290 (5K Ohms) and i replace the R292 with a regular 4.7K Ohms resistor with the 1N4001 diode and my base now has a nice swing with a great audio reports.
