The concensus of those discussing the TM741A mods some time back, was that
if you removed R54 and R55, you should also CUT the green wire.  Kenwood
had printed some instructions that said to not to cut it, but the result was
poor sensitivity, birdies, etc.  Perhaps this is related to your problem?

Concerning the 800 Mhz band sensitivity problem, SOMEWHERE, SOMEPLACE, I
remember seeing a mod for fixing the sensitivity problem with the 741.  At
the time, I wasn't interested in doing the mod, so I didn't save it. 
This is not to be confused with the mod to add an extra antenn for 800  MHz.

My 741 works just fine receiving from 420 to about 470 or so, with
apparently very good sensitivity.  I have R54 and R55 cut and the green
wire cut.

If anyone who is following this thread is aware of the 800 MHZ sensitivity
mod (repeat, not the seperate 800 MHZ antenna mod) why not share it with
the rest of us?
