Since there seems to be some intrest for the mod I shall give a brief description of it here.
I only have a very poor fax where to put the extra components on the solder side of the IF board.  I discoverd some printing errors in the mod (but they are corrected here).
 
The mod is called "Modification to improve AGC action in data mode FT-1000MP".

On IF unit:

3. on solder side of IF unit remove R2140 (corrected! original R1240) 15k and R2142 (corrected ! original R2142) 56k.
4. Add 56k between the junction C2105 and R2124 to R2076.

5. Add a 100K from the same junction to R2003.

Not in the mod but, (got that info from somewhere else (don't remember just now) C2235 3.3uF shall also be removed (on solder side) if it exists.
