With all the added hardware modifications that have been installed on our 9x Radios,
it is considered to be Essential to upgrade the stock 5V regulator (max output of 100mA) on the stock 9x mainboard,
so that your 9x Radio will be more reliable when using it.
I have selected the Radio Shack LM7805C 5V Regulator which has a max output of 1000mA.
This 1 amp Regulator will give your 9x Radio plenty of power to support all of your hardware modifications and will increases the reliability!
All of the Hardware in your 9x Radio need to have plenty of power (Power: Amperage at 5V),
so that there is no stress, because of low power to any of the 9x Radio Hardware Components.
Like some of the stock 9x Potentiometers are failing after installing some of the hardware modifications.
