Jail bars in rgb are common. The steve in the mods forums seems to have figured out a fix for the jail bars. My duo's output looks great despite the jailbars in the back ground. make sure its not your tv or a setting that needs to be adjusted. If not, it can be fixed. we have members here that can make it sparkle :)
If it were just the banding maybe I could live with it, but honestly I think the banding is fairly bad along with some other oddities in the picture. It's the only console I have that's been modded for RGB while all the others I have hooked up this way are consoles that output RGB natively. All those other consoles (Sega CDX, Saturn, Dreamcast, SNES) exhibit very little if any banding, the colors look good and they are overall really good images. Just not sure here if the RGB Mod needs to have some adjustments or what. Heck I'd even forgo the RGB right now and use the composite output since most of the Turbografx/PC-engine/DUO systems I've seen in the past have pretty decent composite output but even the composite on this one seems much worse than normal.

I scored my unit from Doujindance last year.  Quality work and works perfect.  I use Viletims's SCART to JAMMA adapter to connect to my cab.  It's awesome and playing the Turbo has never felt better ;)

I think I may open it up and see if possibly there's some issue with the RGB mod. Maybe it's as simple as something coming loose inside during shipping. The banding is annoying but something I might live with if the rest of the image was sharp. It's a bit tough to describe but there's a good bit of blurriness in the image and what I might describe as not very solid looking sprites on all games I've tested. When I hook it up with the composite cable for comparison that output makes a Sega Genesis composite output look good by comparison which is really odd considering all duos I've seen in composite actually look pretty decent.
