Have a HR2510 and when i set it to operate on 11 meter such as 27.205 and then i go to scan it changes back to 27.200. How do i keep it on the 11 meter freq. or keep it on the 27.205-27.215 and so on ?

Bluedog,

You need to set the "BAND" to "G" and then hit scan.

Ok i set it to G band and i have to manually move it up 5 kc and hit scan and then when i stop it it goes right back to 0 on the fifth digit. I need to know how to keep the fifth digit on 5 after scanning ? Thanks

that only works for the 40 channel band then all you can do is turn the knob for the rest without it jumping to 0 instead of 5 on the end or get a chipswitch put in and not worry about it again. ggod luck

Bluedog,

The HR2510 will only maintain "5" as the fifth digit in "G" band. If it's not doing that you have other issues.

I have an display problem with my 2510,the s/rf scale shows full scale even when not receiving and some of the digits dont show or display partially. Should I check the detector circuit for the s/rf circuitry?

Just a guess.....but if you are having display problems, AND meter problems, sounds like a bad LCD controller chip (the one in charge of lighting up the display with the correct info)

Aside from metering problems, do you have any other symptoms, or does your radio work fine other than those issues?

To firebirdTN: RE: hr 2510
everything else works fine, no other symtoms. Can that chip be replaced ?
Maybe it's time to update and
get a new rig. Thanks

Art search around the web... you'll find info on adjusting your HR2510. You will find the pot for adjusting the meters readout. If you don't want to bother let me know... I'm willing to buy it from you.

I have a new president lincoln with the mrf455 final. No mod's have been made, but I did turn up the amc all the way. However, the radio does not drive the amplifier I run when on ssb. If I whistle, the amp produces maximum power on an external watt meter, but when I talk, it appears that the wattage is being surpressed. The needle on the external meter just doesn't flow to anywhere near maximum. What needs to be done to the radio for the amp to perform to its potential?

Anonymous do you have a true PEP reading meter? I'd say that you don't and even if you did you will not get a reading as high as when you whistle into the mike. When you whistle into the mike you get all kinds of harmonics buzzing throughout your radio driving up your power reading. Maybe you need a driving amp for your other unit if it is a high drive unit.

Anonymous,

I've seen this on several of these types of radios. Try turning AMC back down to a reasonable level, with some forward swing (Modulation talks). Many have limiting circuitry that actually cut's the modulation when driven hard, or it could also be that you are turning to a dead spot on the AMC pot (past it's potential - seen that before too). Take the amp out of line and see what kind of drive you get that way, it could be an internal problem (with amp), a bad jumper (coax), or some weakness in the radio on SSB (are you sure the mike is keying up all the time) etc. If you back it off and things begin to work, step back from trying to maximum power, and go for modulation, clarity and quality...it will work better, folks will understand you, and your equipment will last a lot longer. Check those SWR's too. Good luck

THE 2510 needs a chipswitch to go to .205 not .200
