    opinions or experiences wanted on this test equipment

    The last time I did any serious HF radio adjustments I had a large and heavy 100 Mhz oscilloscope as well as an HP 1 Ghz spectrum analyzer. Due to finances and lack of interest, those items, along with several others, were sold about twenty years ago. Recently, my interest has been rekindled...

    more complete and simplified HR2510 PLL alignment?

    Well, I found some info from Rogerbird's site on L310 and 319. One being adjusted for high band, the other low band. I realigned it today using frequency counter and DVM as per the Uniden SM. Compared with my fully working unit. Went ok, but I am noticing that I appear to be losing about...

    more complete and simplified HR2510 PLL alignment?

    Thanks, and ok for that. I'll use the counter. Well, worse comes to worse, I can set both radios up and use the known good one as a reference while I make adjustments. I did switch out the microprocessor boards to make sure the tinkered radio didn't need adjusted for the other circuitry and...

    more complete and simplified HR2510 PLL alignment?

    Been over thirty years since I was active on 10 meters (and that long since I was active on any radio!). I have a pair of 2510's, unmodified, and talked the world on 10 in the early 90's. Put them away until my interest was sparked recently by some 10 meter activity. So, brought out the pair...

    high res Uniden Grant XL interior photos unmodded?

    Thanks, but I was able to modify a couple of unused PC connectors to do the job. I must have a few dozen laying around not used and put them to use.

    Funny you should mention SDR. I have been in the process of trying to get my old Softrock going today. Still working out a few kinks, but should be good to go very soon.

    high res Uniden Grant XL interior photos unmodded?

    It's one of these kits, but I don't think they're available anymore. I tried ordering one a few months ago and never heard back. The one I built I ordered a decade ago.

    high res Uniden Grant XL interior photos unmodded?

    Thanks again. Well, the more I look at this radio, the more I am inclined to keep it. I was going to UNmodify it back to stock and then sell it, but the more I'm reading about it, I may just leave everything as-is. I mostly use it with a receive converter to listen to the shortwave bands and...

    Ok, here are some images of mine with question imprinted on the images. Any thoughts on this welcome. Thanks in advance, once again.

    high res Uniden Grant XL interior photos unmodded?

    Thanks so much! This is a great start and may be all that I need. Not sure yet, but my circuit board side definitely had some components added. It's still a bit tough to determine where some of the clipped wires originate, so I may actually snap a couple of photos and try to narrow it down.

    high res Uniden Grant XL interior photos unmodded?

    Thanks. Not interested in sending it off anywhere as it's working just fine, but just want to restore to factory specs i.e. the need for the photos.

    high res Uniden Grant XL interior photos unmodded?

    Hi folks, First timer here and wasn't sure where to turn. I have a Uniden Grant XL in my possession that was modified in several ways, and I am trying to restore it to factory default. I have the copy of the SAMS for it, but the images in the copied ones leave a lot to be desired, especially...
