im kind of a pack rat when it comes the the hr-2510-2600 radios. they are great for what they are. probably one of my favorite radios.

yes thats a ranger fc-390 freq. counter hard wired into the grant. they might of ment it wouldnt work cause when you key up the numbers jump around but it dont effect nothing. soon as you unkey it goes right back to the freq.it works really well truth be told.

must have all kinds of antenna restrictions there where ya live huh mongoose.? heck, get a antron 99 type antenna and when it gets dark just put it together and stick it on a poll or somethin then take it down before light. lol.

Thank you bionic chicken and suicide ride. your info has been quite helpfull. i really like the scouts and the ones i got are keepers.

ok ill try it. the other scout amp the screw is a little brass slotted screw. the mini scouts looks like a little bolt. i was told these are input tuning screws.

say 295, i dont know how to post pictures on here. sorry. im not sure what the little screw in the back is for. just trying to find out. ive seen these on other old cb tube amps. i thought i read somewhere about it might be the plate voltage adj.not sure. these are sos electronics scouts. the...

i got a older waters and stanton coupler at-1000 antenna tuner and was wondering if anyone had any info on it. it has places for 1 coax and a couple different wire antenna hook ups. is this rig just for receiving or can a guy transmit on it. i tryed to google it but didnt find nothing. its not...

buy the tubes thats in it,its probably a old low drive cb sweep tube amp. i probably would try it out with a radio with no more than a 2 to 4 watts dead key and a 15 or so watt pep swing to it. other than that i dont know. it was probably made during the cb hayday. try to google nitro 300a tube...

buy what ever you want but keep the 2510. the galaxy radios are more trucker cb style and the 2510 is more hf style. ive had and got all kinds of radios and wont part with my 2510s or 2600s. you can still buy 2950s. the receive on the 2510s are nice and quite. and ill agree with kingcobra,get ya...

lower the rings to make the imax longer,raise the rings for shorter. if your swr is worse on your lower freqs., lower the rings to make antenna longer. worse on upper channels,raise the rings.
