This is for a mobile app. When it comes time to hook the base back up, then its Kenwood only for me. Thanks for the input though.

Picked up the 2950 from a member on here, which is almost flawless, and picked up the 2510 from a guy at work that did not know how to use it. Speaker was bad, and had a bad audio cap, so I installed a new cap and everything works perfect. Well, except for I bypassed the int speaker and are...

Just wanted your opinions on either keeping my very nice 2950 and 2510 or sell them or trade them off for a Galaxy 95t, or 94hp or 98vhp? My current rigs are super nice. Thanks

RADIO IS BACK FROM THE DEAD!!! Repaired!!!! One of the caps were out, replaced with 470uF 16v and works fine! Thanks everyone, and thanks to Rogerbird!!!

Hi, I was thinking about doing the MRF 497 transistor mod on my 2510 that I recently picked up. I was wondering if there are better transistors out there than the 497? What about MosFets??? Anything equiv? What about any new mods for power output with the old radio??? Thanks. OR IS IT EVEN...

Hi, I do have modulation on both ssb and am on transmit. Just no sound comming out of the speaker. However, I do not know if there is any receive either. Hard to tell. No movement on the meter, but with no speaker sound??? I did hook my 2950 back up and it was very quiet. The meter was not...

Hi, I picked up a President HR 2510 today and was told that it had no audio. I checked it when I got home and sure enough, no audio comming from the speaker. I hooked up my working external speaker and still nothing. It will tx. and has good power output. The accessory plug is the one with...

Quick update. Ok, I thought I would do a simple test on the Magnum today. I ran an extention cord out and used my regulated power supply to power the radio, and connected the wilson 1000 coax up in my Honda. Perfect results. For whatever reason, if I use an alternate power source than the...

The set screw that attaches the trunk mount to the trunk lip. Not on the base load. Everything that I have done so far has not changed the noise level yet. I am about to build the rfi filter to put inline with the power supply wires. then I will post a follow up!

Thanks Rob, I think I will run the 257 in the house for now. Probably wont be near as noisy on a regulated power supply. Unless it picks up fan noise??? I have never had luck with inline filters. Have you? Anyhow, your right. Probably need to run the 2950 in the Honda since I set the swr...

Ok, sorry. I thought I made it clear. I AM NOT using the swr meter built into the radio. The 257 does not have a built in swr meter. I am using a simple swr/field strength meter. I have run the antenna lead into the ant. side of the meter, and a 18" coax jumper into the transmitter side of...

Ok, here is what I have done today. I ran a larger copper wire #8 awg from the batt pos. and neg. and ran it across the front of the car, and down the driver side fender into the fire wall. Before the wires were #10 and ran dirrectly from the batt and across the under hood fuse box, and lots...

Hey, thanks for the reply. Yes, I have made sure that my antenna ground points are solid connections. The accual trunk lid is skin is glued to the inner supports, and there are plastic washers on the hinges that attach the deck lid. That is why I took a grinder and cleaned the paint and glue...

Hi, I bought a brand new Magnum 257 blue light radio and a brand new Wilson 1000 trunk lip mount antenna to install in my Honda. I ran the power wires dirrectly to the batt. I attached a #10 copper jumper dirrectly to one of the set screws on the antenna and back to the body of the car. So...

Show me a working TS -430 for $250 and I will buy right now!
