Rogerbird is awesome. He has helped me many of times with various problems that are not documented on the net. Send him a PM, im sure he will lend a helping hand. He knows his 2510's. Pump

Try and contact Mod Squad in Hawaii. He is a 2510 guru. That audio comming out of that 2510 is unique. Loud and clean with drive. His radio with stock final dead keys at 3 watts swings 20 on RMS at 14.5 volts. Peak over 50 watts bird. Contact him here: YouTube - modsquad326's Channel...

Great post x2. Exactly what I was trying to get at. If given a choice between the two radios, The peak meter worshipers would take the 257 as described above because "it does more peak watts" LOL! They would think...hmmmmmmmmm the 257 has 10 more peak watts therefore its "stronger". They are...

From my testing.... RMS watts will push an amp harder then "peak" watts. For example, Lets Take two radios on the bench with an amp: Radio 1 does 6 watts RMS and 35 peak Radio 2 does 10 watts RMS and 25 peak. Connect both radios to an amp for example a Dave Made M200 (1) 2290 drv (2)...

Unfortunately, they are not available. These were made in the late 80's to early 90's to compete with the texas star dx3200. If you can find one, you wont be disappointed with it. Made to run on a 12 volt setup. Volt it to 16 volts and bye bye. Basically, its two messenger m4v's slapped...

2 2879's Drv 16 2879's class AB. This is a real linear amplifier. No class C here. Rebuilt by Justin back in 2005.

"no one builds a Class AB 16X." Introducing the messenger 2kw. Hi :) Freecell, Please send me the following I paid for over 6 months ago: (1) Francis "di bar" (1) NEW DP50 mic (1) custom made 4 antenna mount for the francis amazers. Thank you, Pumphouse. You know my number...

Im still waiting for my stuff from freecell. I really dont think it will ever come. I PAID for it in full. Its been almost a year! Buyer beware! FREECELL STILL OWES ME: 1. DP50 mic (new) 2. Dual antenna mount for francis amazers. 3. Custom made quad antenna mount for francis amazers...

Not quite. Got some of my stuff back. NOT ALL. He STILL owes me two antenna mounts and a new mic. Un FKN real. Earth to Jack...... Can you please send the rest of my stuff? Thanks in advance.

Damn! People are beginning to come forward! Still have not received my antenna mounts and mic. Still no attempted contact made from freecell. How much longer am I gonna have to wait?

Over one month later, and no mounts and mic. Freecell, tried calling you but phone keeps ringing and ringing. Please contact me regarding the antenna mounts and mic. We need to talk. Pump

FIXED! Rogerbird, You are "the MAN"! Your detailed instructions were on the money. The problem was those three caps you described in your post. Incredible. All three were changed and my beautiful 2510 is back in operation. Under $5 to fix :) If it wasnt for you, id probaly leave it on...

Thank you Rogerbird! I will get to these little caps in a few days, test it, and will update progress here. Much appreciated, Pump

Mechanic and exit13.....i will try those tests and see what we come up with. I will update on progress. Thats why I love this forum. Genuine help. Thanks guys! Pump

Got this 2510. It transmits, receives perfectly. Problem is that im getting this crazy display as pictured below. The radio is set on 27.085 but thats not what the freq display is sayin'. when you try and change the channel, you can see some of the little led bars move but you still cant read...

I just picked up the drake twins T4xC and the R-4C from the wife of a silent key. The husband passed last year and won a CQ contest with the drakes. Problem is I cant get it to do 11 meters. Is there any thing I can buy to make these classics dip down into 27mhz? Crystals? Thanks in advance

In my case, its all about getting out . Will be using the Rod of God strictly for skip talking. I figured this. Spend money to buy one 320 amp alternator and run a 16 pill in my truck at 16 volts and the Rod of God to compete with the biggest mobile here in Hawaii which runs a 3CX3000. Ill be...

Beautiful! Thats why I like this forum. You get it straight up from both sides of the fence. My questions were answered professionally, with detailed information. WL5Z, Ill pass on the shoelace LOL!

I found another Rod Of God success story: 13va wrote: "At Bodeines break 2 years ago I key against "Mr Fort Bragg" 721 as they called him in N.C. Mr Gunn and Bodeine him self were running the water gate about 10 miles away.. Me and 721keyed, him with a 3-500 box doing he said 4000 bird. I ran...

Thanks linearone. Wonder where Dave got the idea to build something like this. I dont recall seeing a design like this in the ARRL antenna book. Maybe its there somewhere and i missed it. I dunno. I think its pretty funny that this antenna has been out for over 10 years and this is really the...
