also am power seems to be ok 5 watt dead key with about 12 watt swing but ssb seems to only get about 12 as well and that's where it starts to cut out and swr readings go up on dummy load external meter shows no swr but internal meter shows its there but using another radio to monitor it i still...

yeah i was thinking about that last night about it sending out harmonics witch is why i checked the bias and wouldn't ya know someone has been playing around with vr112 and 113 both were set WAY to high so i backed them down i got vr112 right at 50ma bit i could not get vr 113 below 100ma

haven't had much time to tinker with it but i had the idea of checking the bias witch for this radio should be 50ma on both driver and final correct. and with a multimeter set to the 20A scale 50ma should read out 0.05 correct?

i could be a cold solder joint somewhere when i removed the heatsink to replace the so 239 the driver next to the final seem to have a few legs that were not soldered to the board right and came loose but i went through and fixed that issue

No recieve seemed ok but the mic jack does seem a little loose as in when i tighten the mic plug the whole jack tends to turn but i wouldent think that would be it

Replaced it

Yeah those seem fine as well

went and changed out those capacitors mentioned and same issue tried checking swr card didn't see anything bad there either idk am still seems to work awesome and ssb gets random swr spikes like there's something intermittent

Yeah i dont think i really want to break that but on the other hand i do have a parts radio that still has that card in it

your asking me to desolder one grond tab at a time and check for continuity between it and the ground foil correct. even though its desoldered it should still have continuity because of the other ground tab still being connected and those two have a trace on the riser card connecting the two right?

No havent recieved them yet and lol im not worried to much about ruining the board its just the fack it would.be way easyer with a desoldering iron

i did hook a 3 foot jumper and ran one lead to the jumper and the other to the case and the grounding tabs on the swr card plus the for spots mentioned up top all seem to check out might wait until i can get a desoldering gun to desolder the ground tabs on the swr card i have desoldering wick...

so your saying lift the one ground tab at a time and check for continuity between the case or foil ground and the ground tab i lifted correct? and i actually just put the radio back together installed the mica insulator on both final and ground plus a new so 239 connecter and AM still works...

was just curious how i should check for the ground loop on the riser card

No still was doing the same thing either way

thanks this does actually help alot i think what i was seeing was open lead swr as when i moved the coax around power would go away and comeback. i did test that coax on a few other radios one of them being another 2510 and they acted fine

is there a specific size wire to use from the center inductor to the board the wire that came off isn't really much good and all i have on hand is 24 awg it looks really close to the same stuff that came out of it.

nvm i actually had one that's the same as what came off in way better condition. took the heatsink off by unscrewing the final and driver then unsoldered the grounding tabs then installed the new one waiting on the thermal paste for the final and driver before i put it back together. now just so...

actually i just rechecked it for good measure and the inside part of the connector is loose and does make a difference when i wiggle the connector around tried to resolder the wire coming off of it to make sure that wasn't it but that dident make a difference any idea where i can get one online?

yeah i looked at the so 239 doesn't seem to be loose and the solder looks ok and there is actually not a lot of glue holding those toroids on at least compared to some of the other radios that i have seen on youtube the glue really isn't around the capacitors mentioned which is why i was going...
