Can you guys tell me if the HR-2600 can be modified for 11m or does it require major surgery. Thanks Joe

I has to have a chip switch as stated put in, they are a talker, great on ssb, audio and receive.
Look for roger byrd on the forum, he does chip switching and a tune up also around 18 - 20 on am and 38 on ssb...
I use a turner plus 3 mic on my hr2600 and it gets out on skip just great

My HR2600 is ChipSwitched by Doc of Doc's Electronics in Buffalo, NY. It does 40-45 on AM and 50-55 on SSB. Check him out.

There are a couple ways to do it, But The ChipSwitch is the best way to go with the Hr2600.
You can swap out the CPU that is in the radio, with one from A Lincoln/Hr2510, then it will mod , same as they do.
(cant remember the CPU #s right now)
Thing is you got to have one, so unless you run across a parts radio with a good CPU, you got to buy one.
You can Re-rock the radio by changing X302 (crystal) to shift the radio up/down to the frequency you need.
If you want to do 12 meters, you can swap it out with a 18.000mhz and so on.
The Frequency display on the radio will NOT read new frequency, you have to subtract X Mhz from the display, so if you shift the radio down 4 Mhz, the display will be off by 4 Mhz, not real cool, but if you just want a Radio to get on 12 that will Get-R-Done.
By far the ChipSwitch is the deal, Lots of features that make the radio a lot more user freindly.
L-one might say
BomB Diggity!
