New purchase President HR 2510

[hammer0630]

I have just purchased a 2510 I paid $75.00 I have read that it has no power variation pot but I found that to be untrue. I have turned it down to 1 watt but it swings to nearly 30 watts don't know if my RM Italy KL-500 could handle this kind of swing. Nice radio but I am a little spoiled from my 148GTL in receive and audio noise blanker not as good. It has the 11 meter conversion and the radio is cosmetically great and seems to work flawlessly. I am not sure how you hook up a external speaker which would probably help on the receive end. Any tips on this rig sure would be appreciated! Thanks

There is a jack on the rear of the radio for an external speaker.

You can just add a jack on the rear for easy EXT SP hookup, Thats how I did mine.

I stand corrected. I own one and still though there was a speaker jack on the back. :blushing:

I added a jack to mine also, pretty simple

I counted all the different freq's and came up with 410 and the 40 channels on 11 meter band are included. also what kind of mic would you suggest. The stock mic was not included. Kinda thinking about the D-104 hand held.

if your amp has 4 transisters it MAY handle it.

These are pretty good old radios, and really shine on SSB. I have a Lincoln, which is a kissing cousin to it. I have tried just about every mic you can use on mine, and found a MD104 to get the best reports. Keep the gain down to 3or less on it and it will sound very clear without picking up a lot of background noise.
