- Subject: 2510 slow on agc???
-
- Is your 2510 slow on agc??? does it take 3 frames at 1200b for the
- rx to come up to sensitivity?? do you want to make the rit a rtit (rxtxit)
- then maybe these mods will help you, they also may apply for the newer
- versions of this radio, you who have the 2600 may be able to use them.
- mod 1.
- speed up agc, this is easy, just pull out the transistor q111 and you have
- fast agc, if you need to select slow agc then put a switch from the collector
- to emitter and pull the collector pad to ground for slow agc
- mod 2.
- make the tx and rx both responde to the rit control and reduce the amount
- of frequency change for the control.
- this one requires that you locate the rit control and remove the following:
- r 802 a 1k resistor in series with the rit pot
- the rx 8v line that goes to high side of pot, remove and put aside, you
- will need it for power to nb switch and rf gain control.
- now remove the subassembly b801 pb-120 and remove r802. cut pc land between
- high side of vr802 and r 801 you will now solder the rx 8v line to the
- freed side of r 801.
-
- the 1k resistor, r 802 will be replaced with a 100k resistor, and a line
- will be taken from the 8v side of ic 107 the 8v regulator to a resistor
- network that will give aproximately 52k (you will need to experiment to
- get a value such that you rit pot will give you readout frequency when
- the feducial line is pointed at center)
- lift one side of diode d150, this will free the pot vr111 from the line
- that feeds the varactor on the pll board. you may use the pot in conjunction
- with a 50k resistor (47k) to set the rit pot to center position, by putting
- it in series with the 50k resistor and adjusting. this combinations will
- give aproximately +-300hz either side of readout freq.
- the best way to use the pot vr111 for this is to lift a jumper that runs
- to the land on the high side of the pot and solder the 50k resistor to this
- land. run a wire from the other side of the resistor to +8v (make sure it
- is not tx or rx 8v since that is switched on or off depending on what state
- radio is in tx or rx)
-
- having done these mods you will have a radio with a fast agc and a rtit control
- that will give the narrow changes needed for packet. the radio will be quite
- stable. now to see about putting a g3ruh modem on the varactor of the radio
- hmmm anyone for 4800b or 9600b on 10m (you gringos get a sta and lets try
- it, could be interesting!!)
-
- For this bit of work, i also got in the bargain a rx to tx time of abt 20ms
- i can send frames with a txd of 3 on my tnc-2 clone and the local switch
- will receive it just fine. there is enough front porch for all the radios
- which run open squelch or direct from the detector to copy the 1st frame
- out of the box!! (all our switch and bbs radios run 2211 modems connected
- direct to the disc or detector here in costa rica, thereby getting rid of
- a lot of problems of switches and bbs not copying the users.)
- if you have any mods for the 2510 or i think the radio shack 10m radio is
- of the same insides, please send them, lets put a lot of these boxes on
- packet and scare some of that cb and other illegal operations off 10m now!
- ciao and enjoy de chuck ti3djt@ti0paq.cri.na

- FREQUENCY MODIFICATION: PRESIDENT/UNIDEN HR-2510:
-
- The 10-meter mobile amateur transceiver will transmit and receive from 26.000
- MHz to 29.9999 MHz when the following modifications are performed:
-
- 1) Locate the CPU: IC 315 (UC-1201).
-
- 2) Pin 34 and 35 are together grounded (see the bottom - solder side). Cut the
- PCB Pattern to disconnect the pins 34 and 35 from ground. Now, both pins are
- free from ground and floating.
-
- 3) To activate 26.000 to 27.999 MHz (pin 35) and 29.7 to 29.999 MHz (pin 34),
- just add 10 K ohms, 1/4W resistor between the pattern of pin 34 and 35 to the
- pattern of DC+5V line.
-
- NOTE: The display will indicate the EXACT 40 CB CHANNELS (Yes sir!) when "G"
- band is selected.
-
- ---------------------------------------
-
- POWER OUTPUT MODIFICATION: HR-2510 and Realistic HTX-100.
-
- Transmitter power output of these rigs can be increased up to 100 Watt (SSB),
- when an easy modification/tune up is done. Complete details can be found in
