    Trade: Keenwood TS-520s, Uniden HR2510, Heathkit GR-78

    2510's sold! I'm gonna clean the TS520s up and repost it... gonna target $200 price point. I found a way to normalize the finals. Working on a Philco audio amp now, then the kenwood. Turns out a bad laptop power supply was causing enough noise that I couldn't hear anything on any of my...

    Trade: Keenwood TS-520s, Uniden HR2510, Heathkit GR-78

    Ok, now I'm totally open to separating everything :blush: I would sell the 2510's outright, and the GR-78. Would still like to trade the TS-520s for something similar. Call me crazy, but I think I would like to have SWAN rig. I like tubes over transistors. But on the other hand, I could be...

    Trade: Keenwood TS-520s, Uniden HR2510, Heathkit GR-78

    I've got some gear I want to trade... Ideally I would trade it ALL for a working all mode HF rig WITH general coverage rx. Pretty much all of my stuff is in need of a little TLC. I would rather get rid of it all, and just have one(functioning) radio. Kenwood TS-520S: Missing side vox...

    Kenwood TS-520S for sale/trade

    I have a TS-520S sitting around here that I would like to get rid of. Would LOVE to trade for something all mode with general coverage rx. I put new tubes in it and never dipped(?) them, so that needs done. Thanks

    I need some POT, 5K that is

    I agree that perhaps most people do not know how to use a search engine. Luckily I started using computers in the 3rd grade. I was the first generation to start using computers at such a young age in school. That makes me a gen x'er. Back them it was an apple IIe.. We did basic programming to...

    GOOGLE was not helping me out. I use google several times a day. It is even my homepage. Thanks for the information

    I need some POT, 5K that is

    I guess any ole 5k will work as long as it fits in the spot the other was in. Oh and the knob would need to fit right. I feel a little dumb for destroying the one I had. :confused:

    TS520s alignment issues

    The only stuff I need according to the manual is a VOM, tuning wand, dummy load and RF signal generator(S-meter sensitivity adjust). I do not have a dummy load so I didn't do the drive coil alignment etc. And I do not have a signal generator so I did not do the s-meter sens adjust. I did...

    HR2510 display works when voltage 8.5

    I am having display issues. The display shows all 8's, LCD's all light up. I figured out that if I lower the voltage of my pwr supply to about 8.5vdc the display works fine. IC312(?), the 7805 voltage reg, has an output of 10v with normal pwr supply input. And it is about 5v with the pwr...

    TS520s alignment issues

    So I downloaded a manual for my new TS520s and I am try to do an alignment. I am following the manual but when I tweak the appropriate coils the S meter does not move. From what I understand I should be tuning the coils for max S meter deflection. I am pretty sure I am doing it right because...
