Uniden Pro 510 question

[Turbo T]

Question: do these radios "forget" what channel they were on if you were to turn it off and remove power to the radio for...say 5 seconds?

I know the new Cobra 19's do....was wondering if this little radio also does or not.

Thanks in advance.

I have 2 here and have never seen that...... yet.

You have 2 of what...the Cobra 19's or the Uniden 510's?

The Cobra 19 I have (19 Ultra III) goes back to channel 1 when you remove power to the radio.

The two 510's I have here we use on the quads when we go ride. We usually stay on ch3 and even after they sit in the shed for a while they power back on channel.

The Uniden Pro 510, Pro 520 retains the last channel after power is removed.

Yup great little cheap radio's for the money. Dare I say it but...........clip the limiter, run a decent mic and they kick a$$ for 40 bucks. LOL

Thanks...but why would you want to clip the limiter....

As a general rule you don't do this. If the radio has a VR pot for modulation then you would just turn it up. Many of the dinky radio's have no real adjustments to make. In these cases I have heard of people clipping the modulation limiter and getting a louder sounding radio.

But in the 510, its very easy to volt the final and achieve about 20 watts out of it. Just another option for that radio.

Do you have any links for a "how to?"

just be careful, there's an older version 510, and a newer version 510.
