HR2510 RIT-control mods by Dave Schmarder, N2DS. ...In my recent quest to find mods for the Uniden HR2510 10-meter rig I received a lot of inqueries into my findings, so here it goes - the first real 'mod' I've found for the HR2510. My thanks to Dave, N2DS for supplying the information and original notes on his mod. (Dave can be contacted at the N2EZG pbbs. ----------------------------------- "...I bought one several months ago and found that the RIT control didn't work the way I wanted it to. The problem is that the TX and RX are unlocked from each other and if you wish to transceive, you had better make sure that the control is in the right position. I decided that it wasn't suitable that way, so I locked the transmit with the receive. There were two problems that arose when I did the mod. The TX and RX frequencies on USB were shifted by about 50hz or less, noticable, but not serious. We all operate USB on 10 anyway, but could cause difficulty on RTTY/AMTOR. The other problem was that on CW, you would have to zero beat the station to be on his frequency. I solved that by placing a relay circuit in the line to return the RIT to original operation on the CW mode. I am sending you the original notes concerning this to pass along." 1. Remove cathode end of D150 from circuit board. Connect two wires, 1 of each to cathode of D150 and to where the cathode used to go in the board. 2. Connect other ends of these wires to the N.O. Contacts of the relay. 3. Find & clip ORANGE wire going to board near D119. Leave enough wire to board to connect new wire. Solder ORANGE wire removed to the common contact of other side of DPDT relay. 4. Connect wire from where that orange wire went (near D119) to N.O. contact of the DPDT relay (same side as orange wire went). 5. Connect wire to where RED wire near D172 is connect. This added wire is connected to the N.C. contacts on relay on the same side as the orange wire. 6. Connect free end of 2.7ohm resistor to VIOLET wire near D176. 7. Connect emitter of 2N3904 to black wire near D160 8. Connect wire from relay and cathode of 1N4148 to red wire near D154.
