I got this along with a handful of firesticks and something called a fireball. I helpec lean out a house and was told I could take all the radio, computer, and firearm related stuff, since they didn't want it. So I did. The house was a friend's parents and they had to clean it out and I had a truck ...

Ok this radio does not get power to anything. A couple of times I was able to get power, but not anymore. When it did have power, it had no lights on the front whatsoever, the channel indicator did not light up(so I had no idea whether I was transmitting or anything else), the SWR meter on the front...

Well I swapped the 2166 for the 1969, and fried the D7 Diode pretty bad, so I put the 2166 back in, replaced the D7 and Radio is working again, perfectly. Biggest issue is, I can't find a source for that damn .47Ohm resistor to replace the 2.7 in front of the 15 ohm for the final, so I can get a bit...

Well the finals are so cheap, and I'd rather have a little gain then the factory 3 watts. Granted just replacing that resistor and retuning the coils might give me more of a gain then replacing the final. I can get the final around here locally for just a couple of bucks. The 510's are not bad radio...

Francis Maser is an EXCELLENT Antenna. I had an old 72 Maverick with a tweaked Midland 77-117(not the best but did do good on the bench), and used a francis maser(102" in a ball mount) in the location for the radio antenna, and I was slamming it out EVERYWHERE. A friend of mine did me a REALLY ...

I have a Uniden 510 Pro XL. The normal tweak says to replace the 2.7ohm resistor in front of the final, with a .47ohm. Fine and dandy I can understand that. However........What if I replaced the stock C2166 final with a C1969 final? Would the radio even function? I bet there would be alot of inducto...
