Go find a 2510 in good condition, send it to Doc in NY. Have him put in the chip switch and "do his thing" to the radio. Then you'll have an amazing 10/11m rig...which by the way will retain its resale value.

All the above mentioned items will came in way under your $500 mark.

If I take the test and get my 10 meter ticket, this is the radio I want.

Those 2510's were some talking ass radios Gordon. Had a tech around my area that knew how to work on them as well, and man they are a mean radio when done properly, my friends dad had one that he would talk around the world with barefoot, with a big stick up 70ft. This is from Florida. Some would say they are a "cheater" radio if you know what I mean. They are getting harder to find, although I have ran across them at ham fest's before.

I bought a Uniden HR2510 with the chip switch for $180.00. The second most expensive radio I have ever bought. Works like a champ. It has way more "Bands". I think the stocker has four bands. A,B,C,D. Mine goes from "A" through "I" and goes from 29.999 MHz down to 24.00 MHz. Flawless performance on all of them. I have been offered 300.00 for it. Hate to say it but I was a little rude to the guy. My most expensive radio can't work as well as the HR2510. The Yaesu FT 890AT has a problem with frequency stability.
