HELLO:
  AFTER HOOKING UP MY HR-2600 TO MY PK-232, I FOUND I HAD SOME PROBLEMS
USING IT IN AMTOR. SINCE I LOVE TO MODIFY AND "FIX" RIGS, I GRABBED MY
TEST EQUIPMENT AND SET OUT TO FIND OUT WHY THERE WAS A LONG SWITCH-OVER
DELAY TIME. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I FOUND OUT THAT THE RECIEVER WAS COMM-
ING UP OK. IT WAS THE MUTE CIRCUT THAT WAS SLOW. I FOUND TWO CAPACITORS
THAT WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DELAY IN THE MUTE CIRCUT. TO FIX THE PROB-
LEM, CHANGE OUT C74 AND C99 (BOTH ARE 4.7uf @ 50VDC) WITH .01uf DISC CAP-
ACITORS WITH A VOLTAGE RATING GREATER THAN 15VDC. THESE CAPACITORS ARE
ALSO FOUND IN THE HR-2510 AS WELL. THESE SEEM TO BE C139 AND C99 IN THE
HR-2510 IF MY COPY IS RIGHT. THESE CAPACITORS ARE LOCATED NEXT TO THE
AUDIO OUTPUT IC (TDA1905) IN THE RADIO. THIS I.C. IS LISTED AS IC2 IN THE
HR-2600 AND IC103 IN THE HR-2510. I ALSO FOUND THE S/RF METER TO BE VERY
SLOW IN MY RIG. I FIXED THIS BY CHANGING C302 ON THE CONTROL UNIT (LOCATED
NEXT TO J304) TO A .01uf DISC CAPACITOR ALSO. THIS CAPACITOR IS ALSO IN
THE HR-2510. AFTER THESE MODIFICATIONS, I HAD NO MORE PROBLEMS MAKING ANY
CONNECTS IN ANY MODE.  73'S AND ENJOY THE UNIDEN!
