Go to www.radiowaveconnection.com
or search for radio mods in a search engine, you should find plenty of mods for that radio.

Mods for the Pro-510:::: Hope this helps, not much you can do with these though.

Pro-510 XL, Pro-500D, Pro-520 XL

Power Tweek and Modulation

There are 2 ways that I found to work.

1) Cut or remove D14 which is the modulation limiter. Re-tune L4, L5, L6, L9 for
maximum RF forward output.

If the modulation is to much, do it this way:

2) Change the 2.7ohm resister in front of the final bias resister (15 ohm w/RF bead) to a
.47 ohm. Re-solder or replace D14. Re-tune L4, L5, L6, L9 for maximum forward
RF output. If you damage D14, you can use a 1N914 to replace it.

PRO 510XL
IT IS A GOOD LITTLE RADIO AND LOUD. ONLY PROBLEM I SEE WITH IT IS THE LACK OF FEATURES AND NOISE SUPRESSION.I USED ONE IN THE LITTLE SHOP BEHIND MY OLD HOUSE AND ON A BASE ANT. IT WORKED REAL GOOD. IT WAS EASY TO PEAK AND I GOT AROUND 18 WATTS OUT OF IT. I USED A COBRA POWER MIKE AS WELL AND MANY THOUGHT I WAS RUNNING POWER.
