When I turn up the RF power knob (I think it's called RF gain on the 2510's), I can go as high as about 6 watts with all (audio and signal)okay. Above that I begin to break up and a loud hum appears (on the receiving end). If I crank it all the way, My audio completely is gone but with a loud hum and the signal drops off and bounces the needle wildly on the receiving end. This all happens running barefoot. I was told on lsb I was breaking up and have now been able to duplicate it on AM also locally. Have tried both the stock and power mic's with same results. This is a newly occurring problem as I've talked alot on this radio with the RF power knob turned up about 85%. I have been able to initially isolate my problem to where I position this specific knob. What can this be indicating? I'm wondering what might be going out and soon fail.

Then your positive peak modulation is gone because your deadkey is to high.
