Greetings to all!
I am sorry for the length of the message but


please read it!


I am having some problems with my President
Lincoln (Uniden HR2510): it won't transmit!


When I press the PTT button, the TX icon


appears on the LCD, but that's all! It is still


receiving and nothing happens.

Did you hook it up to a meter?
What did it say? What type antenna are you using? Check your
connections, including the mic connection. Have you tried switching
mics?

Now the second problem: one day I turned it


on, and a horrible loud noise came from the


speaker. I turned it off immediately. Now every
time I turn the radio on, it draws as much as


2A for about a second, and then then the


current draw drops to 1,5A (still too much) and
a quiet tone can be heard. I found out that the


TDA1905 chip is getting extremely hot very


quickly - so this may be the cause of the


sound problem, and I hope that replacing the


chip will solve it. But there still is the TX


problem that I can't solve. Maybe you have


experienced something like that. Please help!

I have experienced exactly what you described concerning the
non-apparent transmit,,in fact, the results were identical. Poor
solders, crimp-ons, couplers, jumpers, coax, tuner, etc., and of course,
the antenna system can duplicate this problem. Since the radio is acting
up in other ways, I'm certain one of our whiz bang techs can steer you
in the right direction.
