I just bought a Emperor ts-5010 and performed some mods on my own that
I found on the web.
All the info I find regarding this radio is about 2 to 3 years old.
What I really want to known is anyone aware of this mod and should I
do it?

Tweak and Peak Emperor ts-5010
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

1-) Audio limiter - R247
2-) AM Power - VR 111
3-) SSB Power - VR 103

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have performed item 2 and 3 and opened them up all the way, but for
some reason I'm kind of resitant to perform number one. (cut audio
limiter - r247, since I dont know what the Audio Limiter does)
Before I performed the step 2 and 3 the radio output was 10W AM and
20W SSB now it puts out 55W AM and 60W SSB. But everybody I talk with
in the radio says that my audio is low or there is something wrong
with my modulation.

Here is what I think:

After performed the step 2 and 3 the radio got unbalanced (high watts
and wrong modulation) and if I perform step 1 the radio will get
stable modulation should make it better. (I could be wrong I"m just a
25 year old guy learning about radios)

PS:
I have the best coax and I'm running a wilson sw2000

any suggestions/comments on the radio are appreciated.
