om...
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?

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.

Try lowering the power on both AM and SSB power to get decent headroom on
both. What you have done is drive the output transistors to their maximum
limits. Not a good thing.
