You still need a bigger Power supply, The Pyramid brand has a tendency to
advertise more than what they actually put out. I had the same problem.
Invest in a nice 20 Amp Astron, or tripp-lite power supply and that will
take care of things for you. You can always get a good deal on one used if
you look. Qrz.com classifieds, Qth.com classifieds, etc. Good luck!

The HR-2510 has a 7 amp fuse. So if what you are saying is correct, thei supply
can't pull half of it's rating?

I have read elsewhere that Pyramid power supplies are adversely affected by
RF. They don't have filtering to keep RF from following the power wires back
to the regulator. However, I think there may be a problem with the radio.
Has it been used long on this P.S. or is it a new setup? Can you borrow a
different P.S. from a friend to verify the problem?

I think it's the power supply. Radio works fine in the car.
