snowdrop358 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Does anyone know of anyone who is selling 351 sets modified to work on the 10m band? I know Steve Slack was doing them but is out of stock of the radios. I'm not savvy enough to do the soldering required. I just need the radio itself, all the other bits I have.

g0ozs Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Guy Worth talking to Graeme McGreish at PTS Norfolk near Swaffham - he probably still has some unmodified radios and access to an ex-REME technician who could do it for a fee. A few years ago I would have done it but my close vision is a problem these days and I don't feel confident of working on other people's radios without risk of collateral damage, Have you asked Steve if he could modify a radio if you got it elsewhere and sent it to him ?

snowdrop358 Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 Hi Iain, I'll try PTS, Steve has the unmodified radios but no time to do the mod, life gets in the way for all of us! Thanks for the pointer, i'll let you know how i get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatchFuzee Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 If PTS can't help, you could try The Vintage & Military Radio Society:- http://www.vmars.org.uk/ or you local amateur radio club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdrop358 Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 Thanks, I've pinged them an email, see what happens. The VMARS is very interesting as well, thanks for the pointer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 If you buy a 351 to modify be sure to check it out thoroughly beforehand as there are a lot of dubious ones out there. I went through a batch of untested ones last year, out of ten only one actually worked. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdrop358 Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Another very good point, I only buy old radio kit from dealers who stand by their stuff or mates who have shown me that the kit is working. While i am sure that there is gold to be found if you are prepared to take the risk with 'sold untested', it's a gamble i don't have the money for :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
