Emperor TS-5010 AM FM SSB Export CB Radio Overview

[@orange70383]

Nice radio, I really like the radios from around that time.

[@bryanhalverson9002]

My grandfather had one of these in the motor home when I was a kid, the beeping buttons drove granny nuts. Marv would let me talk randomly on am on vacation throughout the Midwest,This radio got me into cb and ham. Glad I was gifted the 5010 20 years later.

[@mikebottiaux5850]

I’ve owned one of these since around 1995. Never any issues.

Came out Septembe 1992 in USA in Canada in 1994 also great radio with Heavy Duty finals plus nice Double Tune Up too and lots people got open for 26.000 to 28.000 mhz plus open R.I.T. too plus bands A to J !

One option can get is NB/ ANL switch get small board add for Notch Filter on NB and when Filters off for better filtering on Vechile noise plus Electric noise to hear lot farther on distance stations are S1 or lower singal !

I love this radio bought it in the mid 90s and still have it today and I still have the original box it came in. I really love the receive on this radio it's real quiet compared to other radios i have purchased. Only thing I can't figure out is why my radio has a green backlight instead all the rest I have seen were orange ish yellow backlight.

[@vannjunkin8041]

Still have one of these.. nice little radios

[@stevevictor1586]

First nice radio I ever owned, a great side band radio , collector’s item these days

[@567caboverbob]

Bought one new in '92 also, really wish I still had it. Currently looking for one. 567 Caboverbob

[@bigdEnergy666]

I miss my old radio.

[@davidjason1116]

Awesome video my friend , I have one that I use everyday I bought new in 1992 thanks for sharing 73’s from 9WWS1185 western Newfoundland Canada 🇨🇦

Nice review, great radio. During last cycle peak I worked 36 countries on 10M SSB with this in the mobile. A couple of relative drawbacks for ham use, though. This rig has no provision for TX offset, like for repeater operation. Even then, if it were possible, there's still no PL encoder. On CW, the RIT is great so as to not chase your contact up (or down) the band during a QSO. But for 10M FM simplex, it's a neat small-ish rig. I've never maxed out the RF power on a QSO. I'm a commercial (and Amateur Extra) and I respect that some parts are either obsolete or prohibitively expensive to replace. Thanks for the review.

I had the Shogun Emperor for 25 yrs, bought brandnew back in 1994 I believe. It was a ok radio nothing that really knocked me off my sandals. It's just the Memories inside your head to all the Contacts and Countries that you worked with it making these radios so special for you. To be honest...technically seen those radios are cheap shit times 7351 for a lot of money actually

[@buzzsah]

Have you seen the ARF 2001 with Freq-counter lately? When they first came out, made in NM a back door of a high-tech communication company that was making a lot of Gov communications. Well anyway, they sent me a demo to try and keep. It was the best-built radio I had ever seen, and TX/RX was the best around. They had a SAM switch that would turn on the best speech processor around at the time. When I turned it on everyone thought I kicked in a 100-watt amp. I saw a used one a few years back asking $2500. WOW. If it was new in the box I'd buy it just to have it.

[@cbradiomagazine]

The ARF are super rare, haven't seen one in years and I couldn't afford one anyway likely :) Here's some photos from someone who shared with us - cbradiomagazine.com/arf-2001-ssb-cb-transceiver/

[@buzzsah]

@@cbradiomagazine It was one of thoes radio I wish I kept. Even in todays world it would be best.

[@buzzsah]

Did you ever see the inside? a work of art.

[@tomcapehart1878]

Your website has the info that the fcc rules have a 155 mile limit for cb comms. This was removed along with a few other rules when cb, frs,gmrs and the dot radios services were all combined

[@lambrettadave7]

Great overview on a class radio, I look forward to seeing another soon

[@benwille6680]

Another excellent review! Keep up the great work.

[@joshp2424]

Got two of them love them.the best receive The predecessor of the 2510.

[@zukispur5493]

Alinco DX 10 + my cobra 148gtl DX with a teardrop 575 mic works for me. Can't see myself purchasing another radio.

[@VickyGeagan]

These radios may not be exports. Possible around February or shortly after next year 2022, Uniden corporation is lobbying very heavly for the Authorization of FM use for CB band in the US. The FM portion may be set up in the 26 MHZ portion of of the band. some ware in the old broadcast radio station 26 mhz fm radio station studio to transmitter links portion of the band. APRS use has just been authorized for GMRS band starting January 1st 2022 in the US. Go to FCC.gov for more information.

[@thomasneemann5618]

is it possible to turn off the button beep? if so, how?

[@ReverendBow]

Great video, nice radio.....

[@mikenonya426]

A friend of mine just picked one of these up, I was playing around with it and found the channel readout went up to 50, not 40. it covers bands 26.000 to 26.490, 27.500 to 27.990, and 30.000 to 30.190. he said it was a 10,11,12 meter radio. Im just curious about the extra 10 channels?

[@buzzsah]

I was just going to say, looks like the 2510.

[@freepressright]

I have two of these, and I'm getting ready to ebay one of them

[@matthewdavies2057]

2510/2600 had a bad filter setup. Used narrow SSB filter on AM. Sounded like crap. How's this do?

[@6839will]

Love mine

[@davewatson2829]

Ok there was A Radio real similar to this Radio the Radio I'm looking for was A 100 Watt Radio 2SC2290 output Transistor, it also had A Multi Color Display , I don't know Production Date but 90's -2005 the last time I seen one was on Ebay I hope someone has seen it and can solve my Mystery Thank You

[@650thunderbird]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@the11metersd.x.channel.55]

These radios where marketed in Europe Circa 1993 as the Emperor Shogun.. 1st run had display issues. President Lincoln Mk 1 was a way better radio..

[@RhythmicSensations]

This is not a cb, and is illegal to use on the 11m cb radio band.

[@cbradiomagazine]

Yes, and yet many people do use them everyday.

[@RhythmicSensations]

@@cbradiomagazine yes, it's messed up.

[@vannjunkin8041]

Uh oh its the 11 meter police
