Just talked to Sam Lewis last week seems there is a run of 257HP radios to hit the market this week. He didn't say much about the Omegas but did say he was not a big fan of SMT but seems with most of the manfactures there isn't much choice but for now there are a bunch of Omega radios in stock at sellers and the 257HP will be there this week. Sam Lewis owner of RF Limited is a very honest man if he sold you a radio today and you sent in the warranty papers the warranty will be honered as long as it says it is good for. Sam is not a crook and will never be along with the rest of his family, so buying anything Magnum new with papers will not be an issue at all. If you need to verify this just call him at 877-624-6869 and hear it from the horses mouth. Sam and his family were the original Palomar people, AR 3300 AR3500 all those old tube amps and now RF Limited with the Magnum Radio line. They will be around for a long time I am sure making radio that we all want.
I think I'm having some of the same
problems my radio sounds awsome
on am but side band sounds raspy
had to get volume knob replaced and
this radio is only about a month old
echo controll seems to go crazy every
so often but the ssb stuff is really getting
to me cause the reports I read were good
ones so I went with that radio so I really
don't know.
Don't think I'd bother with Copper to tune it; think I'd send it to Chris Holland @ 'The Radio Shop' instead.Copper is famous for crappy tunes. Your radio will continue to sound like crap until you get a factory spec alignment.
When you send it back, just tell them to reverse the Copper tune. They'll know what to do.
I got mine stock of ebay, still have slight raspy SSB audio. I'll send it off eventually.
I got the radio from copper electronics
I paid for the align and tune now what
they did don't know exactly so thats
about the extent of that but I wish there
was something that I can do before I send
it off again for the second time the first
was for the volume knob and it took about
1 month so really don't want to send off.
Scorpion make sure it goes to the Radio Shop in Ontairo Calif. Chris Holland is the Magnum man. Also make sure you enclose a letter of what is wrong and tape it to the radio case exactly how you use the radio and what it's doing. He does his best to fix it and has a lot of experience but he needs to know exactly what your complaining about to repair it properly. Guess you should call Magnum first and get an RMA number from Sam Lewis so there won't be any warranty issues. Sorry to hear you paid Copper for anything but the radio. I don't think I would let them fix my bicycle yet along a radio.
