    Magnum 257HP NB/ANL Problem

    I bought a Magnum 257HP off the internet used. I have no complaints other than the NB doesn't work. When I press Function NB the ANL will light up on the screen. No matter what I do the NB will not light up just only the ANL. Am I doing something wrong?? This is my first 257. Thanks, W4BSS

    RCI Serial Number question???

    How do you tell what year a RCI radio is made by just looking at the Serial Number? I know on my Kenwood TS-850 you just subtract 2 from the first digit of the serial number and that gives you the year. Such as my Kenwood S/N is 70,xxx,xxx so you subtract 2 from 7 and you get 5. So it was...

    2970DX Amp on a Galaxy DX94 HP Questions!

    I got a smoked 2970DX with a good amplifier section. Can I put it on a Galaxy DX94 HP? The 2970DX has two 2SC2290s in it. This is the model before the 2970N2. The wiring looks the same basically plug & play, but I thought I would ask. Thanks!!
