    MAGNUM 257 HP Review

    No, I don't think much of the NMO27 either. In testing it does not perform well. Good info on the NMO30/34, thanks! I'm not interested in freebanding at all. It seems that some cber's think 10 meters is freeband, it isn't. I will be looking in to this. :)

    MAGNUM 257 HP Review

    Honestly, without any bias on my part the best antenna for mobile ops appears to be the KW7 Firestick. I can't use one because of trees and low branches where I live but as far as I can tell based on testing they are the best. When it comes to antennas, bigger is always better. The Larson coil...

    10 M mobile radio with good receive

    MAGNUM 257 HP Review

    PEP is 100 watts sideband with a tone and RF set to 100%. Most of the time it does not exceed 50 or so watts because I set RF output at about 50%. On sideband I can turn the modulation down to nothing and there is no power output. It's the 50 watts AM and FM I don't understand.. I only...

    MAGNUM 257 HP Review

    Power adjustment I could do with a little help here.. I read the review of this radio and purchased one..thanks for the review, it was good. I have owned HTX-10's before and they were good but they don't make them anymore. Thanks Magnum for a great radio! I looked at VR16 for AM adjustment...
