    is the magnum 257 still made ?

    All I can say is my Optima mk3 gets good reports on ssb, mic gain set at about 2 o'clock, and power at 100%. On AM, I think I have used it two maybe 3 times.... I like my Optima mk3 But I like my FT 450D better....

    HLA 300V PLUS 1.8mhz and up. Is this any good?

    I have been hitting the books, ope to test by X mass. What I was thinking was this being a "real" amp with filters and all it may not be a splatter box....and I have a bad habit of buying things "I may need..." if the price is right.

    HLA 300V PLUS 1.8mhz and up. Is this any good?

    Saw this on ebay, will this work on 11 meters (cb) or does it need to be worked on first? http://www.ebay.com/itm/HLA-300V-Plus-Professional-Linear-Amplifier-1-8mhz-and-up-With-Fan-from-R-M/172851966501?_trkparms=aid%3D111 Thank you.

    is the magnum 257 still made ?

    How right you are. The Yeticom Optima mk3 is a top notch radio, and not a 257 "clone".

    Try this on for size... http://www.yeticomnz.com/ on the left hand side click on the "Yeticom Optima". I love mine, but my FT 450d is better.

    102" ss whip. is it still the best

    Bells CB tune-up?

    My .02: I got a 2970n4 from carl, 5 years back (about). I asked him to" just set it up right...". He did that and I had meany qso's dx, and local, and the radio was given high marks. I also had Carl set up a dx500 and a "match up" with a Optima mk3. That too was good work. I have sold the N4...
