Eagle Tomahawk Export 10 Meter Radio

[whiteastro]

I keep seeing this radio pop up for sale every now and then around here and makes me curious for information on this radio as far as quality of build and if it is friendly to mods. The info I get from internet search says it will do from 25.165 - 29.695 MHz in AM FM SSB

Everything I heard about them is they are basically crap.

Thanks I believe I heard that before. Maybe that is why I see it pop up for sale often ! LOL

Yep that's one of those that has the reputation of being a turd.

Been there and done the tomahawk thing. 100% genuine turd.

Not a bad looking radio but you all confirmed my ( Let The Buyer Beware ) feeling.

I use my Tomahawk now and then. I find it best for a lower sideband . Scan feature is nice.

Is this the Tomahawk that's the same as the Cherokee and Northpoint CBS-1000?
That's all I come up with searching.

Yep, with minor variations they're the same radio with different name badges, each belonging to a different importer.

Thanks. I have one of the Northpoint badge radios. Doesn't get much use. I do need to replace the lights for the meters which I have replacements for. Just been lazy about getting to it.
I don't think of it as a 10 meter radio as it is more of a CB radio that is very easy to enable a ton of extra channels.

I was just going to say there are a few versions with different names. There is one that seems to be better than the rest. I just don’t remember it’s been so long.

Its no Icom or Kenwood, but considering you can probably get it for less than 100 bucks, it is OK.

It’s a lot like a Magnum, 257, same kind of frequency coverage two of the three have the same display. I just don’t think the output is anywhere near what the Magnum Radio’s but it’s cool looking and it’s a base station. If you have one or buy one, check the power supply, there’s something in there that gets real hot and I remember putting a heat sink on the one that I had. They don’t drift they stay on frequency not like those Galaxy Radio’s.

Looks the this Tomahawk is a base radio and the Sidewinder is one of the many Magnum 257 variants.

Didn't Copper sell a version of this base called the Mongoose?
