Magnum 257 question

[Main]

Hello all, haven't been here in about eight years and it's good to see the forum that got me started still up and running. Even better is the fact that I recognize some of the names from years ago.
Way back in my freebanding days I used a Magnum 257 modified for 11 meters. My question is, does anyone have the manual / road map for the 11 meter operation for the 257?

Thanks in advance.

why would you need a manual or roadmap? just read the freq display.

Haven't used the radio in years and If I remember correctly the operation of a modified 257 is slightly different from the factory manual, ie: storing frequencies and perhaps other functions of the buttons .

I'm planning to sell it and really want the new owner to have complete operation of the radio.

here's the manual...

the call button after the mod changes bands, with E being cb. push function call to change between channel and freq display. function then holding the call button for 3-4 seconds will take you to 10 meter freqs. doing it again will take you back to where you were.
other than that I think everything else is the same before or after the mods.

Is yours the older yellow display?

Thanks, that's the info I was looking for.

Man - I'd almost be tempted to pick up an older yellow Magnum 257 I remember mine with the NPC mod was a rocking radio. Sold it to a guy when I lived in Hawaii 12 years ago and he's still using it on the air.
