Talkback can be added to these radios - but in most cases it just isn't worth it. Unless you run echo there shouldn't be a need for talkback. Both of these radios are better for SSB anyway where you don't really need talkback.

If you are looking to have big AM sound and want to run echo or need to hear your audio I'd suggest just buying a radio more suited to that kind of talking - perhaps a Galaxy or Magnum that already has talkback from the factory.

If you'd rather not modify your mint 257 or 2950 you can always just buy a $5.00 cb handheld at a garage sale and use it as a talkback monitor. Cheaper and you don't have to mess with the insides of the radios.
