Just kidding, Actually those are nice radios. You got it for a good price and 30 watts PEP is good also unless you change some of the internals(I would leave it alone). If they are set up right they have nice clean, Loud modulation. I was very surprised how good they sound, A local had one here in town that was a pleasure to listen to. There really wasn't anything I did not like about the radio. Accessing the menu options was a little complicated until you get used to it. Enjoy it!

$125, man thats a good price for that radio. I had one a couple years ago and it was an all around good radio. No problems at all.
I have had two of them, the 02 model that I run now just keeps doing it's thing. I have bought several other radio's in the past year trying to out do the delta and no luck. I would say 30-35 watts is about right, don't believe all the big numbers you see people throw around on forums. 90% of that is just is nothing but wishful thinking. I have bought radio's that were tuned by this person and that and supposed to be showing strong numbers....never saw all the watts. Besides, alot of how well a radio gets out is in the AUDIO, not the number on a meter.
Delta Force
The Delta Force is a fun radio. Super echo and real nice scan feature.
I have owned several of them and wish I'd have kept one.
Do you want to sell it ??

you can turn up the audio on the channel changing mic pop the mic cover open and adjust excellent radio but its a pain when the frequincie light goes out to change

The Deltas are ok radios. RX stinks on them but that just a property of the older magnum radios. They have too much noise in the reciever. Good price on it. Ive never been a fan of the microprocessor controlled radios as they arent as user friendly in a mobile situation
They do have way too much noise in the reciever and thats the damn truth! I wonder if there is a way to fix that?
Thats just the loving nature of the pre S series Magnum radios. They were all that way....Delta, 257, 357...ETC

I bought one new, and did the NPC mod found on the CBtricks site. Radio really sounded great, best echo on the market IMO. SSB was pretty good as well, I liked the ability to adjust in 1 kHz jumps.
