If you're going to buy a Magnum S980, don't buy it from Walcott. I live about 2 hours from there, and I've had a few "Walcott tuned" radios come across my bench. On AM they pretty much just turned the deadkey up, and SSB was gargled. Not good.
I also had a friend buy a new Ranger 2995DX from them, he wanted the radio unmodified, didn't want them in it to convert it, peak and tune, etc... got the radio home, and Walcott pulled out the little channel "key" before they sold the radio to my buddy. He was furious. Obviously, they can't be honest enough to keep everything in the box when it's sold.
Stay away from them.

And I had excellent service from them on Galaxy DX 94HP. Works and sounds great AM and SSB. Best price in the U.S. and free shipping.
I had good dealings with them... sort of out of necessity, there were the last retailer I could find that still had a few Cobra 200GTL-DX models in stock (maybe I didn't look hard enough but I had just squeaked out enough "play money" from my odd ebay sales to buy a new radio when they started getting scarce). I even emailed them before buying it to ask what revision the board is, in the radios they had in stock. They assured me it was the latest revision. They weren't lying. It is. Happy with the comms they provided me before purchase, and the purchase itself was smooth and shipping was quick. Satisfied customer.
