Magnum 357HP???

[Thumper76]

Bells just added it to their lineup. Definitely different...

Hmm, sounds familiar. Just can't place it.

Thanks Mudfoot!

Wonder if it'll be less crappy than the first time they tried this.

Apparently there's also a 457 (200 watt version) floating around too.

That's right, maybe second time is the charm.

 

[Thumper76]

Just curious, what was the issue with the first one?

They look just like the first ones from 12-14 years ago, I wonder who is making them or if they are actual Magnum radio's. Thumper the main problem with 1st generation Magnum products like the Delta Force, 257, 357, and Alpha Force was they had noisy receive. Newer Magnum versions have gotten much better.

Maybe cbradiomagazine.com will bust a move and whip a review on this radio for us.

It would seem that magnum has had plenty of time to work out any issues if they truly have or this is an attempt to move some old stock. I saw one of these for sale listed as a land matic 357. Same radio and controller/amp section as the magnum listed. It would be nice if magnum stepped up with something good. The radio should not be an issue as they have updated it since the first release of this radio. It would make for a great mobile with limited space as the radio doesn't even have a heat sink. Will have to wait and see. Come on cbradiomagazine and give us a review!

I don't care for the interface cable. However, I'd much rather own one of these instead of that hideous looking Maxlog incantation.

Another recycled radio...

I had no idea this was coming back. I'm guessing the amp will be one of their RFX-175 boards paired with the most recent 257.

Isn't Ranger coming out with something new?
