Very similar to an S-3. I had one...was a great talker, but if you use talkback..the control is on the back of the radio, which is a bit inconvenient. I bought mine used...got a great price and would do it again. Sold it because I wanted a ssb rig.

Have Northpoint NT-3-HP as backup radio. Good on air reports from locals here they don't know if I'm on the Northpoint or the Magnum S9. Owned this one since first of the year, no problems talks good, pretty clean audio..
Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
