Has anyone had any problems with their Magnum S 45 HP's?
I just bought one a couple weeks ago and the thing has developed more problems than I can shake a stick at!
First after maybe the second day I had it hooked up, one morning I turned it on, and everything lit up like normal, only no RX or DX...Like the antenna was disconnected. But I left it turned on and after about a half hour it came to life, and worked perfect for several days...Then it did it again...one morning nothing for about a hour, then it started working...It's done that now maybe 3 or 4 times...
Next thing I notice, which is weird. is on the lower channels like around channel 1 threw 6, if I go to check the SWR when my Amp is turned on, the SWR meter pegs all the way in the RED...And if I go down to the D-Band the SWR is Pegged on the meter...
Here's whats even stranger...On all the other Bands (a.b.c.e,f etc.) the SWR is just fine...Just D and some of the lower channels on the CB Band have the problem...
Next problem to pop up, is on SSB...It's only swinging about 50w's...AM is close to 90w's...
Then there's the "Echo"...If the "Talk-Back" is anywhere close to accurate on what the echo sounds like on the Air...It totally sucks!
Got a email into RF Limited to see what I need to do as for as warranty go's. But I was wondering if anyone had ran into problems with their S 45's...
Before buying the radio I checked as many of the Forums as I could to see if anyone had had problems with these radios and found really nothing...
Waiting to hear back from Magnum INT'l...
