I have pretty much narrowed my search for a base station radio. But, have a few questions. I have been hearing talk about a new version with a 6 digit freq counter. Is this True? If so, I am thinking about waiting. I do alot of ssb but also rag chew on AM alot and want something with audio and playtoys like echo.
Also, can I bring down the wattage on ssb If I do not have a HD amplifier?
I know there is alot of people that talk about wattage and here different numbers but what can I expect from a stock omega? On ssb and am? One thing that drew me to this radio is that you really don't need to put the golden screwdriver and do any mods its mostly ready to roll with great am audio.
I was at first thinking about getting a vr-9000 but I still would have to buy a ex-2018 because I want that type of echo.
I have found the Omegas for 250 plus 22 dollars shipping to be the cheapest place on the web from a no name newbe company.
But, Is there a reputable dealer for magnum that is whithin 10 bucks other then the hy/copper owner?
Thanks for the help
