I have one I bought from ScrewDriver at Bells CB. Did the diode mod for RX. put a top gun compressor in it. Been a great radio. Only issues ive had was voltage regulator and the antenna wire going to the antenna connector broke inside the radio. Ive talked all over the world on it on SSB. Great radio. A lot like the Galaxy 77. Matter of fact i'm sittn here listening on it right now. Talked to California on it earlier today.
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.
