I had a 257 for 1 day, put it in my car and drove to work, as I pulled up to the first stop light after leaving home, the needle started to climb up to the red with white noise/interference, it pegged the meter with noise as I pulled away it started to come down, same thing at every stop light, I work on the strip in Vegas, the meter was pegged constantly on Las Vegas Blvd, I never had that problem with any of my other radios, I bought the 257 because of space issues in my Mustang GT, I sold that radio on E-Bay to a guy who wanted it as a base, I explained why I was selling the radio to him, probably worked good for him in the country but, never looked back at the 257 because of the noise/interference it had, I know others who don't have any problems with interference with theirs and swear by them but, for where I live and work, it just didn't work out. Widowmaker
it's pretty sensitive, but nothing compared to the 75wxst i had..
there's definitely one severe "hot spot" and a couple of smallies between work and home but i've learned where they are and crank down the volume when nearing the monster
i'm training for the ham lic. so worst case scenario is the Mag becomes a base and i look at something else for the Ram
GT, nice
i had an '05 GT vert... on gorgeous days like this i really miss it
