I had 2 of those at one point and was very impressed with the receiver on them. Imo it's a decent radio but the tx is lacking and that's even after the radio shop had one for warranty work. I think the feature many like about that rig is the vfo from what I've read. So little were made that they're proud more of a unicorn than the s6 or s9 from magnum.
I'll keep an eye out for you and let you know if one pops up in my neck of the woods.
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.
