Mirage MX 86 HP....

[22racer]

Mirage MX 86 HP. Anybody used one these late model radios? Not finding much on the net yet. Little info out there for the 36 HP AM only. Looks like a good small chassis radio with AM SSB, and channels......

 

[9C1Driver]

Yup looks like a new SSB Export, so far no reviews.

 

[Mudfoot]

Not new.

It's been out for awhile. It converts with an e-chip like the 29XX flavors.

Also wondering if it has an external speaker jack and frequency Counter jack.

Anyone know how to tune one of these, can find nothing on mods for this radio

 

[Mudfoot]

It's not a great radio by any means. I think Ranger just slaps some obsolete boards in them. Mirage is kinda like Ranger's budget line.

I can't remember what board is in it.
