    Omega Force S 45 HP problem

    My S45HP is possessed. I haven't used it very much in the last year or so, but recently the channel selector won't select the channels properly. You turn it to the right to go up the channels and the channel numbers reduce. The dimmer switch doesn't work Function selectors often wont work...

    Magnum s45HP SSB

    Mine will act strange when you first turn the radio on so heat isn't a factor. Sometimes when turning on the radio and the audio is at a certain level. I key the mike and the audio level increases. Keying the mike again may decrease it again. Strange.

    Magnum s45HP SSB

    Just to hi jack this a bit. My s45HP has been operating very well but of late people are reporting that my signal is fluctuating in strength. I notice that when I turn the radio on the receive will increase in strength if I key the microphone. I did read somewhere that the RFX75 that power...

    Magnum s9 and tx star 250 hd

    Thankyou, the Texas Star and Dave made aren't readily accessible for us down under ( so I am aware) so we tend to gravitate to what is available and the RM stuff fills the need. My power supply is a 25amp , peak of 35amp. Not sure I could run the amp and the radio from the same PS. You can...

    Magnum s9 and tx star 250 hd

    Thankyou for your reply. Although the S45HP can swing high from a low dead key whilst on AM with the so called Top Gun Modulator on, I normally run it on SSB in the standard setting. I can dial down the power to a very low dead key and it doesn't appear to swing very high from that setting...

    Magnum s9 and tx star 250 hd

    I have been looking for an amp and am willing to purchase a RM Italy. Some reports are that they are rubbish and the TX is splattered.. others say they are good bang for your buck. I have a Uniden Grant ( old school) and also a Magnum s45 HP which I can vary the power enough to run an amp. I...

    Northern Italy to Australia. Not a bad effort.

    You had a very clear and a much louder signal than the local stations. Excellent. Bruce

    Northern Italy to Australia. Not a bad effort.

    Turned on the radio, Magnum 45HP and 5/8 antenna..and heard this chat. The signal from Northern Italy was stronger, much stronger than the Australian DX. That is 16 thousand kilometres north west of here. Bruce

    Best or funniest handle..

    Police radio chatter in the 80s ..many a time on the night shift the female trainee radio operators would be rostered as the radio tends to be less busy and they can learn the ropes. Common trick from the working units was to just transmit the words " six inches" and the operator would...

    FCC at the tolls and scales

    Didn't Georgia pass a state law that permits guns to be taken into schools , churches yet the Feds worry about some guys yapping on radios. Doesn't seem right.
