    Omega Force S45HP-missing jumper?

    http://www.cbtricks.com/radios/rflimited/magnum_257hp/graphics/Magnum_257HP_Freq_Conv.pdf Robb-that is the same website that I was directed to. Not sure if I will attempt to solder it myself though, I have never soldered a circuit board and don't want to screw it up.

    Omega Force S45HP-missing jumper?

    I talked to Magnum today. They verified what GI Joe said and they also told me that due to federal gov regulations they could not instruct me over the phone as far as how to convert it myself BUT I did receive a tip on a website that should be able to help me out. Currently I am at work so I...

    Omega Force S45HP-missing jumper?

    I finally spoke to GI Joe, they say that the conversion changed and that it is shipped like that to them. I called around to other retailers and they said the same thing. Anybody have a CB shop that they have dealt with and recommend? Because it looks like I am going to be paying to have it...

    Omega Force S45HP-missing jumper?

    Have you spoke to GI Joe about this yet? If so what did they say? Or perhaps you can call RF Limited and speak to Sam Lewis-he is the technical engineer and see what they are going to do to make this right?

    Omega Force S45HP-missing jumper?

    Robb-I do know what I am looking for and it is not present. And of course the radio is not working without it-that is the main problem here-the jumper is missing. I am waiting for a response from Magnum to see how they are going to rectify this situation. binrat-I got it from GI Joe.

    Omega Force S45HP-missing jumper?

    I just verified that the jumper shunt was supposed to be in the radio so I am thinking that maybe it was intentionally pulled out because I declined to let them modify it. If so, not cool. I'm now waiting to hear from Sam Lewis to see if Magnum is going to send me a replacement part.

    Omega Force S45HP-missing jumper?

    Hello everyone. I just received my new Omega Force S45HP and I went to convert it and there was no jumper-I thought it was supposed to come with the jumper or am I supposed to order one? The CB shop who sold it to me wanted me to pay $30 to convert it for me but it is such a simple thing to do...
