Sorry I dont have an extra knob for you, and I cant make out the crack in the fuzzy picture, but is it possible to pull the crack a little wider and sneak some epoxy in there? If so, then wrap something around the knob (tape?) to hold it tight until it dries. Its a different animal, but I've...

FWIW, I recently purchased one on Amazon; they call it the Sirio Fighter; same thing as far as I can tell just a different color, Camo; doesn't come with the magnetic base but I put it on one from my old Wilson 1000 and it works fine. It is now selling for a few bucks more than I paid, but...

By Sweet Spot I mean, when you're mobile, do you find one place that just gives you a better chance of making DX contacts than others? I seem to have the best luck on a bridge over the CT river; no surprise I know; I regularly see guys hanging out at night in the break down lane on some local...

Thank you for the response Camaro1. I am aware that the radio is very stable on SSB, it is one of the reasons I chose it, I guess it is just to give me more of what I have with the Cobra; a quick glance tells me both what channel I am on & what frequency I am at; right now, on the 257, it is...

At the risk of being labeled a newb, here is my question. I never really cared if my radio's had a frequency counter, my 2000gtl does and I have been happy with that, now though I have been wondering about connecting one to a Magnum 257hp and I am wondering what that entails. Is there a need...

Got one, thank you. K

I like to think of myself as "Frugal" Sounds more respectable :biggrin:

Happy Wife Happy Life just sayin'

Have you checked the swr with the amp in place? If I recall correctly adding an amp can affect it. Perhaps the drop in performance is the unit being being hit by a high swr?

One more thing - I Prefer one with original mic

Greetings one and all: As the sign says: I am seeking a unmolested Magnum 257, later version with blue display & Top Gun technology, but does not need to be the HP version. if you have one you are willing to part with then please PM me with the details. Thx K

I would 2nd the 122; nice radio in a small package, and if you want to spend some money on something more modern look perhaps into the Magnum 257. Check out cbradiomagazine.com for good reviews on both. For the Uniden PC 122xl, don't be afraid to check out craigslist; you can find some great...

Where did what come from, Doc?

I am quite fond of the Kris as well; interestingly, it has a side firing speaker as well.
