Thanks! I will certainly try the reset. I know i'm about to pull my hair out! Have a great weekend guys

Maybe the light is out. I'm not sure since this is my first Magnum. Golden screwdriver might have been in it!! I know the ANL is working because I can hear the difference & ANL is on the display but no NB..... I'm scratching my head also!

It doesn't work in any mode. Also the Freq Jumper is in Expanded mode CON 3. When you press the NB button the ANL turns on just fine but no NB on the display.

I bought a Magnum 257HP off the internet used. I have no complaints other than the NB doesn't work. When I press Function NB the ANL will light up on the screen. No matter what I do the NB will not light up just only the ANL. Am I doing something wrong?? This is my first 257. Thanks, W4BSS

Got to love a roger beep on sideband! Especially when wearing ear phones BEEEEPPPP!!!!!

RCI 2970N2!! Proven design and very stable on SSB. No problems at all!

Got it fixed!! I did some looking and found a cold solder joint near the regulator. I'm back in business again. Thanks!

My RCI 2970 orange face has lost modulation in all modes. I have carrier in AM and FM and if I turn on the roger beep I have output in SSB and CW when it beeps. People can here the roger beep in all modes, but talking into the mic I have nothing. :headbang What should I start to look...

Very well said Tony!

some people will claim 200-250, but that's just the 'work of the Golden Screw Driver' and a big bad Dosy meter AMEN to that last statement! I'm using a Bird 43 with the PEP kit so no Dosy in my shack. I think I will back it back down to 150 since nobody will know the difference between...
