    Bought two Magnum s45HP new and one has issues

    That's what I have heard. I just hope that the repair goes through and they don't reject it because of the 11 meters, even though that's what these radios were really designed to run on! I have a 257 blue face without the RFX-75. It does 40-50 watts on my Kenwood SW-2000 meter and it is a...

    Bought two Magnum s45HP new and one has issues

    Sent my s45hp off today. Hope they don't reject it since it has only been modded for 11 meter and nothing else!!! Also, my friends s45HP, bought new at same time, has developed a glitch on ssb! It TX great on ssb, but has no RX on ssb. You have to turn the radio off and back on to get ssb RX...

    Bought two Magnum s45HP new and one has issues

    Well, I installed my friends s45HP in his truck tonight on a K40 mag. Mine is on the base with the Sirio and I talked to him all the way to his house which is roughly 20 miles and rolling hills. Man these radios really have audio! This was all on AM because its his very first radio and I...

    AR-3500 HELP!!!

    Thank you so much! That's the best Wes I've heard all day. I actually posted this radio along with an Emperor TS 5010 for trade into a Magnum s9hp but I'm still debating on keeping this radio. It's beautiful!

    Anyone want to do any trading?

    I recently picked up a super clean, super nice AR-3500. It's the 30 watt version. Has the SP-1 board and the scan board factory installed, also has the original power cord and Palm Scanner mic. This radio is a 9 out if 10. It transmits, receives, all lights work, knobs are smooth, and buttons...

    AR-3500 HELP!!!

    I just bought this sweet looking AR-3500. It's the 30 watt version. It is smoking clean! Very clean case, almost brand new looking face, 8 pin mic plug, factory installed SP-1 processor, and scan board for a factory Palm Scanner mic. All MINT! I'd say its a 9 out of 10. Still has the...

    Bought two Magnum s45HP new and one has issues

    I see. Well, the reason I was wondering is. If I have to pay to have it shipped, then I might as well ship it to a custom tech for a real alignment and tune up right?

    Bought two Magnum s45HP new and one has issues

    Because since I told him that there was a difference in pep between the two radios, he did say they would tune it up

    Bought two Magnum s45HP new and one has issues

    Ok good! He said I had a year so if I wanted to run it for a couple weeks since I just got it, and then to call him back and get an RA number and it would go to Tenn. he just didn't say anything about shipping so I assumed I would have to pay. Will the repair tech re align the radio while...

    Bought two Magnum s45HP new and one has issues

    I called Magnum today. They sad the repair shop will be in Tenn. I assume I will have to pay for shipping to the repair shop? If so, then it will be around $15-$18 to ship. That will sure suck on a brand new out of the box radio that I just received yesterday

    Bought two Magnum s45HP new and one has issues

    I assume however, since I opened the bottom cover, desoldered con1 location, soldered jumped con3, and pushed the reset button that this has void my warrantee?

    Bought two Magnum s45HP new and one has issues

    Yes. The meter is sticking. Is this something I could just change myself instead if sending the radio off for repair since I just got it? I mean, will another meter of same size fit the bill? Maybe something with some color to it like the old cobras green and red? And what about the blue...

    Bought two Magnum s45HP new and one has issues

    I have a DVOM, and I can solder to make it look like a machine did the job. I had Electronics for two years in vo-tech back in the day and know my components well. Just no scope, freq gen, or directions to get me started.

    Bought two Magnum s45HP new and one has issues

    I wish I had the equipment and instructions to align these and other radios myself.

    Bought two Magnum s45HP new and one has issues

    Yes. I'm not sure why. But I recorded the videos with my iPhone of the one radio that was doing good power with the TGM on so I could prove I wasent crazy;)

    Bought two Magnum s45HP new and one has issues

    I did not buy them tuned or aligned. Why would I need a brand new radio aligned? Not being a smart a__ either just wondering. And I have no idea why my meter showed consistent recorded readings like I mentioned.
