    Magnum 257 or Grant LT?

    I think for mobile operations the Grant would have an edge on the 257. I have had 1 257 and 1 of its clones and both radios had very noisy receivers in the mobile. I had to run the RF gain between 60 and 75% to knock back the noise levels. I did at one time have and old 3 button President Grant...

    HF sched with Hams on the forum.

    Doc, 20 might be a little rough from CO to OK, but it would be worth a try for sure. I know what you mean about warmer weather and antenna work. When you can get more antennas up we will have to try 40, I'll bet that would work great. I don't have any SSTV equip Doc or I would give that a whirl...
