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,

You can't go wrong with a Larsen! I have been running them mobile for over 15 years and I only had one to go bad due to a bad coil.
I also have tried a NMO "L" bracket mounted to the side of my tool box. The antenna did not like seeing the truck cab and I never got good results until I...
I'm thinking about buying a Voyage VR 9000. I believe this is a Galaxy 88 clone except it is missing the mic gain control.
My question is, what do you guys think about this radio? Does it have dual finals? Also what is the output? I heard it's just as reliable as the old Galaxy 88.
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...
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...
I have a old orange display RCI 2970 that has the single driver and single final. I have been thinking about doing the dual final mod to the output section off the radio.
Is it worth it?????? What will I gain besides a few extra watts???
Will this be to much drive for the "2" 2sc2290's in...
Also do you guys think I will need a Mic Preamp to make the Heil work.
I was also told you don't need a Preamp with a Heil since it doesn't require voltage to work.
I know on my Kenwood TS-950SDX I have the Heil connected straight to the radio with no preamp and it SOUNDS GOOOOOOD! I know that...
I haven't tore into it yet. I will post my results soon and I hope to get a recording! I lost my job so that is first priority for right now and trying to please my wife.
Thanks everyone for the pointers I hope to have this done by the weekend.
