excellent ssb radio, excellent ears, great feature that saves your 5 favorite channels on freq. and mode. I am getting another one.

a few threads on it already with good info . not saying that its not deserving of a new one though . seems to be a whole lot of radio with a good build quality for under $200 bucks .

Nice stout little dual final radio. Try and look for a newer blue display version, and if they make a mosfet version then that would be the most up-dated model.

I have 2 of the Magnum 257's. Mine have the blue display. I think they are one of the best kept secrects in the radio world. Very good TX & RX. A great performer and at great price. They even have a speech compresser installed. The lastest ones have dual 2030's and do 50 watts+. At less then $200 I think you will be pleased.
