I picked up this 10m radio at a pawn shop. From what I can tell, it hasn't been modified, but there were screws missing from the covers.


No mic came with it, so I bought an adapter off flebay and hooked up a Cobra mic. Seems ok when setting SWR's to an inverted V antenna.


Problem is the receive is terrible. I can program my RS Scanner for 29.6200 and hear an FM Repeater on the scanner antenna and the inverted V. But all is quiet on the Magnum. I did hear this Repeater on the scanner antenna when I first brought the radio home, but all is quiet now, no matter which antenna I use.


Any ideas? Sell it? No radio shops around my area.


Thanks for any help.
