Mobile radio with FM operation

Hello,
what kind of radio do the best job on fm, modulation with stock mike should be loud and clear and i also prefer a sensitive receiver.

You might look at the Stryker 440.

my 2970 always did well on FM

i have a 2950dx at home too but i´m not lucky with it, the receiver seems to be sensitive but there is a high noise ground level (s3 and up).
the stryker looks pretty well and i need a new unit for my car. 8)

Try a President Lincoln, HR2510 or a HR2600. They have all worked well on FM. I used to talk to a buddy that lived 25 miles away no problem and quiet, real quiet.

I forgot about the Lincoln/2510/2600 radios. Excellent FM radios!

In Norway we are only allowed to use FM mode with a maximum power of 4w. We need really good and sensitive receive to copy far away stations. My best for Fm is 2950dx/2995dx with a sadelta echomaster plus classic mic.

As you can see i dont follow the norwegian regulations but thats because my nearest local station is 38km away and Norway is not the most flat country on the world map. I prefer Fm and SSB.

The Lincoln is very good to, you cant go wrong with Ranger or Lincoln.

Correct, they are no longer manufactured but, you can still find them for sale. You can also contact doc at Doc's Electronics and I think Premiere Electronics still sells the lincoln. I was on there website the other day and it is still showing them selling the Lincoln.

I've also found the Magnum 257 and clones to be pretty good at FM.

Very good modulation and sharp sound but not so good at receive as Lincoln/Ranger. Not that sensitive.

i´ve looked about galaxy dx series radios dx 93t, dx 45mp, dx 48t and dx 95t(2).
the receiver sensity is less than 0,25uV (http://www.rrcom.com/sales/radios/dx93T.html) does anyone know how good or bad are these using fm.

My Magnum 257 was a bit deaf at first, but responded well to a tune...audio quality on rx greatly improved by an external speaker as well. Those little internal ones just don't cut it...

But still no-where near my Yaesu or Alinco.The Ham radios do it all so much better than exports..but of course you pay for it.
