Sam Lewis - owner of RF Limited/Magnum Int'l - gave me some news about some new products that will be available by mid to late November.
First, a handheld AM/FM/SSB 10-12m radio that has 9 watts PEP and will have a docking cradle for mobile applications. That's right; a hand-held 10-12m radio! This docking cradle will be able to access power from your vehicle and allow for an external antenna and to charge the radio's bettery. It will also boost power output up to 50 watts PEP with a small amplifier. This handheld's antenna will be capable of use on all 10 thru 12m bands. It will also be capable of European standard freq divisions too (e.g. - even numbers - 24.550 etc). Radio will be easily modifiable to include 11m as well. Radio has capability to do repeater offsets.
Sam Lewis will be sending me one to review.
Don't get your panties all bunched up laddies. I will have to send it back to him after I review it, as he is sending me the prototype unit.
This will be another FIRST on the WWRF . . .
Next, all Magnum 257's and OmegaForce S-45's are presently 'sold out' from the factory. They will be reissuing a newer version of both radios that will come with the new Toshiba CPU. This CPU will make these radios fully capable of 10-11-12m operation. There are a couple of other mods done to them as well; more info to come. These radios will not be available until after the first of the year - or later. I suspect this should put RCI back on their heels, as the Magnums will have a leg-up advantage. Due to the fact that they have built-in audio processing and the RCI's do not.
Finally, they are going to have a new line of radios that have new and many as yet unseen features offered.
More details to come very soon here on the WWRF . . .
