I have a small vehicle that i want to put a radio in... I have a 2950 but it is to big. Im looking for a radio that is stable on ssb and of smaller size.... any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. I was looking at the magnum 257hp but would like to know more about it before i spend $200+ on it......thx |

I have an older 257 Non-HP. It's It's very stable on SSB. A close second to the 2950's.

The 257hp is a great little radio, I have one and don't take up a lot of room.
just hook it up to a good antenna and your set.
I had mind hooked up to a 4 element beam and a Wilson 1000 on my SUV back in 05 and it did good for me.
Good Luck in your choice.

SilverBullet516,
I own 4 of the Magnum 257s one amber displays and 2 of the Blue displays then I got the 257HP. I can tell you the compact size is great it's just a little bigger than the Uniden PC122XL that I had and that's just from the heat sink on the back side. A lot of options and in my own opinion a great price. Oh and performance... I Love it. Probably one of the better choices that I have ever made as far as radios go. I have a Galaxy and well let's just say it is way too big for an Acura... Cars now days just don't have the space for a radio that size. So I guess you could say I recommend the Magnum 257.
