I run one on 10 meters in the car and when 10 is open the 25 watts does a good job. On 29.6 fm its as good as you will ever need and works well on the 29.0-.2 AM band and is OUTSTANDING on 28.360 SSB ..... Best $170 ive spent in a long time. |

Not only is Magnum doing all the right things, but they just repaired my Omega Force S-45 under warrenty even though the warrenty was well expired. How cool is that? For me it's Magnum or nothing from now on. My hats off to Sam Lewis and the Great Radio Company called Magnum!!! Cheers |
