Anybody hear anything about new releases of Magnums coming out this summer. Coming from rumorville I hear there supposed to be quite a few new models added to the RF Limited list.There is an S-6 which is going to be like an S-9 without ssb and then there is also speculation of an S-12 with 2-2290 transistors along with an S-8 or whatever. Any truth to this?

This is Information that I received from Sam Lewis Owner of RF Limited / Magnum International.

The Magnum S-6 AM/FM Radio is the Exact same radio as the S-9 without the SSB Feature.

Differences between the Galaxy 66 and the Magnum S-6.

#1 ~ S-6 has Large Round S/RF Meter instead of large rectangle meter.

#2 ~ S-6 has built in bridge for high VSWR indicator "flashing light" (switch on rear panel disables bridge) (Galaxy does not have the bridge).

#3 ~ S-6 has front mounted Microphone connector and "double barrel" connector located on right side of radio. Galaxy only has 1 side mounted microphone connector.

#4 ~ S-6 is programmable from 25.615 ~ 30.555MHz (8 bands, Galaxy has 8 bands 25.165 ~ 28.765 Not Programmable.

#5 ~ S-6 has single 8 position band switch. Galaxy has complicated 2-switch system.

#6 ~ S-6 has 6 digit Blue frequency counter with channel LED's. Galaxy has 5 digit green frequency counter ands channel LED's.

#7 ~ Both Galaxy and S6 have Variable LED dimmer controls.

#8 ~ S-6 Clarifier has 5KHz total excursion, Galaxy clarifier has 10KHz total excursion which confuses radio operator.

#9 ~ S-6 has Top Gun compressor/modulator; on AM power can be set at 1 watt and swing to 45 watts. Galaxy has no modulator and AM Power is 25 watts PEP. Both radios have Variable RF power control.

#10 ~ S-6 has Turbo Echo and All Mode Talkback. Galaxy has conex type echo and AM only feedback type talkback.

#11 ~ S-6 comes with Free "Old Glory" Patriotic front panel. Galaxy does not.

#12 ~ S-6 comes packed with Full Schematic and PLO (Parts Layout). Galaxy has No technical information shipped with radios.

Any functions not mentioned are the same in both radios.


Hope this help's,

NOW WE NEED YOUR HELP!

How many of the Copper Forum Members would be interested in buying this Magnum S-6 Radio?

We need to know if this would be an item that the Copper Forum Members would want Copper to carry.

I don't know how many on this forum would buy a radio without sideband, but I can tell you from experience the overall market for cb/export type radios could care less about sideband. Just give them the other options/toys they like, and it looks like this one has all of'em.
For truckers and others, I would bet it will be a good seller.

When Galaxy came out with the 66 I didn't think it would go over very well, especially at the price they were. I thought why would you need a big meter, freq counter and slider on an AM/FM radio, to go in a truck. But that thing was one of the most popular radios in my part of the country. Just my 3 cents worth. scrapiron

If Magnum made a newer model 150 watt rig I'd be first in line. AS far as the S-6 goes I wouldn't be interested ONLY because I already own an S-3.

Well not all Truckers are on the AM thing. However I had a 33 if you know what I mean. If I had a chance I'd of bought any radio that I could get SSB on.
I waited and I got the Omega Force S 45. I have made a few contacts, on 38 LSB and I did sort of connect with CEF 114. But the AM skip was awful. I did hear CEF 463, But My barefoot Mobile would not get through His Computer Noise.
Would I buy a radio Like the S 6. I also know Truckers would bend over and pick it up. However some would probably go out of band and mess around in Ham Band. Soap Box Off

They do...the magnum 357.

I was never impressed with the 357
All it was any way was a 257 (GREAT RADIO) with its own matched amp. I can do that, big deal!

If it does'nt have sideband I don't think many hams, freebanders and some cber's will go for it. I bet it would be a trucker favorite. Heck SSB is where most of the fun is. Why does it even go into the 10 meter band without sideband?

Hotwire .... your right ...

The problem the S-3 has is a AM radio on 10 meters ( except for 29.0-29.2) is like running CW on cb ch19. Fm mode works well but again was never set up to run as a usefull radio on 10 meters ( 29.600 ) with no offsets and no tone would have very limited use on FM and none at all on the repeaters.
The S-3 is a nice radio however using a channel selector and 10 khz spacing limits it to a EXPORT radio with very limited use as a ham rig.

Would I buy an S-6? It depends on the price. But I also like to have ssb. It's good to have all these choices. Magnum sounds like they are going to really compete with Galaxy by having many many different models.

The Magnum 257 is a lot of radio. I did the tune up as described on this site. Wish now I had done the conversion also. Modulation turned up from 65% to 100%, watts from about 7 to 10 1/2. One fine radio. It's getting harder and harder to justify the higher costing models of Magnum for me personally. But wow, all these fine radios!

Hey Bruce! Its strange, why WOULD Magnum put 10 meter in that radio without sideband? That would lower the price and I would surely consider a purchase. Like I was saying, bootleggers and drivers are the only ones who will consider buying this radio.I cant get over how worthless the radio is without sideband.

Hotwire ...

A GOOD am/fm 10 meter radio would have a legit use for the 10 meter ham. A radio for 10 would have to have 1 KHZ Tuneing, tone ( encode ) and offset for FM. Without these its useless.

The Magnum S-6 is designed for people who want or use AM/FM Only and want good power out and the extra features that they will use without having to add an amplifier.

Actually in the 30+ Years that the 1st Sargant and I have been in the radio business here in central illinois that equals about 90% of the customers we have had over the years.

The general over all sales of AM or AM/FM radios only radios have always been about 8 or 9 to 1 over units with SSB.

Ashtray

The S-3 ( and i owned one ) is a EXCELENT radio sounds GREAT on the air .......as will the S-6.
Now it sounds like you dont use am which is fine but many do ..... i realy like the way it sounds on 10 meters.
MY kinda negitive comments was as a 10 meter radio it was very limited as a EXPORT radio its one of the best. I sold the S-3 because it would not work on FM the way i needed it do do and was limited as a ham radio in how it covered frequencys. As a EXPORT radio Nothing beats a magnum ...... JUST MY OPINION.

BTW i have right now (3) HTX-10 and a MAG-257 ( STOCK ) love them on 10 meters

Mikefromms,

Sorry, I have not heard as Magnum has not even recceived them yet.

Figure maybe 40 or 50 less than an S-9?

I am just guessing on this as I have No Idea what the cost will be!

But, Copper will have the LOWEST Price on them.

I'd NEVER buy a "10 Meter radio" without SSB because that's mostly what use in the 10 Meter spectrum. AM and FM are fine, but most of the AM/FM "10 Meter radios" don't have frequency coverage into the AM/FM sub-bands anyway. Those that do don't have CTCSS or repeater offset ability to use FM repeaters.

Why even put 10 Meter coverage in AM/FM only radios if it doesn't have CTCSS and repeater offset ability? Make them stop at 28MHz when they're converted. The folks that buy the radios to use instead of CBs won't care, and it'll keep some of the less aware off of the 10 meter spectrum.

For that matter, why put 10 Meter coverage in the all mode radios if they don't have CTCSS and repeater offset capability? Make the "Expanded Mode" stop at 27.990 MHz and only allow 10 Meter coverage in a band by itself.

RF Limited / Magnum International should make a 10 Meter radio similar in function to the Uniden HR 2600 with a Chipswitch. That's what I run now, and I have 2 spares in case this fabulous radio ever gets damaged beyond repair. I can use them for 10/12 Meters, actually use it for tone protected repeaters (which describes nearly ALL 10 meter repeaters), FM simplex, AM, and SSB.

The only thing I really wish this radio had was a variable mic gain control instead of just a push button attenuator, a switchable/variable speech processor, and a way to change the CTCSS tone without taking the covers off the radio - perhaps a rotary switch on the front panel.

"most of the AM/FM "10 Meter radios" don't have frequency coverage into the AM/FM sub-bands anyway."

This is TRUE and a gripe of mine but if the EXPORT radio had good coverage and 5 khz spaceing it would be a fine 10 meter radio for at least AM use.
The same problem exsists for 6 meters NOT ALL REPEATERS ARE TONE on 10 or 6 but enough that a tone board is a good idea. Now i had a chipswitch lincoln with the 2sc2999 mod a ch guard and diode mods it worked great but MOST EXPORT radios are junk made for the CB croud some like the 257 are good entry level radios and very good mobles.

OK, HERES THE SCOOP Direct from Sam Lewis Owner Of RF Limited and Magnum International!

#1 ~ S-12 ~ 150 Watt Radio?

Sorry but NO just a Myth/Rumor someone started that had nothing better to do.

And there has NEVER been any plans to make any radio with 2-2290's.

This one really got Sam laughing and he wonders were people come up with this stuff.

#2 ~ S-8 Radio? Again NO!
Just another Myth/Rumor someone started that did not have anything better to do.

Sam figured that someone must have pulled this false information on a new S-8 and S-12 from somewhere on his or her lower body that I cannot mention on the Copper Forum.


#3 ~ DX Version of the S-3 / S-6 / S-9?

Yes, this is True but it will be a LONG time coming maybe in the middle or end of 2006.

The DX Version of the S-3 / S-6 / S-9 will be a High Power radio but will be in the 75 to 90 watt range. And probably MOSFET powered.

#4 ~ Sorry, but NO 150 watt radios are on the horizon or planned for production from Magnum International.

#5 ~ LIMITED EDITION NITRO EXPRESS S-9?

YES!

This radio will be a LIMITED EDITION! with the Factory installed Nitro Knobs with a Dimmer Control.

#6 ~ As soon as Sam gets one in it will be on it's way to me for a REVIEW for the Copper Forum Members!

#7 ~ The S-6 will only have a Coarse Clarifier (No Fine Clarifier) that will allow 2.5hz each side of center

NOW YOU HAVE ALL OF THE CORRECT INFORMATION DIRECT FROM SAM LEWIS!

I want that S-12....if I'm going to spend the $$ I want the whole deal. I'll wait one month, save my money and go for a radio that will do everything.

If magnum sells a radio that will do 150Watts that is made well and will last I will sell all my other radios and buy that sucker.

Brewdirect,

Some how you must have mis-read my post above.

There is NO such thing as a Magnum S-12 or S-8.

There are NO plans to manufacture new Magnum Radios that will do 150 watts.

I know there isn't an S-12 and that somebody made it up as an "example name" of what they "could" produce.

All I'm saying is that I "wish" they would produce it. The S-9 is a great radio, add more watts and it would crush everything!
