Hi everyone, Im trying to decide on a small radio for my truck since the 2950 I have is just too big. Ive been looking at the Magnum 257 but was wondering if there was any other small radios I could consider. Thank you for your help.

Please dont be mad Pat but I'm going to try a Galaxy 979, it was cheap and If I dont like it I'll sell it to one of the Galaxy lovin locals. I will get a magnum 257 but I dont want to be without a radio until next year.

Actually, the PC-122 & 122XL do have SSB. I'm working on fixing up a PC-122 to go in my little Suzuki truck. It's the smallest 40 channel AM/SSB radio I've found yet. Right now I'm searching for a source for a UDP2816 for it, so I can have a jump-able chip in it.
