Cool 10m Mobile Radios - Magnum
S9
The Magnum S9 can be summed up
in one short word "FUN"!
We are a little skeptical of RF
Limited radios. There not built like the Connex radios, and don't
have as good as a name as the Galaxy stuff. But we've got one on the
"bench" and its FUN. Of course we've got two mics hooked up to it at
once. (Can be interesting!!) The turbo echo is about as long as it
gets, maximum annoyance factor here. 8 bands of channels, AM/FM/SSB,
and a cool round meter! The blue lights on the 6 digit freq counter,
blue light meter, and channel display are really neat and easy to
see. Variable power gets you easily matched up to any linear, and if
your not a fan of a linear?? Then the 45-55 clean audio WackPacked
watts TALK!
For people who are big fans of
RF Limited radios, this radios pretty cool.
However our main concern on
these is quality. Quality on this chassis is weird. if you open the
cover to a Magnum S9, or S6 they use some crazy non-traditional
methods in this radio. The crazy thing about the S9 is if you hear
one driving down the road you'll say it sounds good (if the tech did
good work) but we hate to rain on the popular parade, there's a lot
more hype about these radios then quality. Online dealers, and cb
shops love to brag this radio up a storm. Why?? You make a lot of
money when you sell one.
THAT'S WHY! Should you get
one??? Well if you like new- if you like lots of
features- if you get it
superwackpacked they talk great, we'd say Buy One.
But if your not so thrilled
with a ton of toys.........we'll just leave it up to you! But if you
work really hard for your $$, give us a call and we'll discuss this
with ya.
