I bought a "blue light" magnum 257 in December 2004. At the time it
was advertised as having a "top gun" modulator. Apparently this was
in error, 'cause the ad was quietly changed to "sp-1 compressor". I
decided to keep it anyway because it is a really pretty radio. It
also works very good. It is so simple to modify and tune up. Just
alittle research on the 'puter is all it took. I don't think the
compressor adds a whole lot. My magnum is mated to a kl500 linear
amplifier which puts out a full 300w am and it works flawlessly.
Don't spend more than $169. They are also quite compact, it's fits
nicely in my import car. You will like it.


I like to get on 10m and jam the **** out of those faggot ham op's.
hehehehe. They are so jealous of me.

Can anyone report on how well the compressor works? Does it sound
"processed"? How many dB's more do you get with it?
