Magnum radios

Negative. Magnum has discontinued the * S * series radios. The factory they were using changed their manufacturing plan not to the satisfaction of Magnum. They then contracted a different manufacturer. This process is now underway. There will be new model lines coming this year and next, some based on the raptor board. There will be some lag time in availability now and then due to the new facility getting to full capacity.

The shop you visited is either ignorant or ill informed. This information I pass along is directly from the owner of Magnum.

 

I can't blame Sam for looking for another company to manufacture his radios after all the problems with the last rum of 257HP and Omega Force radios.Personally I'd like to see him dump the Raptor line and re-release an updated version of the AR-3500.

 

I liked the ar 3300 as in appearance, would like that as well.
The omegas and 257s, even raptors have had their issues. Then again I've noticed EVERYONE having more DOA and defects since the china onslaught. Hard to believe the labor savings and the cheap parts savings really outweigh the 100% + increase in warranty repairs... but that's just MHO

 

So what will happen if you have a Magnum radio and it starts giving you fits?

 

Do yourself a favor and buy a ranger or connex

 

Interesting but the 257 I have just like my HTX-10 has never had any problems ..

 

You call Magnum, actually speak to the owner of the company, and it gets taken care of.
Of all manufacturers, Magnum and Galaxy have the best customer service bar none. That's 30 years of dealing with defective radios experience.

 

Yep back 35 years ago I worked for a local 2 way shop nothing beats talking to the tech/owner ....
