The incredibly popular tri-band Magnum1 that covers 12-10m seems to be next on the list for those who need a little more power. The idea is to fit the bottom from the Ranger RCI-69FFB4 which at a whopping $574 consists of 4x2SC2879 pills which can drive the radio to 500 watts as mentioned before. I’m not sure which mode? Maybe AM/SSB but not known 100%
There is insane and there is really insane. Incredibly priced but can see that some competition operators will have a go at it. Already in Germany there is the Naya edition of the Magnum1 with better noise blanking, better and non erratic signal meter behaviour and almost 100w SSB. Maybe we’ll have a video here soon of some of the modifications. They also include talkback replaced with 1-6.3Khz audio on FM.

I’m interested in the Magnum1 without the amp. I’m disabled and low income. Can you donate one to me?
I’m in Europe and you in Kansas so it would cost you all import duties and taxes. Plus like you I am a user, not a store so just have one Magnum1 radio and it’s in use here.
I received this email from Magnum Radios just over a month ago, I think it might be interesting to your followers,
We are working with Maxlog on several new radios. We do plan on a lower priced am/fm radio at 40 watts and 90 watts, maybe 150 watt would be good. I’ll let you know about any new items.
Here is a review of the Magnum1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4bp5LSSnWo
This is a new version of the 8800 Maxlog radio. Great feedback on the SSB stability with TCXO and RX performance.
