[cbrepairguy]

@tom519az It would ship for about $8.00

I see some 10m backpacking in my future. That is, if we get some damn sunspots! I have done a lot of work on 10m with under 5w and small antennas. If we get the solar activity, then I foresee that it should work out in the field, albeit, with a better antenna than the rubber-ducky.

[cbrepairguy]

@kc8ntp I think your right, with the proper conditions and antenna this might be fun..

[fordbroncodave]

i have been waiting for a full featured handheld for my job and this might be it. what is the price tag?

[cbrepairguy]

@fordbroncodave $229.95 all set up and ready to go..

[nistru78]

I want to buy this transceiver! How much will cost this full package? How much shipping to Moldova?

Can you tell me how meany battiers are in a Cherokee AH-100 I Googled the radio and found this see that you work on them please tell me how meany are in it and if you can repair the pack of the Cherokee AH-100 Iam a ham going to use it on 10 meters had this for years used it 1 time when I got found it in a box the pack doesnt hold much of a charge now how much to repair the pack if I cant find the time to. Thanks Marvin KD0JCW

[blue9z]

I whish it had CW mode to.

[blue9z]

9 batteries :)

[cobra395]

is this radio fcc type accepted?

[yinglyca]

and the radio takes 9 aa batteries not 10

[yinglyca]

you really dont have to unsolder the pads to get the radio to do basic 11 meters..

ill post a video at a later time on how to do this.

First off, the radio will run to full power with 10 cells of NiCad, this is 12 volts and the radio runs on 8 volts by way of a regulator, the final transistors run on B+

Anything above about 9 volts and below 15 volts is good.

This is almost the same as the cherokee AH-100.

Remove the battery pack and provide 15 volts REGULATED, and you can hit over 12 watts, 15 volts is the absolute maximum! the caps are all rated 15 volts or less.

So, if one were to rebuild the battery pack to do 14.2 volts?

[weazlechin]

dont use nimh or nicad batteries (1.2v) get 1.5 volt ones. the rechargables are underdriving the radio

[kc2vso]

this radio is not fcc aproved dont buy it trust me...

[d1g1man]

This would be perfect for QRP PSK31. I would run battery/solar on a mountaintop into a dipole with a 35 watt amplifier. My netbook, fldigi and signalink will tie in nicely to this little gem!

very good job on the review... but why not use a camera tripod instead of using your one hand.........guess u dont have a tripod

[terihanright]

How do I turn off the annoying beep ?

[34ab138]

ive already got a cherokee ah-100 and albrecht ae-201s. would you say these 1012's are better or not as good?? also does this not go on 12m like the dragon ss-301??

[41HN3800]

Is the Magnum 1012 compatable with New Zealand CB frequencies bandplan i.e. Ch.1 =  26.330 ~ Ch.35 = 26.720 ~ Ch.40 = 26.770 ?

[m0ogy]

A very top review........looks a top product for sure 10/10 Magnum

[strumem90]

that looks EXACTLY like my Radio Shack TRC232....

[mrgoodvibrations]

Doesn't it have more freqs. than the modded Cherokee? Nice little feature packed handheld CB/ham thanks for showing it off! BTW you didn't do to shabby a job videoing this considering you did it one handed mostly......lol.
