This is a first look at the production version of the Yeticom Optima 12m, 11m, and 10m freeband radio. This radio was kindly sent over by Dave from Yeticom direct from the factory. The frequency coverage is 24.500 MHz - 29.999 MHz all mode. For further information please visit: http://www.survival-systems.com/yeticom/optima.html and keep your eye on http://www.transmission1.co.uk/ as we will be doing a full review in the next few weeks.

  • Magnum 257 / Albrecht. Good rig poor audio.

  • @skarols Yes, but this isn't an Magnum or Albrecht. It shares the same casing but inside is a completely different board revision. This particular radio is made in HK. Good audio on TX and RX

  • when can i get one of these mark2 new version ?

  • I plugged a Magnum S45HP original microphone with a great audio improvement. On your 8 pin plug solder on the: 1 White; 2 Brown; 3 Black; 4 Nothing; 5 Red; 6 Blue; 7 Shield. You also can adjust the AM and FM modulation separatly easily inside the rig (it's written "AM or FM mod" . The UP button works on the mic to change the channel but not the Down one. why ? I don't know...I didn't find the SSB power adjustment inside the radio...

  • if its so easy to get a ham licence why run ileagaly

  • Nice review Simon

  • nice review, looks a good radio 73 

  • Nice radio. 50 Watts is a good output. Nice

  • the optima currently uses the pcbx952r2 mother board ..which is very different from the mother board used in the Albrecht/magnum transceivers...lots more shielding.

    the transceiver can also scan the memories by pressing function then button four (LCR) something the Albrecht/magnums can not do. yeticomnz

  • yes we are looking at building a base version using the optima board

  • @MIKESSL100 A base version of this would be nice to see maybe using 479w?
