Hello all. Just placed an order for the S9-80 turbo. Like to know from people what they like or dislike about the radio? Any special wiring conditions I need to meet? I already have some ham gear in the vehicle so my pwr comes directly from the battery. The antenna is roof mount Wilson 1000. Your comments appreicated. Thanks!

Sorry, never heard of an S-9-80 TURBO.

Do you happen to mean the:
Magnum S-9-80 W/Nitro Knobs
shown below?

Hello, ok great got the 636L and sounds great! I have another question since the knobs and all are still rather too bright for me, even with in low setting, is there a pot adjustment (if so, what is the ref.designator number on the board, and location) where I and turn down the brightness? Otherwise I like the radio, works great!

Midwess,

Sorry but after talking with Sam Lewis today his suggestion was to have a good tech add small resistors to lower the voltage / DIM the NITRO KNOBS.
