I know this has been posted many times over,but with radio's changing all the time and Iam in the market I would like some opinons. Iam looking for a radio to use as base and mobile, AM and SSB for under 300.00. I thought the Omega was the answer but RR has not gave a good review yet.I also was looking at the 2950 or even the Delta.I will be using AM 60% of the time. Any good opinions would appreciated.

Lets go this way if your a ham a 2950 or lincoln followed by the mag 257. If your not they would still be my choices but you can add dx-export radios None of the radios sold by copper is a bad set even the lowest priced ones work well enough for most peoples needs.

Just my 2 cents I bought a RCI 2950DX from Copper, In the begining of January and use it as my base radio. And WOOW what a nice radio. For under $300 bucks, you can not beat this price. And I know with the quality of RCI I could not go wrong. Also a 10 and a 12 meter rig. I had Copper add 11 meters because that is where my home channel is with the locals up here in NY. Go with 2950DX not the Mirage version because they are ••••, just because it is a little cheaper does not mean better. I use my 2950DX to talk all over the place up here in NY.And I don't even need the amp. So go with the 2950DX and get some sleep.

2950DX, Lincoln, Magnum 257 or Delta Force

Any of these would make a super base/mobile radio!
