I'd definitely rather have a 2995dx over the saturn turbo or 2990.

Copper will do the mod for you if you select the convert and tune option when you purchase, but it's not hard to convert yourself--it comes with a little module that needs to be plugged in, that's all.

Hmm,I was led to believe that they only had one,pardon me,as I have never had one open to look at,man,did I make a mistake,I shoulda bought a 2995dx,a couple of diplexers and 2 TSdx1600s,HOLEE,but then I'd have to put in a 200 amp service,oh well,I'll just stick with my puny dx2517.

Wayne,

The Stonewall Jaskson Base Radio is not new.

Yes it is the same as the Saturn Turbo and 2990DX models.

Very good radio.

CEF #225 Bluebird & CEF #166 Corn Cob both have them and use them, I set them up and both have had NO Problem's in the last 1 1/2 years.

They are Imported into the US as an EXPORT 10 Meter Radio.

For the same money I suggest getting a 2995DX with Far More Feature's and 12 Meter's and you will have a Good Warranty.

See Link Below.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Tech 808 I think the 2995DX is a great raido, At my location there is only one dealer who has that raido,I have gotten some raido equipment from that dealer,spent over $2,500.00 but the owner is a very rude person,when I stop by to ask questons about that raido and when I bought a RCI 6900FTB and had trouble out of it after having it about 9 months and he was very rude about repair. So I think I will try Copper Electronics. It might take a while but I think I will get better service. Thanks for the info. Oh yea I am sending the RCI back to factory,with no help from him.

Wayne,

Depending on the size of the Power Supply you have I would suggest the Ranger 2970DX. It will give you 10/11/12 Meter's after Tune up and Conversion. And a Two Year Warranty.
