HI all. I notice that on all the other Magnum Radios there is an option for "Expand, Align, Tune" for $30. However, the S-980 does not have that option. Am I to assume that this particular model already comes "Expanded, Aligned, and Tuned"? Or, is it that hti s particular cannot be tuned to 11 meters? Thinking about buying it, but need to know first. Thanks. |

It means the web master forgot to add the option on the product page.
I came across the same problem on another radio. It does need to be expanded, aligned and tuned for 27 MHz operation.

Romstar is correct. It's been fixed now.

OK. Next question (s).
Without any mods, what is the frequency range?
With the "Expanded, Aligned, and Tuned", what is the total frequency range/breakdown?
What, in theory, does "Expanded, Aligned, and Tuned" mean?
Thanks. |

Jameslarsen,
Without the purchasing the Option the Frequency coverage is:
CORRECTED
Programming Mode:
This feature allows the radio to be setup into 8 separate bands, each individually programmed to cover any 40 channel segments you choose between 25.165 - 30.555 MHz. For instance, if you wanted Bands A and B to be setup to cover 25.165 - 26.055 MHz, Band C to be the CB Band 26.965 - 27.405 MHz, then Bands D, E, and F to cover 10 Meters at 28.315 - 29.655 MHz, the “Programming Mode” can be used to set this up.
With the OPTION: Expand, Align and Tune the Copper Tech will do the following:
Here are the areas that we align.
• RX (Receive) alignment per manufacturer specifications
• TX (Transmit) alignment per manufacturer specifications
• PLL Synthesizer alignment per manufacturer specifications
Lon ~ Tech808 ~ N9CEF
CEF#808 ~ CEF HAM#33 ~ CVC#002
10-10 #61493 ~ 10-10 VP#2688

Or you could move the jumper yourself
Moderator Note!
Very true since Tech808 already has the conversion listed in the Magnum S-9 Mobile Radio Review for everyone and all they have to do is read the REVIEW.

I don't understand.
Band C says C - 26.165 ~ 28.605
Why would the other bands be needed if Band C covers it all and then some?
Moderator Note!
Because it was a typo and has been corrected in the post above, also if you read the Review it is correct in the Review. |
