Dale,

Just look to the LEFT of the forum here and you will see:

Tools
Mic. Wiring
Frequency Chart
CB & Ham Lingo
Modification List


Just CLICK on Modification List

I have most of the Tuneup Information on the 257 radios built BEFORE 10/2004 and AFTER 10/2004 listed there under (MAGNUM/RF LIMITED).

Hope this helps,

Lon

Does anyone know what I would adjust to center my clarifier. I have to turn the clarifier to about 1030 to tx center freq?

The hex shape of the spline makes it impossible to center the knob to the center position when the radio is tuned properly. Best just get used to it.

Hey Lon? Do you know or could you please tell me what pot to turn to change the tx freq? The Rx is dead on, the tx is 285hz high.
