Re: magnum 257
the modulation on my old ss3900 dies when it warms up, its the one without the heatsink on the rear.
I'm thinking of replacing it with a magnum 257.

Re: magnum 257
Get a good one and the 257 is fine, unfortunately many suffer from reliability issues. New 3900's start at £140 which may be the way to go if you've got the Superstar frequency counter already - either that, or get the one you've got fixed, as when they're set-up right, they certainly get out well.
One thing to try with the 3900 - open the radio up and check all the screws that hold the circuit board in place are tight - if they're loose, it'll cause problems with the SSB mod.
Cheers
Gary
