The "Magic" in any radio is who was "Inside" it.......Find a dealer you can trust ,then ask questions on what he sells and what he does to them.....

If they sell Connex,they must have a good rep with both customers and the factory.same with galaxy or Magnum.....

You can find everything on the "NET" BUT getting it tuned and serviced are a different story,........good luck with your decision.......

Snoope..

p.s. I currently run a Magnum S-3 in the "Mack Office" ( gets cleaned and bench checked once a year BUT that is all since purchased 3 years ago)..and it replaced a Superstar 3900 GHP ( still have.....cheap price but what an animal for rx/tx)...
