Magnum Raptor 10 Meter AM Export Radio Review

The Magnum Raptor II is a combination microprocessor and phase-lock loop (PLL) controlled radio combining both high RF performance with a user-friendly front panel. The Magnum Raptor is built rugged to withstand years of use in harsh mobile environments. Although engineered with mobile use in mind the Magnum Raptor, with the addition of a high quality, properly sized regulated power supply, may be easily adapted to fixed station operation.

The Raptor features an exclusive dual power system that allows quick and easy adjustment of the radios carrier and peak RF output power. This is a very useful feature when switching between operating and not operating an external amplifier.

The CARRIER LOW – HIGH: Adjusts the RF output power on FM and the carrier only on AM. In the LOW position the carrier level will be 2 watts. In the HIGH position the carrier level will be 15 watts.

The PEAK LOW – HIGH: Adjusts the peak RF output power (modulated power) on AM only. In the LOW position the peak power will be 25 watts PEP. In the HIGH position the peak power will be 80 watts PEP.
