Anyone know (1)if it's possible to get a 'Back-Lighted Front Panel for the Superstar SS-158 EDX? (2) How does the 'RF Limited XTR-2018 Xtreme Echo Mic work on the 'Superstar SS-158 EDX 10 Meter SSB Mobile Radio? Plus, (3) Does Sparky have one of 'his' amps that push the Superstar SS-158?
Thank you for your input...

the 2018 works great, I just didn't use the echo on the mic, great sounding mic,

1) Anything is possible, depending on how fat your wallet is. Possible doesn't always mean feasible or econmical.

2) The 2018 would be a good choice for that radio

3) I wouldn't reccomend pushing any amp into a radio but I'm sure Sparky carries something for the 158 to push into

I'll add this from my own experience.....IF you do get an amp to run with you SS 158EDX do not plan on using the pre-amp if the amp comes with one......For some reason(Al can explain)The Mosfet finals will make your recieve hang on the radio if a pre-amp is being used.....Thats my experience with this radio and a TS-399. But all works well if the pre-amp is off.
