Me neither pal, spec sheet that is in the box along with the guarantee card with the new 60w one states that they were made & sold by...


M & P elettronica , Via Altamura 9 , 4100 Modena, Italy.


Either way both are extra coin as i am going to sell them on Ebay same goes for the Multimode 2 next time it is £1 maximum final value fee offer weekend, hopefully it will fetch somewhere near the same price as this one that the loons bidded up that did'nt look to have the original bracket with it either....

A 60w amp is a bit unusual but still all good finds at that price,I bought 3 rigs off a local gumtree seller recently for a tenner each. she was clearing out her late fathers workshop and got messed around by the usual bellends when she advertised the first one which seemed to be not working. I bought the other 3 as they've been unearthed and they've all been spot on. She's happy that they've gone to somebody who appreciates them and i'm happy to take a chance for that money instead of the usual "unable to test" on Ebay when they know its rubber ducked.

Bought 3 of those Chinese radio brackets off ebay, the ones for Cobra 29's etc. I'd been watching them for months but saw the price had gone up £2 each all of a sudden for some reason (exchange rate change?). I found an ad ending sooner at the original price and got 3 while I still could. They fit my Stalker 9f-dx perfectly.

Hi Sammy.

Yes, the 146 is the same size as the McKinley so these brackets will fit perfectly.

The only thing I'll say "negative" about them, is they perhaps don't stick up as far as some may like, so there's not a lot of clearance between the radio and the bracket itself like some original brackets may have. Otherwise, they're not bad quality and the finish is good.

McKinley is 18.5cm wide,so the brackets will easy fit.
