These are the circumstances around me here in cambridge, im sure mileage may vary in differing area's. On a weekly basis, there is around 12 of us that use ukfm for a chinwag, 5 of those 12 are less than 30, of the remaining the eldest is retired, us others are between 40 and 48. If the cable does anything near what the dx 5000 could do with it then there is no way you would not want it. The RF power control sets the power for each mode. So when you reduce the power on FM for example, the power for SSB and AM will also be reduced. There's no way to set the output for each mode independently. I will probaly us it mainly FM when in convoy with others so low power but will hopefully try some DX on SSB.

Thanks for your advice. Think I am going to get one....quite like the idea of a new radio instead of my old used radios which keep failing Pop over to our mate Del's he's got the perfect chart for you there. You'll notice there are some anomalies in the frequencies for historic reasons. Would i buy another CRT radio ? Hell yes i would, but and this is the caveat, i would buy it from the same dealer that replaced mine. No matter if it were more expensive or not infact they were not the cheapest on the 7900 at the time.A basic compact multi-standard radio - ideal for mobile use where you don't want all the extra features. Whilst I'm no fan of the freebander crowd, at least I can concede to the fact they actually buy some decent gear at times - vs the endless cycle of fake-retro con stuff fed to the CB market. Hell, one example alone will give you two 'CB' segments and PMR446 TxRx capability in one box plus a lot in between you'd more likely listen to out of curiosity, like coastguard and maritime VHF and in one instance, full VHF aviation coverage. How does the power adjust? Is it seperate adjustment for each modes? So run at max on SSB and low on FM/AM I guess is the best thing to do.

I find the SSB RX audio cleaner on the 6666 than on the 135. To me the 135 sounded a little raspy. I say "sounded" as I had both radio's at the same time and decided to sell one of them. I personally thought the CRT 9900 (same as 6666) was the better radio so the 135 went. The 6666 feels like a more solidly built radio too. Now do i think that CRT is a carp company ? Well given that my one radio is sounding like this its easy to spout on about how they make carp and dont buy one. Its easy to say crt are turning out rubbish, its easy to say crt are damaging their profits and reputation. I wont however, because the dealer and hats of to them identified the issue on their radios' and im very greatful that they replaced it with a CRT 9900. This CRT 9900 does not suffer from the same issue and is in fact a great little radio. The radio has only the basic controls you need: volume, squelch and channel change. There is also a preset "auto-squelch". I see your point now the only one missing off mine off that list is band A Super Super low band so I will program that over one of the 11/12m bands , cheersPower / Signal Strength / SWR indication + Numéric indication for SWR value + Power supply DC displaying If your just rag chewing local or dx ing when its really going either will do a fine job and the better receive of the lincoln you probaby wont notice.

New on Version 4: On version 4 you have also band K (24.885 - 25.365 MHz) and band L (25.375 - 25.605 MHz) Controls are kept to a minimum on the radio, but through the various menu options you can make many adjustments to the radio to optimise it's performance. Sounds like the SS9900 / AT6666 is the radio to get then. Do I need the programming cable? I'm not really into computers/programming so unless its something I need to learn should I give it a miss? What's gained from cable? Thanks for your help Bands G-L on your radio are allocated to the 12 & 10 meter Ham bands unless licenced you can't use them anyway. They are not on the list because its a list of the most commonly used 11 meter frequencies.

SS9900 review

The receive on the lincoln is better than than the 9900, not the sound the 9900 does sound better, but if your trying to make sense of stuff coming in on the noise floor the lincoln will do a better job. I have both and use both, the lincoln i use when trying to get long distance groundwave or static mobile the features of the lincoln are more useful to me. fully illuminated and voltage display. Yes the 9900 has voltage display but its not very accurate and it only shows voltage at full draw ie transmitting. Have to say the lincoln voltage display isnt very accurate either but its nearer than the 9900 and shows voltage at low draw, this just makes it easier to monitor battery levels while out. A new version of the CRT 2000 listed above. There are 2 differences with this model compared to the one above: I am actually in the situation that I try to choose between 9900 and 6900N (ver. 6) . If I understand correct I would not actually want to run any of the radio`s on max,the only difference is looks (maybe an outside usb on the 9900?),and the ctcss/dcs in the 9900 and not in 6900N..(?) The weird thing is that at the moment I could get the 9900 a bit cheeper than the 6900N,but what bothers me a bit is that I like the looks of the 6900N the best.. I think. Which is best.. The constant VFO at first i didnt think i would get on with but i have grown to actually prefer it. I can move from T5 to the mids with ease and ukfm is on memory but without channel indicator. 9900 you can program how you like, you just have to press the band button to change. To be honest the only ones you are likely to find C.B. activity are The Mid band 26965 - 27405. The Uk40 2760125 - 2799125 and the High band 27415 - 27855. The SSB calling channel is 27555. Call then QSY up or down a bit. Just for info the "High band" is outside of the legal U.K. C.B. allocation but very commonly used anyway.

This has the advantage that it can be viewed from any angle, whereas LCD displays become faint when viewed at some angles (particularly from below). Here is a link of my first CRT radio with what i can only describe as someone keying up next to a tractor engine right on 27.555, the video sound doesnt do the problem justice to be fair it was worse when trying to listen with it.
