About this deal

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. 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.

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.. High power mobile & desktop transceiver for the 28 MHz or expanded 25-30 MHz band. Up-to 15W AM, 45W FM and 60Watts SSB. CTCSS / DCS selective calling, scan, echo function, SWR protection, PC programmable. 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. VFO frequency mode continuous from 28.000 to 29.700 MHz (Standard) or 24.880 to 30.000 MHz (expanded)The microphone has a 4 pin plug on it and does not have channel change buttons on it (which some customers like but others say they catch them by mistake). A basic compact multi-standard radio - ideal for mobile use where you don't want all the extra features. 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 radio has only the basic controls you need: volume, squelch and channel change. There is also a preset "auto-squelch".

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. 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. 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.This software will work on many of the radios that are sold under different names, such as the kPo DX-5000 (not the DX-5000+) andMaas DX-5000. I will probaly us it mainly FM when in convoy with others so low power but will hopefully try some DX on SSB.

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) The channel display is a blue LED, rather than the more common LCD display. 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). 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 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.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. 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.
