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. 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).

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. 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. 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. 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

Video SUPERSTAR SS-9900

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.

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. 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.

0478 649000

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 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 radio can also be supplied "expanded" for use on 10m & 11m and covers approx 25-30MHz in this mode. When expanded the output power is selectable from 4W/10W/40W on FM and 4W/10W on AM. 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.Like all the latest radios, this is a multi-standard radio so that it can be used in both the UK and most European countries. In the UK it covers all 80 legal FM channels, when use in other European countries it is also capable of operating on AM. 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. If the cable does anything near what the dx 5000 could do with it then there is no way you would not want it. 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.
