    I just bought this radio, I love the fact that it has so many options. And it's super easy to open the 11 meter band. I'm hoping to have it in my big rig by the end of the week. I really enjoyed how you explained everything.

    These are great SSB radios, prefect size for all vehicles, if you buy from a CB shop, don’t let them charge you to convert, this function is done in the menu! Only thing I found on mine was it was wide open wattage wise on AM, turned it down to 10 watts with the power knob all the way up and it DK 10, swings to 50+

    The D104 didn't work well on my CRT 6900N (AT5555), so I went with the KPO Dynamic & KPO Power Mic.
    The Dyno works great on Ssb, and the Power for Am/Fm.
    Great radios those Q6's (CRT 9900 in Europe), will be my Summertime upgrade.

      @@Gator400 this a new cheap Chinese import so not an original by any means.
      Although I have a choice of microphones including a desk mic, I tend to use the original still, I have just drilled a larger hole into it, it was 2mm, it's 7.5mm now and picks up really good, I did the same with the M9 Microphone on the 9900. 407 Mcr 👋

    DTMF Is a repeater tone. The 10khz is the lasttwo numbers on your frequency for tuning, it probably can be set to 5 or 2.5 along with 10.
    Thanks for the review. I’m a driver that also has a ham license and was looking for a radio that would both 11 meters and the full 10 meter band.

      My question is, what's the power on the "cb" mode? All the output facts show 2watts to 65 watts. How are "normal" cb users going to know the FCC regulates them to 4?

    I'd leave the quad 6 as is. Woudn't let anyone touch it. It works fine stock, even the stock mic does what it is made for. As for 10 meter, almost no one uses 10 meter for it is silent most of the time. I have it set to cb. Great video. Keep em coming.

      Update on the Anytone? Or next video? As for the Anytone it's doing 50 watts right out the box. Not sure if I what to modify or eventually leave it stock and drive an amp with it. Next video will be tomorrow (Sunday) on a Stryker 955 power cord upgrade.

    • @jrichtruckincbtips
      @jrichtruckincbtips  2 года назад

      A lot depends on your antenna system and the terrain you're in. Here in the southeast, I've reached around 20 miles to a base station 5-10 is easy here.

      First check the SWR with an external meter, if that's good check the coax with a multi-meter, also check the coax connector on the back of the radio.

    I’m actually in the minority that still uses a PA. I looked at this radio. I see that it has a PA function, but I don’t see anywhere to actually connect the PA. The port in the back external speaker I believe is for the same external speaker. We always use to listen, but I don’t see one for PA talk

    It a ok starter radio for this kind of radio really basic you can program a bit more whith cord but still no where as much as a real ham radio
    I upgraded a few parts in side
    Reflowed most the of it joints
    As most of China made radio's
    Lots of cold joints
