Good radio. I got same band conditions in NY . Been back to back solar storms . I am getting lots of background static as well. S3 to S7 . threw out 10/11/12/15 /17 meters not as much on 20 meters but up gaing on 40 meters and S9 on 80/160 meters. 20 and 17 meters best band for me the past few weeks . I did get Brazil and outher south American countries. bands starting to improve . getting more skip on CB. just worked Texas on Ch 38 SSB. on stock radio. 73

Most prices are set by the manufacturer so you will find that is likely the case. I don't really concern myself with other vendors are doing. If a return policy is something you desire, then I would suggest purchasing from a business that you feel more comfortable with. I don't ever compete with giant online sellers. They are bad for small business. Remember my business is only for part-time purposes and not for full-time living. When I buy 10 meter radios, there is no return policy from my supplier sources. I accept this policy and gladly purchase radios to offer to my customers.

Nice radio. Wish it was easier for the UK 40 CB band. It is the offset they use that makes it hard. 60125 to 99125 . With a frequency display you can set it. but having the CH display follow along would be real nice. There's a few outher countries that have odd CB frequencies' as well. . I printed out a chart and laminated it to keep with radio. The 2781 UK CB band does skip over the the US from time to time. for me is winter months and early morning as sun rise to about noon ,Then DX window changes direction .Last winter the NY to UK was open 10/11/12 meters and like clockwork at times. worked same station same time every day for a month. I got Derbyshire,London,Manchester,Midlands ,Lockerbie Scotland and so much more last winter into spring. and the contacts wear made portable with end fed half wave set in a veritable ground mount. or my DX commander antenna . That gets me low take off angle for DX . Love all the colors you can select ! great looking radio. 73

He always said never run anything flat out, Back it off to at least 2/3rds and as for its other tuning information i have no idea, But it has always stuck with me, I have always wanted to have as good of a signal as he had, But not being a ham, I have in the past sufficed with cybernets etc, That was quite some time ago, Having seen your channel and what you do has regained some of my interest, I would like to have a radio with a really nice signal/audio, The new QT80 /Anytone666 seems like a good choice? Or do you have a better idea? Enjoy watching your channel, Tnx👍

I did not know about that 6 meter one. We have been getting 6 meters open in NY at times. Normally I run a end fed half wave I made mono band for 6 meters. works super well. Them end fed half wave perform better if you cut mono band and tune it. I do have one new in box . it's half wave veritable with a loop at bottom where coax goes in. And has a short counterpoise sticking straight down under coax connecter. Is new all parts and manual in box from hamfest. I think it is the ringo ranger one. Been awhile since I looked at it. I did try it out. works just like a half wave and did cover the whole band after lots of tuning. I use a VNA to tune. I put it away after moving. someday I put it up again. They have a 10/11/12 meter version of it. just longer . Maco has a 5/8 one with ground plain. I had that one. Maco changed ownership over the years. the Maco amps part went under. was the same some years ago. 73

Great job showing that distortion. Something that the cleaner signal still makes about same power. In my book you gain nothing and you lose signal quality on the receive side to the person hearing you. The cleaner signal wins. exspelly when down in the noise floor. Much easier to pull them out. Them old meters fooled buy distortion and make it look like lots more power going out. And look at splatter outside of the normal bandwidth . That is where the extra powers goes. not on the center of the channel you want it. That why I got my QT 60 tuned buy Scoot's Radios . I wanted it clean as it can be with in reason. Made lots of contacts all over in DX land. and just with stock radio . And I ger great audio reports. The signal may be low due to band conditions. But audio herd is good. That counts the most ! . I would never use that feature. But I do understand why some would use it. It is up to us how we operate the radio. 73
