    Mckinley Arrived today

    Crazy yours also had a whacked clarifier control. Kinda makes one wonder if its a common problem on the current run of the radio. Not sure if i will try another one or not yet. Agreed qc is in the toilet it seems

    Electret Desk Mic for Anytone

    You are probably right BC. Likely they wont put one on the market until which time a base type radio is made. 73

    Electret Desk Mic for Anytone

    Does anyone know if Qixiang will ever produce a desk type mic that will pair up well with anytone or similar board radios? Maybe they will if they ever make and release a 5555n2 type base station radio. Anyone know if one exists ?

    Mobile Radio Mount - anti-vibration?

    Yep. Hard to fathom a mobile bracket with shocks. 2 plates with the right type of medium in the middle. Just kinda surprised there isnt anything already available. When it comes to anything mobile, no one is doing anti vibration / shock. Maybe one day on ali :)

    Mobile Radio Mount - anti-vibration?

    Mobile Radio Mount - anti-vibration?

    Just wondering if anyone has heard of or made a radio mount for mobile use that works well for vibration / shock. Maybe something or made with a material that works well ? I have used the split foam that is commonly used for wrapping pipes with some success (fit to the radio sides). I like to...
