    modern 10M SSB radios/mics and vehicle noise (sound)

    getting back into the hobby. WOOT solar cycle! *ahem my brothers both own JK Jeeps. they are probably going to take my advice when it comes to radios. i want them to get SSB radios. road/wind noise in these Jeeps with soft tops is a major factor. are newer radios/mics such as the President...

    Anytone at-5555n II (version 2)

    read the entire thread. appreciate all y'all sharing your experiences. :) i like the size, and 6 pin mic connector of the AT-6666. the RJ-45 mic connector kinda urks me. however i don't like the heat sink on the AT-6666 near the PL-259 connector. looks like it would be a PITA to...
