    Anytone Smart Radio

    I have the same radio. I get "loud and clear" responses with it. I don't care much for the receive on mine. Might just be me but it seems people a few miles back get staticy. BBB did you turn down your carrier to run a 2X4?

    How does Motormouth Maul get away with it?

    MMM's 96 ft long, 70 ft up in the air antenna, is PROOF that it's not how much power you're running....it's how good (or bad) of an antenna you are running. You could probably run 4 watts into MMM's antenna and STILL talk at least half way across the country, if not more. Perhaps one day...

    New retard on 38LSB: Audioman

    Better check again. There's other frequencies on ham with lids on them. 3.843, 14.275 and sometimes 7.200, come to mind. The good thing about ham is the excessive bandwidth. Thus when/if you hear a lid, spin the dial past them. "Don't cry, QSY" as we call it. Unfortunately the same cant be said...

    Article Exposing Outrageous Range Claims Of Consumer Frs/gmrs Radios.

    But if you're on water, or maybe in flat land Kansas, such claims could hold true. Marketing hype doesn't want you to know of the mass amounts of signal absorbing obstacles one faces in radio land. Good thing most of us know this, and can laugh at such claims. OTOH sad for those who don't.

    Yeticom Optima MK3 Mobile

    Yes I have a Yeticom Optima III. And I have yet to find a way to install in my mobile due to no room. Yet I cant bring myself to sell it.... One thing I noticed, is SSB seems to sound much lower of audio than AM.

    Tiny Anytone "Smart" CB radio

    I received one of these little radios for Christmas. So far I have received reports of "it's clear". I've contemplated in replacing the stock mic with an Astatic 575-M6 I have. I know I would have to hard wire it into the radio, and then add the channel change buttons.
