hey cbmagman , thanks again for all the work and time you put into your site to share your results with us 
have you had time to compare the am and ssb audio quality of the 8900 to the am and ssb audio quality of a 2950dx and a magnum 45 or 257 ?
what your opinion if you have ?
thanks

Mobile ANL/NB
How is the ANL/NB in this radio. I have an older Magnum 257 (yellow) with great receive for base station use but once mobile, it picks up a ton of vehicle and environmental noise and the ANL/NB doesn't cut enough of it out... that's why I'm not getting another 257 for mobile use. I am so tempted to order this radio... should I?... Should I do it?

Nice DIN rig. Sure I'd like to have one. Got a similar Alpha 10 Max AM 1000 for now. The 8900 Doesn't appear to be a big AM swinger as noted on the review (10-20w)
If you can fit it and afford it, hold out for the Stryker SR-955HP. Great performer on all modes and has a VFO. Did I mention it has a high cut switch that really works? Yes sir.
It's really cool that they keep coming out with new and interesting rigs but my wallet keeps getting lighter :drool:

I believe you can make adjustments via the menu software. Hold down the func button while powering on - then press rb, nb/anl, dw in order and it should take you into a function menu.
If will show some numbers by mode (AM,LSB,USB) and you can adj the freq by turning the channel knob. The numbers are arbitrary so make sure you mark down your starting point and then adjust up or down from there.
I messed around with this one day a while back so I think this is correct but I can't make any guarantees.

vfo is a variable frequency oscillator.
a high cut switch is a tone switch which cuts treble (high frequencies) leaving a more bassy sound. same as tone high/low but with a fancy name. its basically an audio filter.
