It's just my nature.

There's a block user setting that works very well.

Good job Duster I appreciate your input.....

 

[Lil'Yeshua]

Of it weren't for Duster I wouldn't be as keen on things. By the way. I'm waiting for the post office to open to pick up my 8900

 

[Lil'Yeshua]

Just picked up my 8900. Haven't hooked it up yet.

Here's the CB RadioMagazine YouTube video for setting the radio for export band which includes 11 meters. Here's the procedure. With the radio off,hold down the Function and EMG buttons while you turn the radio on. Use the channel selector to select either the 1 or 2 band and I think you push the Function button again in which the radio will display END. Turn off radio and turn back on. Find it at 10:27 minutes into the video.

Anyone know where I can get the programming disc for this radio? I don't have a home Internet connection

 

[KD0TDG]

You have a good sized thumb drive you can download it to and then put on computer at home?

I've had the sofware on my computer for about 3 months already lol Now if I just had the radio!

Or a smart phone?

I got one. Just need to use library 's or a friend'. DTB had the roger beep tone nice but... I changed it. Trying to find that freq again The face plate sticker glue's not holding well. It just needs the right glue. It's tuned for 10 watts am carrier and 50 watts SSB

I don't remember if it was the CRE or another but I know I read or heard one of the newer exports had face plate glue issues. I wouldn't think with all the adhesives in the world that would be an issue anymore...but its trivial at best. Wattage sounds pretty decent

Mr. iPhone 5 doesn't download that type of file. Maybe some website that's compatible with iPhone

That's what happens when you don 't go through enough testing trying to get something to the market. I'd put it on with pop rivets if I had too.
