IDK, who?

Got the MaxLog 8800 Ver 8 a few days ago, really works well, most things are adjustable with the menu through the function button, stays dead on frequency cold or hot, does 40+ watts on SSB adjustable dead key for AM on the front, actually I only took off the covers to see what it was like inside didn't touch a thing. I've still got 2 more for sale if anyone is interested

That is still one butt ugly radio.

 

[Tucker442]

yea but it works a ton better than the first one I had. Between the channel selector and the clarifier it's like having a VFO

Why not just get a rig that has an actual vfo? Not being funny I just don't see the value in these types of rigs.

If you are only going to use it on 11 meters the price can't be beat.

I don't mind the looks of it. They look kind of like the newer cobra 29 lx models. I have seen much uglier! How they work and how well they work is what I like or would like. Not a big fan of echo, but on am sometimes it helps with making out who is who. Anyway, PM sent your way Tucker442. Thanks for the updates and keep them coming. God bless.

I really get a bit miffed when someone shows a YouTube video and doens't say anything like what are those loose wires for? None of the Version 8 ones I have have any loose wires like that. I thought it might have something to do with a mod for the vfo but the guy says nothing. Speak up big boy and share what your doing.

ya, I thought id was a good mod,, but cant find any instructions, just that video... I was thingking maybe they just swapped the wiring from the clarifier pot and the channel pot?? maybe the added length of wire was to run back to the clarifier pot.

 

[Tucker442]

That would be great if the guy said something about it. Kind of like a naked lady standing in front of you telling you don't touch LOL like a tease
