I'm some issues with mine. My recieve and transmit seem fall off dramatically about two miles out from my base. I'm using it as a base station. With my previous base radio, a President Andy, I get ten miles easy

Have you tried it out on the 10 and 12m bands? I don't need it for 11m as I already have a cb. I'm looking at this for a cheap way to get on hf. Thank you for your reply.

I seen your post on the FB group and now here. I have not used this radio for ham bands. All the bands are there including UK band, but I only use CB band. There are options in the regular menu for setting tones, but never tried them or seen any info on this. These radios are brand new this year and not much info.

I wouldn't use this radio for anything besides 11 meters. The vast majority of action for voice modes on either 10 or 12 meters is SSB, and this radio doesn't do SSB. Not much going on with AM on those bands. You could work some FM simplex, but working any repeaters on 10m would result in very low audio because this model maxes at at 2kHz on FM deviation - just not enough for repeater work - you really need 3-4kHz for repeater work.

There is still quite a bit of AM traffic on 10 meter when the band is open I listen when I can...

Is there an adapter that can be used with this radio for an Astatic 636L or Road devil mics?

From what I have researched, the 6 pin to 4 pin adapter for the Bearcat 880 or 980works on this radio, but I never tried it.

@@JohnnyMullet I can confirm that the Uniden adapter does indeed work. Also the power mod settings on the radio that have been floating around are not correct - this radio cannot achieve 100% modulation on any dead carrier setting above 5.5 watts on AM, so regardless of what mic is used, they're bad settings. I'm currently tinkering with it to see what it can really do.

@@JohnnyMullet Still playing around with it - but I can confirm anything above a 6 watt dead carrier on AM is useless - average power starts swinging backwards on meters above that, and even though PEP is still going forward - that's bad for the radio and other operators will start telling you that your signal is swinging backwards when you talk. Makes no difference what the modulation is set at, either.
