Frequency Tuning Step can be 10HZ, 100HZ, 100Khz,1MHzĥ. Big LCD displays frequency and all kinds of informationģ. The catch: without exception it is very easy to modify these transceivers and change them into an (illegal) CB radio.ġ.
Suddenly these radios are legal to sell, because ham radio operators may use any mode and generally don’t have to worry about power output restrictions. The trick some manufacturers use is to initially limit the frequency range to 28.000 – 29.700 MHz and advertise these radios as ham radio transceivers. Either the power output is too high, the frequency range is too wide, or some modes aren’t allowed. An export radio is basically a CB transceiver that can’t be sold legally in most countries. The AT-6666 best 10 meter cb radio is one of many so-called export radios. Last flaw: 5 KHz steps are too coarse for amateur use. This ruled out the possibility of finding the cause, let alone a fix. The most prominent one was the presence of unwanted mixer products up and down the carrier.ĬRT France, apparently very annoyed by my findings, refused to send a service manual.
When I reviewed the Superstar 6900N, which I still own and use, I ran into a few problems. Dubbed to become the successor of the AT-5555, I wondered if some flaws were fixed, or about to be fixed.
