The radio can also be supplied "expanded" for use on 10m & 11m and covers approx 25-30MHz in this mode. When expanded the output power is selectable from 4W/10W/40W on FM and 4W/10W on AM. VFO frequency mode continuous from 28.000 to 29.700 MHz (Standard) or 24.880 to 30.000 MHz (expanded) Whilst I'm no fan of the freebander crowd, at least I can concede to the fact they actually buy some decent gear at times - vs the endless cycle of fake-retro con stuff fed to the CB market. Hell, one example alone will give you two 'CB' segments and PMR446 TxRx capability in one box plus a lot in between you'd more likely listen to out of curiosity, like coastguard and maritime VHF and in one instance, full VHF aviation coverage. I will probaly us it mainly FM when in convoy with others so low power but will hopefully try some DX on SSB. Controls are kept to a minimum on the radio, but through the various menu options you can make many adjustments to the radio to optimise it's performance.

Like all the latest radios, this is a multi-standard radio so that it can be used in both the UK and most European countries. In the UK it covers all 80 legal FM channels, when use in other European countries it is also capable of operating on AM. Bands G-L on your radio are allocated to the 12 & 10 meter Ham bands unless licenced you can't use them anyway. They are not on the list because its a list of the most commonly used 11 meter frequencies.

I find the SSB RX audio cleaner on the 6666 than on the 135. To me the 135 sounded a little raspy. I say "sounded" as I had both radio's at the same time and decided to sell one of them. I personally thought the CRT 9900 (same as 6666) was the better radio so the 135 went. The 6666 feels like a more solidly built radio too. The radio has only the basic controls you need: volume, squelch and channel change. There is also a preset "auto-squelch".

High power mobile & desktop transceiver for the 28 MHz or expanded 25-30 MHz band. Up-to 15W AM, 45W FM and 60Watts SSB. CTCSS / DCS selective calling, scan, echo function, SWR protection, PC programmable. To be honest the only ones you are likely to find C.B. activity are The Mid band 26965 - 27405. The Uk40 2760125 - 2799125 and the High band 27415 - 27855. The SSB calling channel is 27555. Call then QSY up or down a bit. Just for info the "High band" is outside of the legal U.K. C.B. allocation but very commonly used anyway.The channel display is a blue LED, rather than the more common LCD display. This has the advantage that it can be viewed from any angle, whereas LCD displays become faint when viewed at some angles (particularly from below).

It helps a little bit but not the list dealers are preprograming the ss9900 to. cheers If your just rag chewing local or dx ing when its really going either will do a fine job and the better receive of the lincoln you probaby wont notice.A basic compact multi-standard radio - ideal for mobile use where you don't want all the extra features. The microphone has a 4 pin plug on it and does not have channel change buttons on it (which some customers like but others say they catch them by mistake).
