A new version of the CRT 2000 listed above. There are 2 differences with this model compared to the one above: 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.

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. These are the circumstances around me here in cambridge, im sure mileage may vary in differing area's. On a weekly basis, there is around 12 of us that use ukfm for a chinwag, 5 of those 12 are less than 30, of the remaining the eldest is retired, us others are between 40 and 48.GaryWilson wrote: antenna1 wrote: Thanks for the link but that list does not line up with mine e.g on mine band A is UK cb and what is on band A on that list is not on my radio then band G TO L are missing on that list to. It helps a little bit but not the list dealers are preprograming the ss9900 to. cheers Thanks for your advice. Think I am going to get one....quite like the idea of a new radio instead of my old used radios which keep failing 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. antenna1 wrote: Thanks for the link but that list does not line up with mine e.g on mine band A is UK cb and what is on band A on that list is not on my radio then band G TO L are missing on that list to.

They are not on the list because its a list of the most commonly used 11 meter frequencies.

The receive on the lincoln is better than than the 9900, not the sound the 9900 does sound better, but if your trying to make sense of stuff coming in on the noise floor the lincoln will do a better job. I have both and use both, the lincoln i use when trying to get long distance groundwave or static mobile the features of the lincoln are more useful to me. fully illuminated and voltage display. Yes the 9900 has voltage display but its not very accurate and it only shows voltage at full draw ie transmitting. Have to say the lincoln voltage display isnt very accurate either but its nearer than the 9900 and shows voltage at low draw, this just makes it easier to monitor battery levels while out. How does the power adjust? Is it seperate adjustment for each modes? So run at max on SSB and low on FM/AM I guess is the best thing to do.This software will work on many of the radios that are sold under different names, such as the kPo DX-5000 (not the DX-5000+) andMaas DX-5000.
