Overview
A ten meter transceiver with digital noise reduction on both receive and transmit drives this AnyTone mobile radio. It runs FM, AM and sideband modes, takes CTCSS and DCS codes and programs from a PC.
Sideband and high FM output give it reach well beyond a basic mobile radio. Its body is large for a truck dash, and users must check the rules for this band themselves.
Who it's for
Drivers and hobbyists who tune, program and adjust gain will use its long feature list. Casual users wanting simple channel chatter may find it overbuilt.
Pros and cons
- High output on FM and SSB
- Digital noise reduction both ways
- PC programmable frequencies
- SWR and voltage protection
- Large for small cabs
- Licensing not addressed
- Not water resistant
Performance notes
Talk range depends on output power, mode and antenna match, and sideband concentrates power for longer contacts. SWR protection cuts power when the antenna is mismatched, so a tuned antenna decides real-world results.
