Anytone AT 5555N II (1730 miles) Skip in SSB and FM with 724 Chicago, SSB 214 Australia. 

Yeah, much better sound for base station setup. Simple, not to expensive and working good. I did put some poliester deadening material ( that i used for my car subwoofers) inside that external cobra speaker box to make speaker sound less boxy. I think it works for me better that way. Call me crazy but I here difference with or without that stuff in it😂. Doesn't sound like a speaker in aluminum can anymore 😂.

​@@myszaca I bought and own the same Cobra external CB speaker. I have it attached to my CB radio in my mobile car. It is a good loud speaker.

Not the Icom 7300 but for the money I paid I love this radio. 73

Awesome thank you!

Good to know that radio works good. I may buy another one for the car 😆. Talk to you soon. 73

Great audio and sound 724, miss talking to ya locally. 73’s de 74 Chicago

Yes didn't here him here also for over a month.

@@coffeecan7440 Same here. Been very tuff lately to hear anyone local lots skip out there. We'll listen for ya out there 74. 73! 724 Chicago

@@myszaca If you're near your radio 767 right now I'll give a listen for ya on ch36.

Merry Christmas And Happy New Year 2024. I am in Sount Orange County California , 73.

@@myszaca thanks my friend

Its like trigger discipline 😂

Yeah I like this radio. 73 from California.

@@myszaca After talking to people who use them I decided to order one. I think they are one of the better sounding radios in my receive.

@@jgmopar make sure it comes unopened and if for some reason you will get urge to go to engineering menue which I don't recommend to do and change things make sure you write all the numbers from it, I think 62 positions in there, FYI some numbers when you change in there will never come back even if you want to and radio is junk after that. That's why it's so important to get brand new untouched radio. If you got radio and it's open and you had to return get Radioaddity from my good friend Scott's Radios, he has RU-vid channel showing what he does etc. Good luck and have fun. 73's.

Nice, have fun with it.

waving back. skip is strong but didn't hear you or 747 from Chicago. Maybe we cross our antennas out there. Ch 37,36,38. 73

Radio is not to complicated when you get to know the functions. If you trying to go in to CB hobby then you may have to buy CB radio, this is 10m radio converted to CB. You don't need license to run CB but any other frequency on this radio besides CB can't be used without HAM radio license.

Get Radioaddity QT60, same radio with customer service in USA and warranty. Check Scott'sRadios RU-vid , good friend of mine. www.scottsradios.com/product-page/radioddity-qt60-10-meter-radio-max-60w-fm-am-ssb-pa-tx-rx-noise-reductio

As on the video you can see Silver Cobra Speaker by the radio. That's the one I use. 73.

@@myszaca Thanks a lot my friend. 73s 😀

If you have 3 clear channels and over modulate FM, the noise floor drops too. :D

I was confused also when I started with this CB/11m hobby again 5 months ago. Simple answer is that if you not in any club like World Radio or NeedleBenders club you can pick up any number for your CB call sign instead using your name and go for it. Some people use nick names with numbers to be unique and recognized when they are calling other stations. I picked up 767 added my approx location where I live and that's it. If there is another guy with the same cb call sign in your area then you pick different one and that's it. If you part of World Radio Club then you have to pick up number that is not taken and follow the rules how to become member. You can Google that one. I hope this makes sens. If anyone has better explanation for this question please do answer it. I may learn something here also. 73.

@@myszaca sounds pretty cool. I'm also in OC. I got my Ham Radio novice license a while back in 1983 in Argentina (I was 13). but I moved a couple of years later to US and never kept it up. I did talked on the CB from 1992-1996. We had a big group on CH 5 in Tustin. That was fun! - an yeah, I was talking on a RANGER RCI 2950 10 meter ham radio hacked for 11m

@@ocfilmsdotcom Nice, it's good time to come back for fun, skip is crazy this days. I started with this radio and 102" whip antenna. I still use my track mobile setup at times when I go to Ortega or Pacific Park RD and sit on top screaming my longs out 🤣🤣. Have a good night.

we're not intelligent enough to remember more then 3 numbers ..mine is Ga 101 ...73's

With programming software and cable. Software download from Anytone website and programming cable Amazon etc.

We use here CB handles or Club prefix plus numbers. Ham call signs are used most of the time on ham bands not cb or what they call free band 😛. Similar to Alfa Tango in Italy, in USA we have World Radio club or NeedleBenders club etc. and they use there club numbers and letters etc. on CB. If you not club member you can choose for your CB call sign any number, name or both and use it. If you like to use ham license no problem I here people use that also. 73

@@myszaca Thanks a lot. NOW I get it. So "123 in Alabama" is his number in his Alabama radio club lust if members.

@@PeterJavea 123 Alabama most likely regular call sign that the operator choose to use, I use 767 Orange County California since nobody from local stations use that number in my city. There may be another 767 in different locations etc. And if I want to use my club World Radio call sign I can use it at any time, whatever you prefer you can use it etc.

@@myszaca Now I understand better, i realise that in my amateur radio club here in Brussels Belgium (BXE) I am member #278. When you're new, you have everything to learn :-) and that's half the fun of it

@@PeterJavea yes, learning process. I am still learning also. every day something new 😂. Good for the brain. 73

unfortunately they are not.

No, there are no official licensees for CB so it's not like Ham or GMRS and they are not assigned, kind of like the original handles. People pick numbers that they identify with, from dates to radio models to engine numbers. Most people will keep their same numbers their whole life. A very lose rule of thumb is, many people use numbers when talking skip or DX and use regular handles when talking locally. It's not a hard fast rule but a loose one😅 some of us will use both the handle and the numbers together in case someone recognizes one over the other. Also it is pretty common to tag club call onto your personal numbers. If you switch clubs you take your numbers with you as long as they are free in the new club. In that case the club usually maintains a roster of all their members with the persons approximate location and maybe their handle and first name, some rosters may even include a PO Box or mailing address. I have been in a few different groups over time. Right now I am most active among the UDX group so my DX call will be UDX469.
