10 Most Powerful 10 meter radios of 2024

[@paulpuglia8480]

Now, what would be the top 10 antennas for those top 10, 2024 radios are you going to do a video on the antennas for those radios

[@raymondmelladoiii7800]

Thank you Dan, very nice and informative video. You covered it all!

[@ericofrunningsprings]

Excellent video my friend!

[@iggystim]

Great information , I'm glad that I subscribed

[@darrylperson9025]

Can these radios withstand the vibrations of being in a mobile car? Which of these radios are best suited to last a long time without a fan?

[@drewsmith6066]

Yeah, but your get a flat battery, 😁

[@CarlosFelipeRequiao]

In the last table, Signal Comparison, it would be interesting if you added equipment operating at only 12 Watts of maximum power so that we could see, compared to 700W, the ‘incredible’ 😉 difference of only 3 or 4 points on the S scale

[@Z28videogates]

@@CarlosFelipeRequiao copy I do have another video going from 1 to 1400 watts. Yes more of a different starting at a low number once you’re already in the hundreds, not much difference difference

[@mostlypostie1]

It's a shame that high power, and high cost, does NOT equal high quality with most of these radios.

[@williamn01]

@mostlypostie1 what would you recommend I haven't been on the rig for over 25yrs in the UK I want something basic and something that is a little more advanced , any recommendations would be appreciated 👍 Cheers William

[@mostlypostie1]

@williamn01 No problem! I would recommend the AnyTone AT6666 Pro / QT80 or the AT5555Nii / QT60 PRO short case radios. Then if you need more power your best off running an amplifier. These radios offer outstanding performance for a low price compared to what you see in this video...

[@pulsarcb]

Impressive TX performance. Most radios over 250 watts are not worth the one extra S unit. Reliability and longevity are not Ranger's strong points. Ive repaired many. I'd rather have a 1x4 and use that on any radio I want. Great video and chart at the end. 73s

[@franciscolopez3229]

What does it mean " when/if tuned "? Do you mean you have to have it tuned first to get the specified power output?

[@bluedeval03]

Yes

[@SlipFitGarage]

Hello, can you explain the SWR Protection circuit / TX cutoff protection that you have listed for the last few radios in this video? I was looking at the PDF owners manual for the 69FFC6 and I can't find that feature listed anywhere. It's very possible that I just don't know what I am looking for... Can you tell me where you found that specific information? Thanks in advance.

[@franciscolopez3229]

If I may, the SWR Protection/TX Cut off is one of the best add on circuit on a radio. It either automatically lowers the power output or cuts off the transmit for the most part if you've got a bad to very bad SWR. Like what I have in my Anytone AT5555N, while I was testing an antenna, I forgot that one of my patch cods was shorted that when I keyed the mic it beeped and shut off the transmit. I just turned off the radio and turn it back on to reset and radio is fine. Now, if your SWR is too high, it lowers the power output to protect the finals. I hope this helps sir. 73....

[@SlipFitGarage]

@@franciscolopez3229 Yes, thank you for confirming what I thought the SWR protection circuit was intended for. That is a great feature. What I am now wondering is.... do the radios mentioned at the end of this video (the last 2 or 3 radios) indeed have this feature included from the factory? I can not find that specific information printed anywhere, other than in this video. I am just trying to verify this information for myself. Thank you. 🙂

[@CB-lz4zv]

The lack of a fan (minus the longhorn) makes them a ticking time bomb. Better off with the amp being separate.

[@raymondmelladoiii7800]

I dont know about that. I have the Longhorn and the N3 that has internal muffin fans. I have never had a problem with the heat sinks getting more than warm.

[@golden-balls-radio]

Get the facts straight they have fans.

[@bricefleckenstein9666]

@@raymondmelladoiii7800 When did CB start allowing anything over 4 watts AM and 12 watts PEP? ALL of these radios are JUST AS ILLEGAL to transmit with in the CB service as a Yaesu FT-101 was back in the day those were popular.

Where is a good reputable place to buy theses tuned radios these days?

[@bluedeval03]

I’ve been buying from Bell’s cb out of Florida for many years. Always purchase tuned from him

[@iggystim]

I would like to see you do the s unit test putting your base signal to the receiver to about an S3 instead of S8

[@raymondmelladoiii7800]

OK, well, as someone who currently has and runs both the N3 and the N6, Here is my personal preferences. 1. Performance,,, no question, it's the Longhorn. At over 800 w pep, I hang with the big boys when the DX rolls in on 17. They all compliment me on the way my station sounds, and all I have is the Longhorn, a D104 desk mic, talking out of an Imax 2000. Well worth the money. 2. looks,,, have to give it to the N3. The face plate configuration, the memory, split screen, being able to change the digits on the freq counter to adjust, and I also get good radio checks with it. At a constant 375 w pep, the Ranger N3 is the nicest CB radio I have ever owned.

@@chublezHe’s not a lid, he’s pointing out fact. These are 10 meter radios being used in the CB radio service. No one cares if people use them for CB as that service is just about completely dead. Put lipstick on a pig stick, it’s still a pig and people calling these CB radios are only fooling themselves.

[@phillallen01]

I don't know if you now anything about radios but most of these if not all are not CB radios but ham radios cbs transmit on the 11 meter band which is around the 27 to 28 MHz no cb should be transmitting over 5 watts legally

[@jeffkardosjr.3825]

What mode are they measuring the wattage? SSB, AM?

[@7-z7y]

Ham radio guys are extremely selective when it comes to something being legal / iilegal.....When they drive down the road do you always stay exactly at or below the speed limit? Didn't think so.... Then you have been breaking the law for years and should be thrown in jail according to your own self righteous nonsense

[@bricefleckenstein9666]

Why do you ASSUME everyone breaks the speed limit. I'm commonly 3-5 MPH BELOW it on rural highways, more often 10 MPH under on the Interstate - as my van gets "wobble" on one tire if I try to drive any faster.

They are all 10 meter ham radios illegally modified for 11 meters. Not cb radios.

FYI, none of these radios are CB radios. They’re 10 meter amateur radios disguised as CB radios that are being used in the CB radio service. They aren’t, and never were, FCC type accepted for that service. There, fixed the title of the video for ya.
