[@edwardhannahsamuel730]

It's out of this world this crt 9900 I love it.

[@davydacounsellor]

See all the tossers that give this radio a thumbs down pls leave a comment why, I still go back to this rig every time I'm on the net, should of bought this indeed of the mirage mx25 as we can see lots of scope and for a beginner's great rig, cheers for review

[@sniperwolf1484]

Hello. That was a good and helpful video especially on the menu.. the radio itself don't look too bad nice bit of kit. thinking of getting one. Good review on video thanks.Geff

[@ChrisTheHulk]

Thank you for the kind words :) I was only leant it for a day so I could do a video on it. But am thinking of buying one myself soon as my CRE 8900 has started to play up

[@RingwayManchester]

Good vid as usual Chris, thanks for sharing. Nice little rig

[@ChrisTheHulk]

Cheers :) Very tempted to ask some family members to get me one for Crimbo ;)

[@RingwayManchester]

Great stuff :)

[@stephenhanson4513]

yes a great radio and them beeps yes

[@ep1929]

Echo pot is right at front of board, two together - it's the one nearest front.

[@jeffvega4037]

i saw a video on here for the echo adjustment

[@ep1929]

Wouldn't it have been great if it had a hygain V bleep on setting 5.

[@stephenhanson4513]

right chris no facebook to day its been down awhile now but if you go to dwhutch on the you tube there is a video of how to adjust the echo

[@ChrisTheHulk]

Cheers Steve (Y)

Looking for help my anytone 6666 is only doing 30 watts on ssb it use to do 60. I changed the np10 to the 520 finals would that be the problem

[@ChrisTheHulk]

Yes, the 13N10 is a more powerful mosfet. The IRF520 are used in the 5555 and other lower powered SSB Chinese sets.

[@ep1929]

Had to back the echo down on mine as it was too high.

[@bonydox9]

Chris which one do you prefer? This CRT or your Alinco?

[@ChrisTheHulk]

I'd say my Alinco. Because A; the menu isn't as complicated and B; the backlighting which makes the radio easier to use in the dark up on the hills. It doesn't have the output power the 9900 does, but a small KL203 sorts that out nicely.

[@David3o3]

When yer done with it, mail it off this way... lol

[@ChrisTheHulk]

Only if you send me that HP test set ;)

[@David3o3]

Lol.. Damn it...

[@ChrisTheHulk]

;)

[@phillyp.8619]

anyone know how the crt 9900 compares to the cre 8900 ??? ta v.m.

[@ChrisTheHulk]

to be honest, after using both, I can't say if one is better than the other. Both have excellent receive on them. Both have excellent TX audio on them. I'd say go for the 9900 though simply because of the higher output power

[@phillyp.8619]

Thanks chris...philly.

[@paganphil100]

Philly P.: I have both....the main difference is that the CRT-SS9900 has a lot more output power but they're both excellent radios.

[@joistein]

The roger beeps are awful , one beep is best if u are on SSB.
