The radio picks up more noise in the mobile than just about any other I've tested. (Keep in mind this was some time back so we're coming up on month of testing now).

Once I got it mounted in the mobile (in the exact same place where I had just taken out the Anytone AT-6666) I began testing. The mounting bracket for this radio only fits on the bottom, so it really would only work for a case where you were mounting it on top of your dash or maybe in a footwell or alongside the center console. I know most people won't DIN mount, but that's not where the mounting issues end. Yes, I was using the adapter cord and the plug in the back, but the side mount still stuck out enough that it made mounting it very difficult in the same place where the Anytone AT6666, CRE8900 and Lincoln II had fit so easily. Why? Because of the side mount microphone.

While the radio is tiny, and you'd think it was designed to be a DIN mount radio, it didn't quite fit in my DIN slot.well it did but I had to really jam it in there and stretch my mounting bracket. However, I've got some issues and there are enough of them where I can say this radio isn't going to be a permanent fixture for me. The displays are easy to read, the tuning and controls work great, and the overall functions of the radio seems to work well. This little radio is cool, not only because it's small but because they were able to add additional features that we haven't seen on other similar radios. So I'm about ready to post a review of this radio on my site but thought I'd chime in here quickly to give an update. How many setting can be had is not known for now but mode setting is not to be had. One other item that I figured out is that each channel of each band (400 total) can be programmed with different settings and this may be workable for setting CW offset. Channel 19 right next to 28.400000 on ten meters for example.

The Clarifier is the 'dandy' as it can be set as RIT, XIT or both plus with the digit setting it is a sub-VFO! With this one can have any frequency setting. In normal operating mode the channel knob is just that, changing the frequency in 10 kHz steps. Rather different but thinking it over this is ok!
Cre 8900 cb radio for sale manual#
I would guess that this is the latest firmware for the 8900 but the supplied manual that I have is for the older firmware. Turning the radio off and then on will clear this mode and it goes back to normal. The clarifier will not work in this menu mode along with a few other 'odd' things. Holding the BP button while powering the rig on also goes into test mode as the display at first shows TEST, then it does not show b 510 o, But goes to a frequency display of 24.510000 and showing 01 above that, rotating the channel knob or up and down buttons on the mic, it will go to 27.065000 showing 02 above and next it will go to 30.095000 with 03 showing above. it is menu item #25 and the display shows OF, I figure it is short for offset. I do not have separate BPF, band pass filter. After sorting out the difference between the function menu set-up in the given manual and the list supplied by vkrules, this last matches my 8900.
