About this deal
I will probaly us it mainly FM when in convoy with others so low power but will hopefully try some DX on SSB.
The microphone has a 4 pin plug on it and does not have channel change buttons on it (which some customers like but others say they catch them by mistake). VFO frequency mode continuous from 28.000 to 29.700 MHz (Standard) or 24.880 to 30.000 MHz (expanded)Here is a link of my first CRT radio with what i can only describe as someone keying up next to a tractor engine right on 27.555, the video sound doesnt do the problem justice to be fair it was worse when trying to listen with it.
If the cable does anything near what the dx 5000 could do with it then there is no way you would not want it.

The channel display is a blue LED, rather than the more common LCD display. This has the advantage that it can be viewed from any angle, whereas LCD displays become faint when viewed at some angles (particularly from below). antenna1 wrote: Thanks for the link but that list does not line up with mine e.g on mine band A is UK cb and what is on band A on that list is not on my radio then band G TO L are missing on that list to. It helps a little bit but not the list dealers are preprograming the ss9900 to. cheers Power / Signal Strength / SWR indication + Numéric indication for SWR value + Power supply DC displaying The radio has only the basic controls you need: volume, squelch and channel change. There is also a preset "auto-squelch".
