This is a neat looking radio for sure, and it appears to have a noise reduction feature on the Rx too. A little over $250 has it competing with the Anytone radios. https://moonrakeronline.com/us/midland-8001-pro-cb-radio

I heard you in there, but my mobile just could not make the trip. We will keep trying...

This guy might be able to help, I found his website a while back. I am not affiliated with him and have never used his services, it might be good to email him just to see what he says...

It might be so wide banded that the sensitivity is reduced?

Engineering Service Mode: - Use at your own risk. - Some settings need input from test equipment. If you access a parameter that needs an input from test equipment and you have nothing hooked to the radio, the parameter is set to zero and you now have a door stop. - Hold the knob and Mode...

Is the Superstar 676 made by Anytone?
