The AI noise reduction can filter out everything and pass the words through. Like a noise gate for words. Is there any other radio that has this?

Item 'Galaxy DX Radios DX939' https://www.worldwidedx.com/ims/galaxy-dx-radios-dx939.234/

Talked to a portable operator in Albuquerque yesterday, from the parking lot at work. Strange conditions, I was able to hear two operators from Jamaica talk to each other as well. Maybe they were ground wave to each other and skip to the rest of us.

Seems strange that Uncle Charlie wants to crack down on private sellers, when there are a dozen companies selling Chinese ten meter radios marketed as CB radios. Many times you don't even have to convert the radios either.

There are some other "808" stations, so it's quite possible. Maybe when we made contact yesterday, he thought you were talking to him? Anyway, it was great talking to you yesterday. I was on my lunch break, in the parking lot, listening to the radio in my truck. I had just turned the radio on...

It's FCC ID control. The key word is control...

Take the covers off and sell it as parts? Customer puts the covers back on and has a nice radio.

When someone is in the mud, and you can copy some of what they said, the beep helps to let you know when they quit talking. Otherwise, it's not necessary.

The audio on this 778 sounds great, both Tx and Rx. The electret microphone seems to pass more lows than the Anytone and President radios that I am used to. The fix for the Anytone and President microphones is to use an element from a telephone handset to get a little lower response, but the 778...

Great to see a company stand behind their products. LDG is an American company located in Maryland, not far from me.

Another chance to get the bundle for $239 from the 25th to the 28th of this month. https://www.radioddity.com/collections/flash-sale?utm_source=pushowl&utm_medium=campaign&utm_campaign=3348204&pn_source=campaign&pn_source_id=3348204&subscriber_id=295318459

Inside the radio we have IRF 520 in a 1x2 configuration driven with a driver and predriver transistor. This radio should drive a 4 pill amp nicely. Heavy cast heatsink and thick chassis sides should be able to deal with the heat satisfactorily.

I recently got my hands on a Luiton LT-778 mobile transceiver. It is a basic AM/FM radio without VOX, DSP Noise Reduction or even a menu for user functions. All the functions are with buttons on the front of the radio making it a great candidate for mobile use; menus can be quite distracting...
