    I heard that tilting them forward will lower the SWR.

    Best CB Radio has returned my email and they are shipping a radio to me. Many thanks to @Lawrence lin and his team for making this happen. I will update and review when it arrives.

    When I got a sample of the Chierda s890, the same thing happened. But Ford Zheng was able to get me a sample at the sample price. Too bad the noise reduction didn't work, totally misleading. And that's why I want a sample. I am also in contact with Best CB Radio by email, so maybe there is...

    Compressor

    Making the volume of the commercials the same as the program would be nice. Do you plan to put this inside your TV?

    Bond Telecommunication company on Alibaba replied that there was a mistake in the listing. The minimum order quantity is 300. :ROFLMAO: But they haven't corrected the listing, guess I won't be a distributor for this radio. Back to the Anytone radios for me...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Not anything to listen to last night. I put the Stryker on scan to see if there was any local activity. Someone was making noises into the microphone. :rolleyes:

    Clarifier, Locked or Un-locked. What does this mean?

    Having the clarifier modified so you can talk where you are listening is a must on the old analog radios. The new Anytone radios and their variants are on frequency as soon as you power it on. I never have to use the clarifier, unless it's to get someone who is off frequency.

    Update: I was just informed that this radio will be available in June.

    Clarifier, Locked or Un-locked. What does this mean?

    I think that the status of features in modern terms means that the unlocked feature was activated, and the locked feature was deactivated.

    Alibaba has them, not sure what shipping and tariffs cost. I sent an inquiry for one unit.

    Unfortunately there aren't as many drivers that have a CB as there used to be. My wife's sister, her son, and her boyfriend all drive over the road and have CBs in their rigs, but they will tell you that most trucks don't even have a CB in it. I took my wife to Niagra Falls for valentines day...
