The strangest part is that the clones all have the noise reduction feature.

The noise reduction DSP makes a huge difference, it is like night and day. It is equivalent or better than the West Mountain DSP.

I think I saw a YouTube video of someone replacing the clock motor. They would buy a device (I forget what it was) and take the motor out to put in the CB. I will try to find it.

From what I understand the 5555+ does not have the noise reduction feature, only the +N does. The N2 also has the noise reduction and should be the same as the +N in that regard.

Welcome back! The Anytone 6666 Pro is packed with features and I believe is the smallest radio with SSB. The Stryker 955 is also made by Anytone (Quixang) and probably has the biggest audio on AM, FM, and SSB, and also does 100 watts out of the box...

I got a 980 one time when they were on sale at Amazon for $99. Great radio, clear audio (although a bit narrow) and stays on frequency. The wireless microphone made for it works really well and has excellent range. The display was an attempt to modernize and they did a good job making it look...

How about extra channels?

I don't believe that they have gone surface mount yet. There is a way to look up the FCC certification that shows the insides, but I couldn't find it. Bells has a picture of the inside of a 29 ltd chrome. https://www.bellscb.com/products/cbradios/cobra/Cobra_29_ltd_Chrome_%20FM.htm I almost...

Wow! Thanks Radiodity and WWDX!

The pin 4 was only a thing on the old radios. The BC-645 is a great electret mic for these radios. I ran one on my Stryker 955 for a long time. I now use a mic that I modified with an element from a telephone handset. Here is my thread about it. Thread 'President Electret Microphone Upgrade'...

I would try to put the tip on the tinned resistor lead, and let the heat conduct to the smd part. Maybe set up something to hold the big resistor to make sure it doesn't move. Get in and out with the iron quickly, shouldn't take much.

I was out in the garage today putting a starter on my daughter's jeep. I heard some people on side band, and they were few and far between. But channel 6 was going strong, go figure...

We live right on the edge of the city, technically outside of the city limits, but surrounded on 3 sides. It is a small city with the tallest building having 5 stories. The city has tried to annex us, but lacks the funding to bring public water and sewer. They can keep it, if it means paying...

Two drummers? I had no idea...

Sometimes we get stuff like " Tommy's coming back, needs change for 100."

Where is the sideband switch?

I put it down in the spring and there hasn't been enough DX or enough time to try. Looking forward to the DX picking up this fall.
