I posted this in another thread, but I thought I would make a new one. I don't know if this is cost effective, but a lot of things in this hobby are not. This is the guy that invented the kits that Troy Radio installs.
A step in the right direction. Supposed to be the surface mount board from the 99n1.

This guy has some good info on adding a DDSVFO to a radio. He has some great explanations of how it works and what to do. He offers the Arduino program on his website for free download too.

Finally, a cb radio with all 3 modes. Uniden really dropped the ball in this department by putting FM in the 880 instead of the 980. The new McKinley is supposed to be in short supply with this limited prerelease. This will give them a chance to work any bugs out, if any...
The other day I was wondering. ( That could be dangerous, right?) Why are the diodes put in parallel to the incoming power? This blows the fuse, but something else will get damaged before the fuse disconnects the power.

At the risk of making a big radio even bigger, I put an RFX95 on my Ares 2. The installation is not too hard, and the directions that come with it are pretty good and fairly easy to follow.
When you take the heat sink off, you will find that the transistor mounting screws thread into it. I...
The stock electret microphone that comes with the President radios now days is hard to beat. Changing to a dynamic mic will usually give a lower tone that sounds good, but it lacks the punch of the stock mic and consequently is not as loud. A power mic will bring up the audio level, making the...
New President mic with NRC. Some kind of noise reduction on receive with a microphone? The website has not much of a description. The downloadable manual is kind of vague.

Apparently the little DSP board that came in the newest Anytone radios was available, and people put them in other radios. Here they put one in an Anytone 5555. Use Google translate.
