All the ones you listed are novelty radios, except for the Optima MKIII, it's a fairly decent radio.

I wouldn't say they all are. I think the CRE8900 is a pretty cool radio that performs really well.

My Anytone 5555 works great and has a nice sounding receive also, better than my HR2510 on receive.

thats a pretty bold statement saying better than a 2510 . that style is second best imho
only my ar3500/3300 has done better

His 2510 is old and tired. His current assessment sounds about right.

Yes, M42 is correct, the HR is old and may need an alignment also, it still transmits pretty good though, where the AT5555 power starts to fade as the mosfets warm up. Things like this (receiver audio) tend to be subjective, it is just an opinion after all. I like the audio coming out of the 5555 better than the HR.

Here is my You Tube SSB comparison between the two radios (not claimed to be a scientific test in any way): HR 2510 vs AT 5555 (V4): SSB Receive Audio Comparison - YouTube
Sorry for going off topic.

Yes, it seemed like that at times and there was a fair amount of QSB as well. As I said, not a scientific test by any stretch of the imagination.
Just a bit of fun really, to pit one radio against another.

Add the stryker 955 to the novelty list. That receive gain is a joke.

I've been using the Anytone 5555 in my mobile for well over a year now and still talk skip when conditions are right. Receive is fantastic and to talk to the UK with 40 watts is amazing with a Wilson 5000 on the roof. Just Wednesday on the way home on 27.395 lower side. Just Love It.
