I live just up the road from Moonraker Radio and the guys in there are top blokes. I'm waiting to get my hands on one of these soon as they arrive back in stock. Love the classic look (like the brilliant Cobra 148 GTL radio) with the added bonus of being pc programmable, just like my CRE 8900 10 & 11 meter radio is. Good review indeed.
Thanks…It’s a cracking little radio for the money and loads of fun. I have been using just as much as my FTDX10 over the last week with great results,well that is when the bands are open anyway. If you don’t mind could you give me a mention when you pop in there as it would be appreciated. Thanks again for visiting.👍
Yeah it looks canny the 3900.I have a scheduled unboxing of one tomorrow night and the pair together for Saturday night. Hopefully one day this month i will have time to fire them up.
Yeah it looks well.The 2023 SS3900 that is scheduled on my channel tomorrow is almost the same looking as a 148 with modern tech.It is basically a trimmed down version of this Ares.
I have one and it's ok no drift but a good radio and I have ss3900eu am fm and ssb and its a very good radio to give it time to settle down and no more and it's a 3900eu mid band Fm Am and ssb only I have lots of uk 40 radios for uk40 but just now I have two commtron V111 commtrom 8 are both midband and Am and both bang on frequency and in great condition I had them in my younger days great cb radios and one on uk40 fm only
Glad you like it as it looks like a canny little radio for the money.I have the new 2023 ss3900 video scheduled for Thursday,again nothing fancy but it gives people a idea.
This now has frequency counter of sorts that came with the latest firmware. It basically scrolls through the channel LED.Not the best but it works.Thanks for visiting the channel.
It actually has one of sorts with the recent Firmware update,basically the LED scrolls along,not the perfect solution but looks sort of useful.Thanks for viewing 👍

@@gtretroworld I sure will give you a mention, when i next pop into Moodraker, bud
Does anyone know how to get into the engineering menu?
Very very very shinny lol....was looking at this online, looks cool
It looks very cool but please don’t ask what it is like as i still haven’t tried it.🤣
@GT Retro World lol I won't...I have about 1300 moonraker points so might get 1 lol
@@greyhound0zWell don’t forget to mention my name in the purchase comments if you end up buying one…🤓
Thanks for the video I love my new 3900 and I know you have commented and viewed my videos on it

Would this radio outperform the alinco DX 10?
Maybe a little but both of these radios are a similar product.I guess if i was choosing i would go with the more upto date Ares 2.
@@gtretroworld ok cheers mate
How many watts can a anytone CB 10 meter radio transmission ares 2 transmitt
Mine is doing around 40w which i think is quite healthy for this style of radio.
Nice radio, very similar to a Cobra 148 GTL DX, and programmable too.

They'll never be similar money wise. 🌚

Horrible radio
Crap instruction book
Should be banned from the market.
I have used this numerous times and it actually performs really well.
Unsure about banning it but you’re well within your right to dislike it.
Only fail no frequency counter compatibility
