Thanks Shane,I really haven’t started on my collection of Radios yet so stick around.I unfortunately sold my Jackson’s over lockdown along with quite a few rigs.You will enjoy the Ares I’m sure as it is great fun.I will pop over your channel later for a look. Thanks for visiting.
@@gtretroworld I will see if I can give you a link to it when I upload in the next 2 days or so , cheers for the reply buddy shane , Nuneaton warks uk 🇬🇧
I prefer the front mounted microphone socket on the Ares 2 compared to the 3900's left side (which is the wrong side for a right hand drive car). Still undecided. How do you adjust the RF power output? Some of the descriptions say there are different power ranges, but it looks like its continuously adjustable on that rotary control.
I also like the front mounted mic socket and the extra facilities are quite useful on the Ares 2.Tomorrow i will see how effective the adjustable power is on the meter and come back to you.👍
@@Patrickjdee66 Mine was wide banded from the factory and most are, or should i say most were back then. If needed it is simply just a case of reprogramming the radio with your choice of frequencies.
@@Patrickjdee66 So it came fully equipped then ? I was looking at them , not sure what to get not had a rig for over 25yrs it's a minefield looking at them 🤣
a great radio i have one its ok but its all been set up and i turn the echo off and the mic it came with is ok rodger beep of i hate it and had some very good contacts and the power i run mine at 7w and use a kicker radio stays cool and i have a fan on the kicker cool all around
Yeah i just prefer just good old plain audio too.You can actually get the bleeps to sound reasonable in the software but again it is not really my thing,although i am a sucker for the good old and much loved/hated HyGain V bleep.As for power these things pack a punch straight out of the back.
In a word , EVERYTHING Crappy sounding microphone Ridiculous instruction manual Mine would literally not even talk across town. So I threw it in the scrap pile and went back to my cobra 142 . Anytone ares 11 radios should be banned from the market
According to the Bank of England inflation calculator the price of this radio is the equivalent of £51 in 1981. There is a thought for you.
I love that thought Gordon,so basically it is a bargain…
yawn

I am literally just about to upload a short video demonstrating the RF Power adjustment,hopefully it will help..73’s
@@gtretroworld Thanks. I will watch out for it.
Quality video thanks, is it easy to wideband? Is it a case of just moving jumpers or can only the shop do, Martin lynch charges £25, cheers buddy

Thank you Buddy
@@Patrickjdee66Does it not say in the description on ML site that it already comes widebanded and not to update the firmware ?
@ : It does , had one delivered today

Would it be the same for a superstar 3900.?
Although both basically use the same chassis the 3900 is very basic in comparison.
