You do realise that 27:555 USB is the International calling channel for SSB for the last 40 years and not FM please respect this

I was showing respect by informing you you may have gone on there and been insulted by someone and not just been letting you know like I have , so calm down please.

What is the make and model of your radio. Sounds to me like you have 80 channels uk/eu am/fm

yes i have its a AT-5555 11 meter and 10 meter its all been programmed wrong i figured out uk channel 33 on the rig is actually channel 19 - 27.78125 so everything is to cock i am sending it back but for now i am just using the frequencies to hop about ive ordered a ss9900 from knights so it should come proper programmed by them
on a lighter note i just put up new antenna a venom and i got my first acknowledgement tonight only for a few seconds from a chap in derby but then i lost him it must be this weather
