Hi Tom,
Yep My CRE8900 is designed for people with tiny fingers. Glad i'ts working now. Clicky clarifiers Yuck! I tend to use my G2 for C.B. thats got a really nice clarifier and obviously my HF set for the Ham bands. The 8900 is still pretty good for the freeband though.
4KW mate you're gonna need a generator!
Milan will do nicely shows you kit is working okay.

A genny thats an idea lol lol ,, your so right about the clicky shift,, must get my old cobra fixed ..Yes I was pleased with Milan, he came out of the blue, I was just messing about with my switches and knobs and there he was, only had him for maybe a minute or two, and as you would no pen or paper and a coffee in one hand, but did get a R/R of sorts ,, nothing on his meter and in the back of the box clear,, I had him on a bouncy 5/6 and radio 5,,, lol its no good I need a beam a bloody big one lol , rest of the day was a write off 7lbs of hash across the board, all I could get was the yam yams on low 19.. Well the bacon is calling, catch you later.
