I have used the99V in my car since Jan of this year and like the radio very muck it replaced a SS3900 which was also a good radio. Out put is 2to10 watts on AM with 100% modulation and 22 watts on SSB. The 99V has a first class reciever for an Export 10 meter radio. I have talked all over the world with this radio the first part of this year on 10 meters on SSB on 20 watts or less.
I also use another 99V as a base radio and its output is a little higher but have had great results with it as well, It replaced a TR296FG the 296 was a great radio as well but the 99V has so menie bells and wisles i just had to have one. The feature i like best is the big acturet meter, i use an RK56 mike which works real good with the ecco. It was very hard to find a radio that i liked better than the TR296FG. |

Excellent radio Walterb.I'm partial to to my 99's although I still haven't lost affection for my Connex.If my son hadn't taken over my Voyage VR 9000 I would for sure be talking on it daily also.So much fine radio gear available-so little time to talk on it. |

I have a dx99v as well as a connex and I am very pleased with them both I run them both with an astatic 575 and they sound great. I'm thinking about buying a voyage vr 9000 to add to my collection since I've been reading so many good things about them on CEF. |

Snowman 787 :I have been very impressed with the Voyage 9000.Their is one thing you need to know before you invest your money , the 9000 doesn't have a mike gain feature which could give you a problem if you like to run power mikes.If I didn't already know I would think my son was running a power mike.This radio peaked & tuned is loud and proud with the stock mike.As I have said before I don't use power mikes on any of my radios.I like for the person I'm talking with to here my voice without tire whine,engine noise ,and the like.Different strokes for different folks. |

Just to let you know ,I am a ranger dealer and I have had 3 6300fhp's brought in and I can not get them to peak up no where near the 2950 or the 6900 no mater what I do. It has the 10B board in it and just doesnt do the job. I sent mine back and got the 6900 for a few bucks more.The only downfall on the 6900 is you can not control the echo from the front of radio like the 6300 |
