I had to adjust the RF gain on the CRE 8900 just a bit to reduce some of the background noise.sometimes that radio (it’s an early production version) does better with the RF gain at 75% or 80% instead of 100%.

I actually make a point of dropping the RF gain down while monitoring 27.025 AM on the Galaxy 959. Channel 19 was messy, which explains use of the +10 kHz switch. On the second video (the CRE 8900) I caught some CB operators using R/C channel 19A - 27.195 MHz - for AM voice communications. Note the activity on 27.435 MHz LSB, midwestern accents on 27.435 LSB and several other SSB frequencies/channels, including channel 38 LSB / 27.385 MHz LSB. Superstar 3900 (aka a dozen other names and models) I got three videos, with three different radios! Locally there was a lot of activity on 11 meters.including channel 38 LSB booming in at points. SSB DX on channel 37 (27.375 MHz LSB), channel 39 (27.395 MHz LSB), channel 40 (27.405 MHz LSB, with AM mixing in, of course).and, naturally, channel 38 (27.385 MHz LSB) was very busy. Recorded yesterday afternoon around 6:30pm local time (2230 UTC)
