I just watched this again. It actually works perfect with a 4pill HG-2sc2879C box Set the dead key @ 200w and let it swing. Using a 1000 watt meter right now and it smokes it all the way over.
The 198 is definitely a mic that has to be held as close as you can get it to your mouth as possible to get good audio they are not nearly as forgiving as the 636 but even those need to be held somewhat close for the best performance the guys that try using the 198 or any other noise cancelling mic like a stock mic always sound like they are sitting on the other side of the vehicle talking in the background or like they have the mic gain turned down as low as it will go
I had to get this one. It’s going to be a great addition to my collection. I’ve been looking at these for a while now. Thanks Matt it sounds great and can’t wait to get it hooked up. 73’s
Man that’s a sweet radio. Nice clean power. I want one just wish it was full size to use the same mounting brackets as my other radios. It sounded like it had a stronger punch with the stock mic but the 198 ergos have really won me over. I like it better the the 636 ‘s I’ve been running for years.
When print on box from country foreign, not always tells what we means. 🤣 HP = can you hear me now? AUDIO. AUDIOO OOOO... They are awesome radios. Quality control kickin' up a couple of notches. Good to see. Smilin', I'm off the key. 👍👋🇺🇸 😑🦗
Looks like the new finals are more closely matched than the regular low high power x9 finals are Hope you had a good Thanksgiving and wishing you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
That's a really nice rig. I like the size of it. One could always add a heatsink if they really wanted to. Have ya checked out the version 2 of the 5555n that one looks good to. If your takin orders after the holidays I might send ya my grant to align for me. Have a great Christmas and New years 🎄🎉
Yes I've seen the 5555 ll , it's definitely not for me but I'm sure they are fine..thank you for taking the time stop by and hope you have a merry Christmas and happy new year my friend
you and "Ground Control" you guys make great videos, and talk the same tech. very real, calm, and true. saving my pennies for the AnytOne5555 II+ ! .. are you putting and age limit on the radios we send in for repair?.. example some techs, wont allow older than 15 yrs old radios etc..
I have an rci 39vhp. Took it to a shop and everything is apparently perfect. But i can barely hear anything through the external or radio speaker. What could be the problem?
I want one with mo smpkifier in it 50 watrs ssb eould be goid enough . You cant pull over and park shit key off and talk. The x9 looks good for base ise.
Just ordered this radio. The service has been outstanding and above professional. I can’t wait to fire this one up!
I subbed. Thanks for the on/off switch Matt! I owe you at least four more months! Greatly appreciate your talents! Paul in Indiana

Very nice radio.
Lots of power, too.
If I was looking to put one in my truck, I’d consider one of these.

That's a real nice radio!
Right on!
I love them 🎤
Bought one these from another shop it's been nothing but trouble I'm disappointed with ranger will never buy another
That radio is really nice how would you compare it to a Stryker 497
My exact thoughts too! I'm comparing them both
Great video as always
@TheRadioGarage
Can this be modified to a CB ?
Can u run this with a normal battery set up inside your vehicle? Like one 12 volt system
Yes , 1 battery in a vehicle would be sufficient
Nice
I have the first x9. It gets people asking what it is at every wreck. Lol

Not sure what the restrictions will be yet 👍💪👊

It might give the Ole Connex 3400 hp, a hard time, but not the Connex and the Texas Star dx250 , 😏

👍🏻👍🏻
So how would a D104=or a Delta M2 work on that radio.
Thanks Jim
It will run a st6 no problem
Power 200w antenna will pressure resistance here ? what Used.
Is this power right outta the box or did you tweak it?
not many am's left in australia,most use the UHF,but thats one awesome am rig
Show me the frequency plan please.
You ready for my general lee
No mail-ins yet just as mentioned in the vid
Can’t work with a radio that only has a 5 digit readout.

Nobody runs FM here in the States pal.
