Happy New Year Jack, good to see you on these forums. It's slightly annoying because length of the cord is a little too short for mobile operation in my opinion. The standard microphone supplied in the box was fine for all modes although lacking in weight. So far very impressed although time will tell. On the whole a very stable radio, no significant frequency drift as the radio warmed up and a great pair of ears - sensitivity was very good and the FM side was fantastic for sensitivity pulling out lots of distant stations on the 19. ![]() The only issue I encountered was on the SSB RX was with the very strong local station (less than quarter of a mile away) causing big distortion but this was easily solved by turning the RF gain back slightly - just the same as many other radios such as the President Jackson etc. Also spoke to a couple of very local stations. Having worked the radio for 3 hours yesterday afternoon and spoke to Richard (Honeymonster) off this forum (26TM292) located over 70 miles away and working static mobile we exchanged great reports considering we were both mobile running SSB. According to Simon the Wizard the Maas version has one or two improvements over the Anytone branded version. It arrived on and is the V3 board revision. I have the Maas DX-5000 variant of this radio, supplied direct by Alex at Maas in Germany. Kaos wrote:If I bought the Maas 5000 will I be ok?
