    http://cbradiomagazine.com/CRE 8900 10 Meter SSB Export Radio Review.html

    I was just up on E-bay looking at ham radios and ordered one I never heard of before, the CRE8900 a 10/11 band mobile that's supposedly the smallest CB/Ham that has SSB.

    It's slightly smaller than a Ranger 2950 which isn't too small.

    CBRadio magazine has a youtube on it and its got quite a few features. It's a European 10 meter that is super easy to modify to work on 11 meters (CB). You just push 2 buttons while turning it on. Total price with shipping $228 USD.

    Built in talk back, echo, & other stuff. Gotta be ordered from the UK.

    I had one about a year ago, it is actually really small.

    Radio was match to predator ant & i did talk european countries plus all over US/Canada barefoot.

    Only downside for me was the mic i didn't like the microphone feel in my hand other than that no complain.

    Stick to a real radio, don't be fooled by these cheap junk radios that are not ham radios or have good circuitry design. They preform just as good as a cobra.

    I'm a Ham and want 10 meter access. Cobra doesn't have 10 meter radios. I don't wanna have an all band radio in my truck.
