I’m pretty sure you will find this radio under other names I didn’t mention here. The PCB of this version is built a bit differently to make it fit into a DIN enclosure. There’s also a CRE variety, the CRE 8900. This radio can be found under a myriad of names. So, how good (or bad) are these radios really? I gave the Superstar SS6900N the same treatment as any other ham radio equipment I reviewed here, and ended up with some surprising results. ![]() The manufacturer claims the output to be 40 Watts on FM and SSB, and about 12 Watts carrier on AM/CW, all adjustable. They pump out a generous amount of power too, thanks to a couple of IRF520 MOSFET finals (which, BTW, are dirt cheap). ![]() ![]() They are indeed all-mode: FM, AM, SSB and CW. Yet it would be silly to ignore these radios all together.
