Superstar 3900 EFT **Sneak Peak**

Here we are, another sneak peak. This time of the 3900EFT, which is the same as the Superstar 158EDX. This is according to sources in Italy received this morning (23.03.2009) the new rOHs version. Old ones are from China and the new line now is in Malaysia. A little muffly on the audio FM, so that makes me believe these are destined to America where FM is not so important? But makes 24-29mhz with ease and after a little warm up the radio is solid on the frequency. CE Approved, and rOHs approved (wait news now from CRT) but this radio could indeed knock a few others of the top spot sooner or later.

Looks EXACTLY like my Superstar 158EDX . LOVE that Blue Light baby!!!! 450+ channels(West Texas) BoogeyMan

Hi BoogeyMan, a little different board and some other components here and there but other than that sure is a lot like the 158EDX. Thanks for the comment, regards to West Texas

[simonthewizard]

Thanks for the message. Yes it makes CW, Yes has the large heatsink. rOHs+CE Approved, am informed yes to both but the importer CRT will not reply to emails. **** EDIT**** SENT NOW 12 EMAILS AND NOT REPLIED, SO IN THE MEANTIME THE ONLY ANSWER IS THAT THE RADIO IS NOT NOT APPROVED rOHs

is the radio eny good at dxing with out a amp

[simonthewizard]

Yes the radio works well after the initial 15 minutes till all things are steady is the easy answer.

SS158EDX, has a slightly different board but yes the features are the same Gavlemannen66. And power, have made tests and mine makes 5-20w AM/FM and on SSB now with the standard Mike it is 29-32w

[simonthewizard]

Leave the power set below 20w ssb and works well with KL500

I have an RCI 2950 and an Icom IC7400 - as well as 3 Yaesu and 2 Kenwood radios (even an Alinco) all for HF/11m etc. wanted something different. Bit of a collector and like to try new kit.

If you are going to buy a real hf radio get a rci 2950 or icom.

[quacker1964]

Ok, as there are so few radios available (talking about buying new) please clarify your idea of real radios fella.
