I watched the demo mode and noticed that as the colors cycled, they chose that dark enviorment coral color instead of red that I had mentioned in the other post as an available backlite color. Somebody in development has been doing some research. I don't recall any Bearcat scanner that usually is the focus of most of their R&D having that feature, or at least none I've known. Nice looking radio though.
Some of the posters have commented on this and the other radio as being "off" right from the box. I'd be more interested in what specifically is out of spec. Are you speaking of the carrier frequency, carrier point injection into the balanced modulator/demodulator in SSB? Carrier leakage/surpression? Is voice color simply not obtainable in either sideband or is obtainable, but idling too high or too low as to make the recovered audio too bassy or too high, but still intelligible? Simply saying it's off out of the box doesn't convey any useful information to correct a problem if any. I didn't pay attention to the board layout or stopped the video to see if there are free running crystal oscillator stages or if everything is derived from a master source. Please substantiate these claims. Not the claims of some hack artist that's trying to make an extra 50-100 bucks claiming these radios need a recommended performance enhancement. The QC on their other products such as scanners is extremely high to ISO standards. I wouldn't expect any different on a CB radio made by them.
