60ch/5kHz step on Avanti Grande v3

If you want and like DX-ing , then you need for SSB a precise frequency and a RIT/Clarifier. The old CB channel mode is not good at all for ssb DX because many people are using transceivers radios with VFO not PLL ... so that they can use zero frequencies like 27.540, 27.570 etc. and you can't do this, or you loose your RIT button. The only solution to this problem is to rewrite the frequency table in the memory, and this can be done with a PC and the correct version of software. For example my radio has PCB v3 but for soft it use v1, with v5 soft you can only read not write the desired frequency. With the help of my friend YO2MON we did the job, anyway I keep it the old CEPT band (band D) in the old fashion channel mode 40ch for compatibility with "barachinno" radios :-) , but in A,B,C,E and F I have 60ch, so now I can do form 26.5MHz up to 28.0MHz in 5KHz step whit RIT to help RX in 100Hz/10Hz. :-) That's more likely !

Receptie este cita vrei, practic eu vad S5 pe aparat iar la ureche dau 9 :-), pt un S3 pe aparat dau 5, asa aud eu,... strig degeaba dupa ei si cu 100w ca tot nu prea sunt auzit, culmea ca am lucrat mai bine qrp5w cu 1RGK555 , iar de la 14AT143 la 100w mi-a zis ca sunt probleme cu modulatia si ca poate n-am curent destul din sursa.

In concluzie, doi amatori mi-au zis sicer ca modulatia de la Avanti Grande le place mai mult (un roman si-un italian care ma cunosc bine ) , receptia este foarte sensiblia (0.16uV) asa ca multe semnale se aud bine la s5 dar nu pot fi lucrate caci nu ajunge puterea/antena. Antena tunerul automat este bun pt lucrul multibanda in concurs, dar pt monobanda 11m antena este baza si se poate acorda usor sub swr 2 in mod natural deci e cam scump si inutil.

How to get a better reception on Avanti Grande CB radio

In this radio they forget one IF filter out :-) ... like in many others type of cb radios (in an cheap one I do understand, but not in this one) , and there is a small smd resistor zero ohm (starp / bypass) in stead  ... remove this carefully, and then on the back side of pcb is easy to solder one refurbished filter.  Now the sensitivity and selectivity of the radio will be ok, like it was intended to be from the project.
