At 7\" x 4.76\" x 1.5\", it slips into truck consoles, work-van cabs, and daily-driver cars where a full-size chassis simply won't go. It runs on 12–24 V DC and includes a factory cigarette-lighter power cord, which makes it easy to move the radio between vehicles without pulling apart a hard-wired install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAudio quality is where the SS-399 punches above its size. The included SRA-198NC noise-cancelling microphone rejects road, wind, and engine noise before it hits the modulator, and a switchable echo circuit lets you shape the outbound signal to your taste. On the receive side, variable squelch and RF gain let you dial out band noise on quiet stretches and open the receiver back up when signals get weak. A front-panel signal \/ RF power indicator and channel number display give you everything you need to see at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the transmitter uses MOSFET final devices bonded to a large heatsink, which is why the radio holds up to extended keyed-down operation without fading. Rated output is 8 W RMS carrier and 20 W PEP across AM and FM on Ranger bands C, D, and E.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSuperStar SS-399 features and specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 meter amateur mobile transceiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModes: AM and FM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRanger bands C, D, and E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRF power output: 8 W RMS carrier \/ 20 W PEP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower source: 12–24 V DC via included cigarette-lighter cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlim compact chassis: 7\" x 4.76\" x 1.5\" (180 x 120 x 40 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSRA-198NC noise-cancelling microphone included (4-pin standard wiring)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront-panel channel number display and signal \/ RF power indicator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable squelch and variable RF gain controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable echo (ON\/OFF) for outbound audio shaping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMOSFET finals with large heatsink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal speaker jack (3.5 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting bracket and hardware included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOptional Pro Tune and alignment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon't forget to add the Pro tune and alignment option at checkout so that your radio is professionally bench-tuned for best performance per the manufacturer's service manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the SS-399 fits in the SuperStar line\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SS-399 is the compact, AM\/FM-only member of the SuperStar family.

It does not include SSB. If you need SSB, the SuperStar SS-99VHP covers AM and SSB with far more output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat power output does the SS-399 produce?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRated output is 8 W RMS carrier and 20 W PEP on AM and FM, across Ranger bands C, D, and E.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the SS-399 a licensed amateur radio?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The SS-399 is a 10 meter amateur transceiver and is intended for use by licensed amateur radio operators on the 10 meter band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat microphone does the SS-399 include, and can I use my own?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe radio ships with an SRA-198NC noise-cancelling microphone. It uses the standard 4-pin Ranger \/ Cobra mic wiring, so any standard 4-pin mic wired for that pinout will drop in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the SS-399 powered?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt runs on 12–24 V DC through the included cigarette-lighter cord, which makes it easy to move between vehicles. If you prefer a hard-wired install, standard 12 V accessory wiring works fine as long as you fuse it correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the SS-399 fit under a dash or in a truck console?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe chassis measures 7\" x 4.76\" x 1.5\" (180 x 120 x 40 mm), which is one of the smallest 10 meter mobile chassis on the market. It fits in most truck consoles, work-van cabs, and factory radio bays that reject full-size mobiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the SS-399 include an external speaker jack?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. A 3.5 mm external speaker jack on the rear lets you add an external speaker such as one from our CB radio speakers and PA horns collection for better audio in a noisy cab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo you offer a Pro Tune and alignment for the SS-399?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes.
