Thanks to the multiple people messaging me about the new CRT Alpha and 6900 NV. So the good news is the 6900NV is €189 so lower priced than some had imagined. And the second good news is the “Alpha” states CTCSS and I quote “Yes : sub-audio code to activate repeater like selective tone” so not sure if it’s got repeater mode inside or just means parrot mode. We need to wait until dealers have these on the shelves and / or manual is available.

CRT don’t mention the ‘RX Noise Reduction Option’ on their own website.
Oh yes they do! That’s where I copied it
https://www.crtfrance.com/en/mobiles-transceivers/987-crt-ss-6900-n-v-blue.html
Look left hand side where it describes stuff and it says “various functions” it’s described here. You’ve got mail
Various functions
Emergency call + Adjust echo (delay&repeat) + Keyboard lock + (+)10 Khz function + CW tone + Protection against to high input voltage&to unfavorable SWR + Squelch level protection + TX Noise Gate + (RX noise reduction-option)
So the CRT seems to be indeed without the NRC option…
6900Nv It states as internals include
TX Noise Gate + (RX noise reduction-option)
Noise Gate background noise on TX
RX Noise Reduction Option in my opinion is indeed NRC board in the radio??
