    Anytone at-5555 PLUS

    It will be fine i put a astatic 636L on mine just because I dont like those little mics. I just adjusted the audio to 63. Later I used the software and customized my frequency. Covers 10,11,12 meters. My Anytone 5555 plus, covers same frequencies.

    Anytone at-5555 PLUS

    All the radio's are different as per the settings. Computer software just use the lastest Anytone version available. I have all of the Anytone's and 2 of the 'Top Gun Technology" type radio's.

    Pitting current techs to old techs...

    I remember those days as a N/C then the tech+ then on to general. That all crashed for me when my Friend and Elmer past away. You did hit the nail on the head with the "Be Nice" I try and live like that now. Take care.

    Home Retevis Ailunce HS4 10 Meter Radio Review

    Yeah he's around. I've bought and resold probably 4 or 5 of these radio's. Never had any problems. I saved the software setting I use so it's pretty easy. I used the same software as my Anytone Q5555 Plus so its easy peazy. Dont talk much if any on SSB anymore so not sure why I even keep ssb...

    Pitting current techs to old techs...

    Like many repair guys of my day I got into repairs because I had no real tech I read "Books" we had those I bought books. You all should remember the ARRL guide, the CB dummy or anything by Lou Franklin. We taught or self to read schematics, this helped me as a mechanic as well. Then Real Life...

    Stryker 955 HPC+ Short Chassis

    Just when you get everything all wired and set-up in the vehicle. Probably work good with a 4 or even an 8 Pill. Think I'll wait and see if they have any bugs.

    Texas Star Amplifier Repair

    Make sure you do the changes on the switches, Might want to watch one of gate keeper's you tube video's. If your using a low drive radio like a 29 leave the driver. If your using a high drive like a stryker or any of the 10m radio's pull it. A power wire upgrade will give you another 100-150...

    RCI 99N2 - 300 Watts?

    I have a N4, and it will splatter like a bug on a windshield. Trick I did was not open my Audio wide open. I never run a power mic at all. This is in my Pick-up since my Pill amp is about 60 watt max. My Heathkit will take 90 I guess but it gets the same 60. I dont like to burn my stuff up, but...

    What changes do i need to make when swapping out Toshiba 2sc2879 for HG's?

    This is a very good informational video for a beginner.

    What changes do i need to make when swapping out Toshiba 2sc2879 for HG's?

    HG's need more wire. Check BBi on Youtube I bet he's got a video. I would try and figure out the numbers and look for Clad capacitors. I use them because if I use a matched pair of Transistors why not use good matching caps. Dont go by the old Texas Star schematics, there a Basic theory.
