The AT-6666PRO is not just a "crap chickenbander". Agree to disagree on that if you like, I won't mind :) I agree about the ridiculously high "HF" prices of the RCI bases, but they still sell plenty of them as not everyone wants a HF rig. Enough to make it "real" for some manufactures to still...

There is no base station planned on the near roadmap sorry to say. It's a topic that does come up a bit, and it's something I would love to see personally. Never say never (because things can (and do) change) but due to comparatively low volumes and higher build costs, it would likely take...

Make sure you have moved the jumper inside the radio, then read the radio with the CPS (programming software). Only then will these options become available in the drop-down list. 73

R (in SSB) is for RX Clarifier. (You can set this for OFF, R, T or R+T in the menu). The "S + A" area of the screen is for showing Scan, Offset, and Scan ADD. The CPS (Programming software) is not ready for release yet, but it will be soon. It will appear on the AnyTone website as soon as it...

No, extended VHF is only available on the short case version. Yes, the "official release" firmware is good to go, but it is the older factory firmware that does NOT include the latest features. It was added here in case anyone wished to roll back, for any reason. If you want the latest and...

Just to confirm this once again, the RP-70 has nothing to do with Qixiang/Anytone. Qixiang are releasing their AT-5000 small SSB radio in the coming months (however you might see it sold by a few different brands before you see an "Anytone" branded version available). FYI @Don 353 - yes your...

What is your power meter, and your test setup? (Radioddity are usually pretty good with warranty).

It has nothing to do with AnyTone / Qixiang.

I assume you are specifically talking about AM modulation when you mention "punchy" audio? The QT80 will give you a very clean, textbook 100% modulation on AM, but it will not do any super-swinging AM stuff that lots of folks in the USA love - it's not how it was designed. It does textbook (HAM...

When I said "AT5555NII - Long Case Firmware 241030 - WWDX BETA VERSION", that was no joke! ;) 73

AT-5555Nii 2022 Firmware (long case, "official release") attached. (y) Pez

20 to 40w PEP is what you should expect on 15m as a rule. The RX sensitivity is also slightly reduced, as it is towards the hardware limits of the radio. No performance specs are officially given for 15m, it was provided as a "gift" band because the radio still remains clean (without creating...

4. MIC.KEY is for the UP and DN buttons on the microphone. FYI - On some other radios (like the AT-5555Nii and QT-60) the UP and DN keys are shared with the PTT line, which can result in unwanted channel jumping if your microphone connections become high resistance (dirty, worn out, not...

They have many different features, different power outputs, different bands (frequency coverage), different PCB's, etc. But they do share many of the same circuit designs and technology.

I'm glad you found the problem. (FYI - Firmware won't cause an issue like this in the QX built radios). @unit_399 As for "planned obsolescence", that last firmware update for the AT-5555Nii long case was made for a radio they don't even build anymore, as a "thank you" to the "Pro" market who...
