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...

Frequency response is controlled in DSP firmware. There will be no more firmware updates on the AT-5555Nii long case as it is discontinued. Future models may include more menu based TX and RX bandwidth and EQ options, which would be welcome (it is a roadmap item (y) ).

Thanks Brother DXer. I'm glad you like the update (y) 73

Hi all, Attached is BETA firmware for the AT-6666PRO which is aimed at solving the SSB mode "HI SWR" issue. It is based on the latest V1.01 (it adds no new features, so if you are not having this issue with your radio, then there is no need to apply this update). PDF update instructions are...

Your service menu settings should not be effected as part of the firmware upgrade. The only Service Menu item that *might* warrant re-adjustment with the new firmware is the FM deviation setting, as the radio has a new 2k/4k FM.DEV user menu option that will basically double the amount of FM...
