No need to yell. That is correct....the beta is the updated software to run on the "long case" 5555N2 which gives it most of the abilities of the short case version. The other software posted later in the thread is to roll back to the original firmware if you have problems. The upgrading...

I am as usual spending far to much time working for a living, and not enough on the radio on any frequency LOL! Maybe later today I'll find some time.........

I like the idea in principle, but I think running sideband on 33 or 34 is just going to piss off a lot of AM operators. That's what happened when we tried 35 USB last year......I got cussed out every time I called CQ on sideband! Channel 40 is useless on the west coast due to all the Espanol...

I only make the occasional contact with other WWDX members, but when I do it's usually either on 36 or 37LSB. I made more WWDX connections back when we had the 16LSB thing going on weekends a couple years back. Most of the time I'm chasing international DX on 27.555 USB. I do talk to Texas...

It's a little unclear whether five posts means starting five original threads, or if five responses to existing threads is sufficient.........maybe Moleculo can clarify for you.

I understand the rules and wish to enter the contest!

Had my second farthest contact ever yesterday... Paul 43WA145 in Dongara, Western Australia. 14,500 Km from my QTH. My longest contact was with a different Western Australia station a couple of years ago which was 14,950 Km from me. Made the contact on 27.560 USB and he was the only station...

That mobile is a beautiful radio! Is that a Cybernet board with a PLL02A in there?

It looks very interesting. The Aquario radio looks interesting as well. They both appear to be a similar very small size. I wonder how the power output of the new Anytone compares to the Aquario? I'm not a fan of the display on the Anytone prototype version with all the different fonts and...

I found this online for CRT SS9900v4 and it should be correct: Turn off the radio. Press and hold both the MENU and BAND buttons simultaneously. Turn on the radio while still holding the buttons. Once the radio powers on, release the buttons. The display should show "HF BAND". Turn the channel...

I remember Craig audio gear for cars, but only vaguely remember them making CB's. Perhaps they weren't sold up here in Canada. When I got into CB in the mid 1980's up here Realistic gear, especially the Navaho line were by far the most common radios. There were plenty of Cobra & President...

The symptom of voltage randomly turning on/off sure makes it seem like a cold solder joint or broken trace somewhere. Have a look through a magnifier at the area around the power related components of the VCO.

Just made contact with Gus 88XX01 in Habana Cuba! I've spoken to him a handful of times in the past as well. There can't be to many folks on the radio in Cuba, but I've had a few contacts there over the years.......... He's on there calling CQ again as I write this on 27.560 USB if anyone...

The original post is from 2011, so it is a wee bit more than a year old LOL! Paging Doffo: We need your "rise from your grave" gif stat!!!

Wild conditions tonight on the radio! Short skip coming in from all directions. Had a long QSO with a station only a couple hundred miles from me across the Coast Mountain range............. Also made some Alberta, Saskatchewan, & Manitoba contacts an hour or so ago on 36 & 37. Still coming...

Overcast and raining out here on the west coast. :cautious:

The Anytone radios have very very good receive. The only old school radio I have that comes close to my 5555N2 is my side mic Cobra 148GTL from 1994. In fact the Cobra has slightly tighter sideband filters, but in every other way the Anytone's are spectacular on receive and it makes many older...

Megawatt supplies can be stacked. I use a 35Amp that is RF quiet and has run now for several years 24/7 with no problems. Two of those stacked would give you 70 amps, and three stacked would give you over 100 Amps at 14 volts DC.

Wish we could have had a longer QSO! Your signal was making it no problem, but I had a lot of QRM from other stations that were making it a bit rough...... 73's!

Strange conditions here today. This morning I had very little coming in except 886 "Little Kiwi" from the North Island of New Zealand on 38LSB. He was booming in and we had a good QSO. Usually in the morning we get Europe and the East coast and Australia & NZ don't appear until late...
