After the 880/980 fiasco with the failing screens and the Lincoln 2+ fiasco with the bad receive audio & other issues I have lost faith in President. You can buy an Anytone/CRT/Radioddity or you can spend twice as much for half the radio and go with a President LOL. I have heard the new...

For the most part conditions up here have been pretty good. There's the odd day with less DX than normal but mostly it's been great. South, Northeast and Southeast US booming in almost every day with tons of Texas, Florida, Gulf Coast, Carolinas, Indiana, Illinois, New Jersey, New England etc...

Have you tried another mic? A lot of these kind of problems are caused by mic issues, usually with either the switch, cable, or plug. Try a different mic and then let us know if it is still having problems..... Is transmit without audio on both AM and sideband?

For skip work there is no point in going higher than 36 feet unless you have objects such as buildings that the antenna needs to "see" over the top of. For local, the higher the better! Raising an antenna 20 feet will be roughly equivalent to doubling your power. So to answer your question...

LOL! That's right........ You ask the gentleman on the phone for a price quote and he says "Are you sitting down sir?" before giving you the price! :LOL:

Excellent! I was fairly sure the HS4 had it. On my Anytone I run it at level 1 or sometimes 2. I find higher levels make stations sound overly 'robotic'.

You can easily tell whether or not it has noise reduction. Find an open channel with just static. Turn up squelch till sound stops. Then turn squelch back down......if the volume of the background noise drops noticeably in the one or two seconds after you turn the squelch back down then you...

There's a heck of a lot more to propagation than "flux spots" or sunspots my friend! For one thing, the influence of those spots is largely dictated by the direction they are facing.....and sunspots only affect propagation if they release a flare or CME. Solar flux has more influence than...

I'm surprised you need a fan on that radio. It's the same circuit inside as the Anytone 5555N2. I have that Anytone version and I can yak all day on sideband at 60+ watts PEP and while the heatsink does get hot, it's never too hot to touch and there's no power loss even when it does heat up...

Is there a way to get to the back to push the shaft back out? If not then the only other possible way I can think of would be to use one of those super powerful rare earth magnets to pull it out. However if the shaft is pushed in tight that might not work either........... You may have to take...

Damn. And conditions were finally starting to get really good......

I remember talk about the plusN too but like you I'm not sure it was ever released. I know I've never talked to anybody using one....... I have a feeling that once they came out with the original 5555N2 they decided not to release the plusN. Pez would know for sure; hopefully he'll jump in...

I love the look of the old school radios, especially the 148GTL. I love the nostalgia of running those old rigs. But I really value function over form, so my Anytone 5555N2 has become the radio I use daily. My old Cobra, President and Navaho radios are all put away in a cupboard. The new...

Before you buy check they are still shipping to the USA. Many countries have suspended shipments due to all the unresolved tariff and trade issues & threats. Someone posted a long list on here recently of all the countries which will no longer ship to USA. Some will still ship by courier but...

Yes. There is a main menu accessed from the front panel, but many of the adjustments are in a "service menu" which is not intended to be user-accessible, but the way to access them can sometimes be found online. These radios can also be custom configured by the user using what is called...

955+ is a totally different radio inside than the original 955. The 955+ is all Anytone inside and is SDR based, meaning it has no internal adjustments. Everything is done through the regular and service menus.

He's asking about programming software, not the service menu.

I would be careful. For one thing it's hard to tell whether the HS4 is a clone of the 5555Plus or the 5555PlusN which would likely have different firmwares. And even if you know that part, there is still the possibility that Retevis uses a different proprietary firmware that is different from...

Those are both older versions of the 5555 series of radios. Though still available from some places it seems........ The latest short case version of the 5555N2 offers many more features and improvements over the Plus & PlusN. I guess if you want a more traditional CB appearance then go for it...

Got on the radio for a short while this afternoon. Conditions were good. Made contact with 745 on the island of Trinidad in the West Indies on the first call on 37LSB. Followed up by several contacts in Florida, Louisiana and the Carolina's on 36. Strong signals from Brazil again up above...
