Once you have the service menu up, how do you access a setting to view/change it? Pushing the channel knob doesn't seem to do it. I'm building a spreadsheet for this menu, but can't get to the values.

Not a Q6, but both my Q5n and Q5n2 work with my 203P and 300P amps just fine. I run both radios at 10-12 watts peak, and everything is happy. Why do I run amps with these radios? Because I can't get 150 and 180 watts out of the radios.

I had a nice chat with 025 Mike in the Netherlands about 10am. We was on 38L and went to 390 where I make contact. Others were there so we went down to 380. Nice and quiet. Back in the 80s it took every watt you could muster, the CB Gods looking down at you, and using beams to make that contact...

In between trips back and forth to my truck, pulling wire out of a Firestick to tune the SWR, I was on the radio and watching tv. 226 is always loud here, and 404 was in and out, but we made the connection ok.

Had another great QSO with 226. It seems we get a good connection quite often. Talked to 44, a newbie to CB in Fla. Told him of the website. He'll be visiting here.

Awful quite. I've been calling every now and then, but no comebacks. Everybody must be watching the pregame shows.

Pfftt. Predictions. We don't need no stinkin predictions. We'll show them predictors. I'll be on 16, 35 & 36L for the weekend.

Nice chatting with you 226. Like I said, I don't know why people have distortion trouble pushing the RM Italy amps with a Q5n2. Mine is a 300p that was doing 160w with 10-12w feed. Maybe it's the peaked radios with the problems. Thanks for the report on the audio.

My AT-`Q5n is the rarest export I own. The Q5n2 has replaced it, so my Q5n is rare,and difficult to get, by my standards. ;) Back in the late 70s early 80s, export radios were coming onto the scene. You heard someone on one every now and then. Not too many were popping for the cost. I never...

Yeah. Yesterday was brutal for noise/hiss.

I had a 10-DA back in the 80s. They are tuned for voice at about 2400 hertz. I loved it.

Good morning. It's been a little active since 12noon EST, on channel 16 lsb.

And back at you 917. It's been a long time since I've talked on16L. The last month or so has been fun chatting with the WDX crowd. Back in the 80s 16U&L were being used. Everybody in SE Michigan used 16U.

Cold solder joints, a wonky fuse, loose wire. could be almost anything. Poke around with a stick or pencil

Nice chatting with you, Rod 226. Like I said, you can send that warm air up here anytime.

Made a brief contact with 593, Joe down at the border of Mexico and Honduras @12:30 est on 36L. Then jumped over to Newfoundland, then Alberta. Seems to be north-south today.

Sunup to sundown, 1111111111111111111 on 38lsb. I don't get it. Perhaps it's a Russian attempt to jam/control the channel, and use it for their military coms. I understand they have 10s of thousands of Radio Shack walkie talkies from the 80s. So they run the 11111111111111111 scenario all day...

Every Anytone I've heard on air has excellent audio. I get many comments on how clear my Q5n & Q5n2 sound. What's to upgrade?

Yes. Make sure the solder goes through to the other traces.
