    Hi AK321. Do a google search for "anytone 5555n2 monitor gain" and it will take you to a short video that explains it pretty good. 73

    Careful with those lithium battery banks

    A Friend of mine recently had a fire break out in his basement while a power pack / car starter type unit was left charging. He and his wife were home upstairs at the time and called the FD. Major damage to the house once fire was put out. They had to move out of the house while restoration is...

    TRC-449 Variences ?

    Just wondering what if any differences with the 449s that have a chrome finish faceplate vs the 449 that has a flat greyish faceplate ? I seem to have both types. Maybe 399 will know :) 73

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Maybe try something like an antron99 and see if better results. Just a thought. Gl

    "Fix the "Channel frequency gets overwritten with VFO move" issue" Amen!

    5555n2 / QT60 - what would you add

    If only they'd listen. Some of the suggestions maybe other then maybe the encoder like backlit buttons, display dimmer would likely cost them peanuts. I guess it would mean a new production run which i suppose isnt cheap for them though.

    5555n2 / QT60 - what would you add

    Agreed on their crappy encoders. Its really a shame to cheap out on the channel encoders. One that is smooth like old hr2510 or rci2950 would be an improvement. I use the mic up/dn buttons as much as possible to avoid using the channel selector.

    5555n2 / QT60 - what would you add

    Hi Guys, curious to see what other users of the 5555n2 or qt60 radio would change or want thats missing. I think most of us agree they are very good as designed but what would you do differently with it ? Anything option related ? - for me i wish the radio had an option in the menu to change the...

    Anytone Ares 2

    Agreed super on the 6666 audio. Love the radio but find it "trebky sharp" if that makes any sense. I run the 6666 at home as a workbench base radio and now use it running through an old school radio shack / realistic dsp-40. Picked the dsp up cheap due to its age but works awesome with many of...

    Hi Dan. You may need to pop the cover and get the board number / version which is silkscreened on board for others knowledgable to assist. I had a saturn in the past and needed to confirm this info when i was looking for help with it. Hth 73 Jeff

    Buying radios from Amazon

    Radio arrived and looks non monkey'd with. The radios box was perfect and sealed and i am glad these are packaged well from the factory as the middle-man's box / packing was lacking care as usual. I haven't expanded it yet but testing it as is stock for receive, its perfect and with normal...

Plus hey, cant kick about...

Wondering how it will be out of the box stock. feedback...
