Great. I’ve ordered multiple radios direct from them with no problem. $239 is a very good price for the QT-80 with the bundle deal. I’d jump on it.

I just ordered another QT80 direct from Radioddity. I figure with the tariffs and all, now would be a good time before the prices go up 25-50%. I'll put this one up on the shelf just in case we won't be able to get any in the future. These are still the best 10/11m radios ever, and that's...

Last year I bought them both and had them side by side and preferred the QT80. I found the QT80 menu system better, as you noted, and surprisingly, the display was actually easier to read. Something about a sea of orange and a lack of contrast, as well as a busy stryker-style meter that I...

Yes, press the func button again. Or just wait about 5 seconds and it will automatically back out of the menu for you and go back to normal operating mode.

No worries. Yes, hold down the "FUNC" button and then once it gets into the menu, rotate the main channel knob to #42.

Yes, go to item # 42 in the menu. I don't think that was in the original firmware, but if it's been updated to the latest v.1.01, then you will have menu #42 which should show: "VER.101".

Just to follow up. Success! I installed the AT-6666 Pro v.1.01 firmware and was able to use the AT-6666 Pro Alignment Tool to adjust the frequency right on the money. The alignment tool allows you to adjust the frequency in 10 Hz increments, so I bumped up the "VF" number by one to "51". The...

Shying away from Ranger these days due to their QC issues, but they have the right idea bringing out a radio like this. I would love to see QX come out with their own version, either a SS-158 copy similar to this radio or a Connex 4800 DXL or even better a modern clone of the Cobra 148GTL DX+...

I have a QT80 and used to have a QT60. I prefer the QT80. The user interface is more intuitive to me, perhaps because it reminds me of most 2m/440 radios I've had, works very similarly. The QT60 has an interface that reminds me of my old Ranger 2950 and a busy display similar to a Stryker...

The code appears to work with other radioddity radios too. QT40 and QT80, for instance, which I added to my cart and applied the code and it gave the discount. I'm about buy a second QT80 but am just waiting for confirmation that they are now shipping with the new firmware. So far no word...

Are the new radios being shipped with the new firmware? And does this also go for the radioddity versions which presumably are coming off the same assembly line? If so, I’m buying another QT80 like today!

Anxiously awaiting the Radioddity QT80 software release before I give this a try. Maybe Radioddity might throw in a few other tweaks into their version, and I don't want to jeopardize my warranty if there's any question about it later.

If the socket is rated for 20A, it will have 12 AWG wires. If not, then Ford is asking for a lawsuit when someone burns up their car. A good way to tell for sure is by looking up the amperage rating for the fuse in the aux socket circuit. 20A or higher and you're good to go. FWIW, my 6666...

A 20A circuit will be plenty. Of course, it’s always preferable to go to the battery direct to limit the length of the run for max voltage and to limit noise pickup.

Pez, thanks, hallelujah, that's great news. If QX would add that one feature to the firmware or programming software, I'd immediately go out and buy two more of these radios. It shows that QX spent the time to debug it before they released it to market. Damn near perfect radio for 10/11m...

Our radios are fine, no need to worry. I'm just nit-picky and ocd about getting my radio that last 20Hz to be exactly on frequency. If our radios are coming from the factory only 20Hz off or less, then they are already better than 99% of all the other radios out there. As far as I can tell...

There were frequency adjustment options in the engineering menu in those youtube videos. If it can be done in the engineering menu, it can be done in software. All Qixiang needs to do is move that option from the engineering menu into the regular user-accessible menu. Plus maybe "dumb it...

The access to the service menu was deactivated in the production models. The method shown on the youtube videos does not work. Evidently, Qixiang does not want end users who don't know what they are doing bricking their radios, which I understand, but preventing any way to calibrate frequency...

Mine is off a little. 20Hz off on USB. Pretty darned good for a Chinese export-style radio. But 20Hz is enough to just start barely noticing on voice and is a bit annoying. The workaraound of course is to set the clarifier to receive and transmit and just slide down 20Hz to get it on...

Is there any way to adjust the frequency calibration? Mine is off frequency a bit, but without access to the service menu, it's impossible to properly calibrate. My Lincoln II+ is a breeze to calibrate ... via the service menu. Every other HF radio I own has a way to adjust the frequency...
