    Did some radio handles

    Nice. I was trying to find something like that that would work for 5555n type / size case radios online and there is really not much available out there.

    Anytone Ares 2

    MIght be worth sending an email out to anytone and confirm firmware version to reflash it and hopefully get it sorted out. 73

    Happy St Patricks Day ☘️

    Did anyone have the luck of the Irish on Sunday? Hoping that no green liquids got anywhere close to your radio gear! 73

    Is anyone making a new base station

    Yes, TM86 had posted this on Tuesday in the ebay auctions section titled "homemade" which got me thinking again about one of these newer radios made as a base.

    Is anyone making a new base station

    I am really hoping we will see a radio like 5555n2 available as a base sometime in the near future. Heres to hoping

    Another Anytone clone from Radioddity Qt-60

    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

    5555n2 / QT60 - what would you add

    "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...

    Is There Anyway to Identify A Saturn Base Radio by its Serial Number?

    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
