It was a fun project on a rainy day! The DDS is actually Arduino based and the original (very basic) sketch can be found online. I had to make changes to the code to make it work the way I wanted, (and I added new step options and changed the button functions around). You can then re-flash it...

A "Q5NPro" is something that has been kicked around for the future, with things like 15m band, fans, higher power, updated LCD, backlit buttons, etc... But it is not on the near roadmap at this point. That's not to say it won't ever happen, but it is down the list because the Nii "short case"...

This is what I did to one of mine. Works great on 10m SSB now. I have some others that I haven't touched, they are very poor on SSB. I will have a look at R130 and the other post with all that info, and see how that goes. Cheers!

That's why the software tool was created. It's a barrier to entry that will stop most basic users from even attempting adjustments, (the same ones who made the keypad service menu mistakes in the past) but for those PRO users that need it, the PC tool is the keys to the castle. IMO it's awesome...

The AT-6666 PRO PC Alignment Tool, V1.03 is attached below. 73

This method no longer works. It was removed by the factory on all new versions because of the mistakes being made by people without the knowledge or the test equipment needed. To reduce these user issues, and still give the PRO market what they need, AnyTone have released a PC Alignment Tool to...

I did manage to get the deal, they won't be making much margin on that sale! I went with the WF-100C WX station. https://www.radioddity.com/products/raddy-wf100c-weather-station FYI, the WWDX code won't work for Xiegu products unfortunately, otherwise an X6200 would be in the cart too. :)

I just found that the WWDX code works on weather stations, and on things that are already on sale. I'm going to grab one and another QT60 Pro for the shack too. Thanks for the discounts WWDX and Radioddity.

The original AT-6666 between 2019 and now has not changed (it is now discontinued). The new 2024 AT-6666 PRO is 100% new inside and its functionality has changed significantly. 73

If it works, and if it is sensitive enough to see the signals you are trying to measure, and if it is accurate enough then it would be "OK". I say OK because it will get you close enough to align a HR2510. (You could have 20 digits, but if the resolution and accuracy is still low, then the...

The concept, if it makes production is an entirely new model with new hardware, but builds on the latest designs of radios like the AT-6666 PRO. I would personally love to see this radio become a reality (as well as a small-size SSB radio, and a SSB handheld).

Everything Simon has said in his post remains true. 73

Hi all, A new version of the PC Alignment tool V1.03 will be available for download on the AnyTone website soon. The updates are: 1 - UL SQ "8" updated to "9" 2 - Compatibility with CH34x USB programming cable drivers has been improved. 73

That's a massive win! Enjoy.

Yeah, except these AT-6666 PRO / QT-80 radio's don't have a power up display at all. (The AT-5555N2 and QT60 / PRO have the configurable display text, but that is programmed with the PC software, and is not stored in the firmware either).

I would guess the guy who owned it knows what happend. And maybe roughly how he let he smoke out! haha. If it was a random failure, then the radio should still be under GPE warranty, but maybe it is not transferable? I hope you can get a good result.

My guess is it has blown finals or something else in the PA stage, causing a large current draw (or, large voltage drop) on TX, which causes the radio to reset. That's just a wild guess though. Did your friend mess with the service menu? As a very long shot, also try another power cable on the...

What do you mean by "display name"? The name shown in the QXCodePro3 firmware tool, or something else?

Not yet. But they will be soon.

Ah - ships in the night. Good you have it sorted. The factory does not want to release the v2.05 on its own (yet), because the 90% of users who don't upgrade can't use v2.05 and will have trouble. It was done on purpose. (The idea is that if you are smart enough to upgrade the firmware, you...
