    Do you have anything extra in line (ie filters,tuners) if so; I would remove them until you figure out where the problem lies. I would invest into an adequate dummy load. What happens when you plug the antenna coax directly into the back of the amp? Does it still hang up? I hope you get this...

    ANYTONE AT-5555N2 receive noise work-around

    Interesting thread. I will have to check mine when I get home. Funny...I never run my RFG control at 100%. My sits between 12:00-3:00 o'clock. My serial # ends with 80034. Update... My receive is just fine. A little white noise no static and my RFG control is nice and linear.

    I have the 400hd. I replaced my wires with #4 awg and installed twist welding connectors. I would not splice the wires. Install some Anderson power connectors. A At-5555n ii may be a little too hot for this amp. the recommended power input for this amp is 40 watts peak power. His amp is class B...

    I heard a simular story from someone else with the AT-5555. My input match is 1.2 until I get to the very edge of the band with my antenna.

    I run the 400hd( as a base amp) on a 100 amp power supply (3x) 6 volt server supplies each set to 4.83 =14.5vdc @100 amps. My supply dips to 14.4 when I transmit on SSB. I run the Anytone At-5555n ii on a seperate 50 amp switcher supply @ 14.3 volts. Most of my DX is done on SSB but I get great...

    I have a Carlbuilt 400hd (SSB bias) that I run on 14.5 volts driving it with a AT-5555n ii ( 70 watts peak). With a 4 watt dead key I get about 80-100 watt DK swing to 550-600 peak (bird) with crystal clear modulation. Very happy with my Carlbuilt amp. Looks like his shop is back open with a...

    Thanks for the reply. Scotts radio also confirmed this.

    Mic Upgrade for a President Mckinley

    I will check again. The stock mic that comes with the radio is an electret type microphone(voltage is present on the audio pin). So if you use a non-electret type or a power microphone you need to turn off this voltage. if not; you could damage the mic and or radio.

    I'm not sure the Mckinley has a menu? or is it hidden?
