    Anytone at-5555n II (version 2)

    LOL I definitely resemble that remark!!! Made a local contact with a driver a few nights ago, and noticed my echo was on, I thought I turned it off, but what I did was completely changed bands. I couldn’t understand why he wasn’t coming back to me. Lol.

    2-6AH lifepo4 in parallel?

    My question is will 2-6AH lifepo4s in parallel be sufficient to use my AT-quad 6 for maybe an hour? I have 2–27AH also in parallel but they weigh like 13 pounds. I figured someone here would know. Thanks in advance!!!

    New here and I just got the Q5N2 for Christmas. Took two 5/8 wave for foot Firestick antennas and configured them as a flat side dipole about 20 feet in the air. I guess you would call that a 1.25 wave length dipole. I couldn’t be happier, it’s performing better than I could expect it. Great...
