    Okay, I'll edit that

    You can also add a single pole single throw switch inline with this mod to turn it on and off with. So go stock or swing! Or use a switched pot.

    I kinda bridged the right test pad to the diode so it would be stronger. I also used very flexible high strand but small wire leads to make the connections. The right side of the connection is the BASE of the transistor and the easiest of the two connections to be made. I wouldn't be drinking...

    I figured I would put it there so I didn't have to put a hole through the cover.

    Already know this works because I can really tune the modulation in at different power levels across the range. I'm in Louisiana and I talk to Maine a lot and they just said it's smoking loud and swinging all that way! Thanks for the info.

    That surface mount diode has a test pad between it and the cap it connects to so I used that pad so as not remove any surface mount stuff by accident. FYI.

    Here it is with a pot! I used a 1k ohm pot and you can hit the modulation sweet spot from 0-100 on the power knob. One you set your dead key with the RF power knob, you adjust the swing mod knob for max modulation at that dead key and POW!

    What is the value of the stock resistor?

    I was looking at that. So, the 560 ohm resistor is behind the leg of the diode in your photo? I can do that mod for sure.

    I can tell ya, its opened up a lot with the menu adjustments. The key though is to at least have a power and modulation meter to see what these adjustments do. I've since changed my settings some more. I've gone to 0000 on the AM modulation limiter settings and maxed out the Mic gain to 63. I...

    Okay guys, I figured out how to get the PC software to work while reading from radio for the first time. It's the conversion to 11 meters that's causing the issue. You will need to reset the radio to 10 meter band then go into the software and read the radio, save the file, then restart the...

    Don't know yet. I just got back into this a few months ago. The Quad 5 is the only radio I have right now. Hopefully money gets right and I can start purchasing again. I liked this one because it's not as heavily menu driven as the others are. You have more knob control. Main factor for me.

    If it's setup right, the audio is pretty good. The radio passes a pretty good audio range, but you can change that with settings and different mics. I'm using a T-UG8 D-104 and I'm getting awesome reports and I've heard it on gates. Sounds great. I do want a little lower end or bass though, but...

    Anytone AT-5555 Plus V7 opens up pretty good on the power and modulation. On AM, I can dead key .5 watts and swing to 4 on the low end and around 17 swinging to 37 watts on a DOSY meter. Modulation is now pegging the meter when I want to. On SSB I'm getting 1.5 watts on the low end of the power...

    AnyTone AT-5555 Plus V7 Service Menu Settings: I started the service menu adjustments. I wrote down the first 19 items and adjusted only the 4 items mentioned above to get this radio swinging and modulating on AM. All other items are factory and not touched. I listed the factory setting and...

    Howdy folks, I have the Anytone AT-5555 Plus v7 and I get this error when trying to read the radio for the first time. Any ideas what the deal is? Windows 10 21H2 Prolific USB-Serial PL2303 adapter AnyTone AT-5555 v7 software Thanks!
