I fooled around in the radio room last night checking out some of my older radios and 11 meter am was as dead as I've ever seen it. And I haven't heard anything on FM either. Yesterday 38 lsb was hit & miss all day. Today is mow the grass day before the rain starts again tonight.weird things happening now. my am fm radio is on tuned to a local station 28 miles away. the signal drops out to not good. shut fm sterio off n helped some, and 11 meters rite now dead quiet at 3:32 am
You want to talk about weird. I got done mowing the lawn and decided to take a break and have some breakfast, but first checked the radio room. Everything dead except 5 AM on 11meter. First time I ever heard activity on 5 AM !![]()

Yes, even if 6 seems dead, channel 5 lately has south american traffic in the afternoon and asian operators on it late in the evening here on the west coast.You want to talk about weird.

It is possible you got a bad Q6Pro. Look I got a bad President radio 2 times in a row and it put a bad taste in my mouth for president radios. I will say my Lincoln II+ appears to be receiving like my other radios but noisy. Does Your Q6Pro have the firmware update? Neither of mine have it.BTW . . . Did a side-by-side with the Q6PRO and the 139XLR on a coax switch. 139 was noise-free and pulling in stations the Q6 could only dream about. Didn't have my cel phone to record it. I will manana.
I think you must have a received a dud radio there JJ. My Anytone 5555N2 is a fair bit quieter on receive than my 148GTL, mainly due to the noise reduction circuit.Did a side-by-side with the Q6PRO and the 139XLR on a coax switch. 139 was noise-free and pulling in stations the Q6 could only dream about.
Possibly @Pez would have a idea about the newest software version if he sees this?It is possible you got a bad Q6Pro.

im ready to get rid of my hash makerSame strange conditions here too. Everthing East of the mississippi was in the mud. West of Ole Miss was a different story. Calif, Arizona, Colorado and Washington State all sounded like they were my neighbors. Totally in the red on my old Cobra.
101 Socal and I hooked up for a solid 20 minute+ QSO. Also heard someone talking to 23 BC Coyote and I swung my antenna and shouted out like crazy, but didn't make the trip.
