Anytone Ares 2

[SuperLid]

Guys, please exercise a great deal of caution here. Some of the information he gave in the video and what he thinks the menus are for, is incorrect.

And that second harmonic does not exist on my radios here. (Maybe this harmonic is because of the cap change OR the "alignment" of incorrect settings).

Also 50w+? No.

So please be very careful.

I have 50+ watts from my Ares II. But....I modded the PA.

That is a different story, of course!

I did this months ago and discussed it here. I also tried the 68pF cap at that time, which is intended to match the new "upgraded" devices used to increase power. It did diddly squat. I am going to do the same mods to the 5555N2 when I get around to it. I am curious as to what that sucker will do.

That's exactly the thinking in regards to it my friend. I'm no technician but I caught what was looking suspect.

I don't have a spectrum analyzer in the shop but I can tell the untouched areas 2 I have has out of band emissions, It bleeds over on my computer speakers when keyed which the crtss6900v does not. I have npc off on the areas II because it looks super trashy on the o scope

See below: This is an ARES 2 that I have here. It is very clean, at better than -70dBc on the second harmonic.





I have posted some scope pictures (NPC OFF) in an earlier post that are very clean as well: https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/anytone-ares-2.265547/post-832392

RFI into computer speakers, does not mean the TX is spurious. It means your speakers are susceptible to RFI, due to rectification. Without a spectrum analyzer, you can't claim the TX is spurious.

I tested QT-40 and QT-60 for spurious. Both were well within acceptable FCC limits.

Forbid I talk about the quality control on an anytone, all are perfect I stand corrected.
(but my other radios don't bleed on those speakers even when running far more power)

I should probably trade my SA in, for a set of your speakers, they seem to be much more sensitive.

Your issue does seem to point to a different problem though, unless you happen to have an ARES 2 with a fault that we haven't seen before.

Get your hands on a spectrum analyzer and have a look at the spectral purity. At that point, we should discuss it.

Since we are talking about an unknown quantity, perhaps it is your other super high power radios that are dirty, that your speakers like. Maybe because your RF energy is going to spectrum in your speaker's happy place, not in the 11m band.
