Good stuff! FYI, You can disable modes with the PC software. But keep FM. It's a great mode.

Okay, time to own up to more ignorance. I did not even know that FM can be used for DX. I have never spoken to or even heard another soul on FM around here, or anywhere for that matter, but I am definitely going to try.
But I have spoken to many people using the PA function and a small loudspeaker installed in the engine compartment back in my teenage years (I lack enough fingers and toes and arms and legs to count back far enough to identify when that took place) when we were allowed to get away with such tomfoolery. I embarrass my wife enough in public at times without the PA, amplifying the volume would be fun. For me that is. For her, probably not so much.
Try 26.805 FM you can use fm on any channel you want…
26.805 is the international FM call channel and there are hundreds of folks all over the world on there. Here in North America we have the "Original 26.805 FM Group" which also numbers its members in the hundreds as well, so there are lots of potential contacts to make on there !
I bought my QT60 Pro from Radioddity just a few days before their 20 percent sale started. That's just how I seem to roll. 
I did send an inquiry to their customer support last Friday to see if there's any way I can get refunded the 20 percent difference. I figure it doesn't hurt to at least ask. I haven't heard anything back yet but it was the start of the weekend and I hope they are taking time off work and living life.
In the meantime, the radio is performing well and I am happy with it.

Just an update: I did end up receiving a refund for the amount I paid over the current price. No issues at all with getting it. So far, dealing with Radioddity has been a very nice experience.
For anyone wanting to try the AT-5555Nii short case / QT60 PRO on digital modes, see the attached file for a DIY cable how-to, and the required menu settings.

Now I'm getting cornfused with this talk about the Radioddity QT 60 and the other day I thought I heard about a Radioddity QT 80 which seamed like a rebadged Q 6666 Pro. Anybody have the scoop on the QT 80 it seamed cheaper than the Q 6666 Pro ?
AT-6666 PRO = QT80
AT-5555Nii (original long case version) = QT60
AT-5555Nii (new short case version) = QT60 PRO

Thanks it hard to keep up with the changes. And they all come from the same factory don't they ?
Same factory, and the same radio's with different branding. Sold by different companies that offer different levels of warranty support (some offer none, some offer a lot). Take your pick.

Yeah I wasn't aware of that short chassis. I would have bought a AT-5555N2 already if they didn't have their specialty mic hook up, but I need a 6 pin hook up so I could use a President BT Mike in my state. I get sick of sorting thru all the BS just to try to talk a little DX. Too many places to drop a dollar. LOL
