There is always a way, but it's not currently available publicly. QX understands that some access is needed for the dealer channel, and for the "pro" end users. There is good news: There will be an official solution to this in the near-ish future. Stay tuned.
Your example of 20Hz frequency...
That is normal. 15m is a "gift band" - the factory makes no performance claims for 15m. In testing we have found a slight reduction in RX sensitivity, and on TX we see between 40-60w PEP. It's quite useable.
The TX output on 15m remains clean with harmonic suppression still achieving around...
I disagree. PEP is an extremely important measure in RF, and when used correctly, is correct. Anyone with proper calibrated SSB meters can show consistent, repeatable performance to the specifications. (What you see in that video, is totally the opposite of this).
Agreed! I saw one of his...
Hi all,
I have seen a few people talking about the TONE menu setting (SSB TX Bandwidth / frequency response) in the AT-6666 PRO and QT-80. It allows for either LO 3K or HI 4K settings. I was messing around with one today so I thought some of you might find this interesting.
Below are the...
Hi have 3 of them here. All of mine do between 80-90W PEP on AM, and 95-104W PEP SSB. Better than advertised on 10m/11m.
Measured with a Bird 43, a Monitor Sensors meter, and a new calibrated spec an. All of the tests I have seen done by others with these meters, and also with an LP-100A also...
I have used/owned every radio mentioned in this thread so far, and I still have most of them here in my shack now. For what you asked about, I would choose the QT-80 (AT-6666 PRO) first, then the QT-60 PRO (AT5555Nii short case) as a close second. No question, as these are true dual purpose...
I wish this didn't exist, but it's also interesting on a technical level. Assuming a 20 watt (ish) radio, what does the power spread look like on each channel, across it's usable bandwidth? I guess, depending on the range of the radios TX passband and VCO, the actual power out on each individual...
This is not what I would expect getting a radio new from Radioddity, but if you have a good working radio on your hands, then it's still a good radio, so I wouldn't worry personally.
I hope you have a good run with this one.

It's none of my business (no dog in fight, etc) , but I did just re-read what Timmy said. It seems Scott's did not get an opportunity to look at the radio, and Timmy respectfully chose another path in this case. It might be the case that Scotts has not been contacted about this radio at all? I'm...
No problem. Me too.
Regarding the issue Timmy had - I'm not totally across this, but he did say that he did not contact the seller (Scotts) until very late, after sending it to another local tech for repairs first. And it was some 18 months (or so) after the sale? I don't know the outcome of...
