It wasn't a shameless plug, it was just an observation. I am not a customer of his. But I have seen him go over and above to help on the occasion that things go wrong. This, as opposed to buying a radio on eBay. That is all I was referring to. I have removed that comment from my reply, because...

Nice try LC. I suggested finding a good tech, nothing about shops! He purchased this off eBay, so even he knows he is out of luck on that front. When you purchase an ARES 2 / AT-5555Nii / AT-6666 PRO, you could purchase it from somewhere like Radioddity (sold as QT-40/QT-60/QT-80) for the full...

They are all different. If it has been messed with, you will most likely need to find a tech who understands these radios very well, with all the necessary test equipment to align it properly. This assumes that the radio isn't broken (no blown finals, missing components, damaged PCB, etc) of...

Note that PIN 2 "EXT.AF" is RX audio available on the front mic socket - this is selectable in the "VOL.PATH" menu. This allows for a single cable connection to the radio for things like a full TX/RX headset, wireless/bluetooth accessory, or a data interface for digital modes (FT8, SSTV, VARA...

Great! I will add some info below that might help: Disabling PA mode is a nice thing to do. NRC of course is adjustable from the radio and also the PC software . 15m is a "gift band". Performance RX and TX specs for 15m are not specified. It will have reduced TX power (around 50w-60w is...

Mine measures the same, on the other side of the globe from Mike :)

You could possibly fit a HP server supply in there and have 60+ amps for cheap! Just an idea.

That's a pretty cool radio stand, but the included PSU is only rated to 12.5A. The AT-6666PRO is fused at 15A, and will draw at least 10A on SSB peaks. For the PRO, I would want a supply with more headroom personally. FYI and caution - the information and some of the parameters that were...

Real radio operators will be using the VFO mode for HAM use. ;) (Push and HOLD the "BAND" key to switch between VFO and CH modes). FYI - If you set the microphone "PF" key to the "CH.PUSH" option, then full control of the VFO is able to be done with the microphone keys, and it's is an...

One of the things Scott's Radios does, is IMPROVE on the published specs in many areas. The main item is often the IMD/TOI tests, where he aligns to reduce the third order IMD/TOI products significantly - meaning a very clean signal with minimal "splatter" on adjacent channels. The radios are...

If the vendor is who I think it is, then you should have contacted him in the first instance, and sent it to him in the first instance, for inspection - and not someone else. He is the best in the business and will do everything possible to help. FYI - The fault you are describing can't be...

Potentially VCO IC failure, or something around that area. If it was alive, you could easily sniff the oscillators (eg, 10.625, and also VFO Freq + 10.625) with a SA. I have not seen this failure on these before. Any chance it was zapped in a storm?

haha that is gif is awesome :LOL: (y)

Nothing official at this point. Some aftermarket options exist if you want to go that route.

FYI, there has been over 18 months of detailed testing and multiple hardware and firmware revisions done on the PRO. No other radio of this kind has had so much pre-production testing time and engineering effort put in (it's been a huge project). When you get a PRO, you are not the guinea pig...

Yes it supports 15m in expanded mode. Note, 15m is a "gift" band, the performance on 15m is not as good as the bands the radio is designed for (it will have lower TX power and reduced RX sensitivity). However 15m still works OK and is a great option to have.

There is actually a reasonably large demand, and the rumors of a new radio in the near future are great news for the hardcore (crazy?) people like me who want one! 73
