    Anytone at-5555n II (version 2)

    I agree, it would be nice to have a single standard, but as far as I am concerned, you can blame the IARU for that. By 1981, there were millions of radios out in the public and the vast majority of them (CB's), used -67dBM/100uV/+46dBu for S9. Even amateur radio makers had different...

    Turner Mics a No-go with New Anytone 5555n ii !!!

    ??? On your drawing of the mic adapter, it says Cobra 4 pin. If your Turner is using the stock internal wiring and the mic plug is wired for a Cobra 4 pin (or that is what you want it wired for), then pin 3 & 4 are backwards on the Turner mic plug. Turner +3 4 pin mic plug wired for a Cobra 4...

    ANYTONE AT-5555N2 receive noise work-around

    LOL Pez. A lot of things have been talked about in this thread. Specifically, before my #76 post we were talking about using a SINAD meter to test the radios RX sensitivity. In post #76, I was specifically talking about calibrating (CH-11) FMRSSI and (CH-18) AMRSSI. You quoted my #76 post in...

    ANYTONE AT-5555N2 receive noise work-around

    Because these service menu settings were from brand new radios not previously owned. There was no assumption being made. The same reason I gave as to why I couldn't use mine... mine was used.

    ANYTONE AT-5555N2 receive noise work-around

    DO NOT DO THIS! IT WILL WIPE OUT YOUR SG (in my case, my TinySA). Do not use a SG to set the FMRSSI or AMRSSI! You have been Warned! Connect a Dummy Load to the antenna, put RF power @ max, key the mic on FMRSSI & AMRSSI to set the TX meter for carrier on FM & AM.

    Locking the Clarifier on a 1st Gen 2970

    Jeff, May I suggest a possible solution? If you want the Clarifier to slide, here's how to do it correctly. You have several things going on, the clarifier is putting out too different a voltage which is why you can't tune L27, L28, and L29. And the Alignment is off. If you want the...

    ANYTONE AT-5555N2 receive noise work-around

    Sure I can do that but I would like to "calibrate" the FMRSSI & AMRSSI first. I sent Ken@Qixiang an email 4 days ago requesting the calibration settings for both, but I haven't heard back from him yet.

    ANYTONE AT-5555N2 receive noise work-around

    Let me clarify. "High Noise floor" is a misnomer. The radio's "appear" to have a high noise floor due to a S meter calibration issue that started somewhere after your low # 176022258 radio and before 176022258~380. The sensitivity is fine, on par or better than my other radios. Just the S...

    If you had to pick a 40 SSB CB BASE purely on asthetics what would you choose?

    +1111111111 Remember, FCC type accepted SSB base CB - No exports or modded Bases. I have had a lot of FCC 40ch SSB bases but "purely on asthetics" it is the DAK X. Six Shooter is right. Those 4 big meters and all the smaller lights put it over the top. Thick Brushed Aluminum 3U face and...
