    Radioddity QT 40 microphone issue

    The QT40/ARES 2 does this when the resistance on the PTT line is higher than it should be. Try some contact cleaner on the PTT switch, and the UP/DN buttons. If it still has the issue, it is likely that the wiring in the curly cord is adding to the issue. A new MIC will almost always fix the...

    Anytone at5555n II high swr on ssb , low swr on am and fm

    You can check SWR in SSB mode, or in any mode for that matter. However the SWR meters ability to respond correctly the the rapid changing amplitude in SSB is the main limitation. One way to test SWR in SSB mode on almost any meter (cheap or expensive), is to transmit a constant audio tone...

    Anytone at5555n II high swr on ssb , low swr on am and fm

    Welcome! :) I would try a different antenna if you can also. Mag mounts are often bad news, they can cause all sorts of issues with common mode current, poor grounding (even when it tests ok with a multimeter), etc. Hopefully you will end up with 2 good radios. You can't ever have too many...

    Anytone at5555n II high swr on ssb , low swr on am and fm

    It could have had the service menu messed with - potentially causing a PA / oscillation problem to occur due to incorrect bias settings, or by the incorrect adjustment of other settings relating to the TX stage. Returned radio's that have have the service menu messed with are a big problem...

    Anytone At-6666 Pro

    20Hz is annoying on SSB when it can be better than that. A solution is very close, which includes the reference oscillator adjustment. 73

    Anytone At-6666 Pro

    Thanks for the info. That is an interesting one. What does the LCD report as the SWR value when this occurs? Does the displayed SWR peak higher than it should with modulation, and drop again without modulation, or does it "hang" (maybe indicating self oscillation). Also, can you try a different...

    If you have S3+ noise floor on your base and access to the internet - read this

    I have used RM Noise with a Hermes Lite 2, with Thetis. It's performance is actually amazing. I have almost zero noise floor at my QTH anyway, but the ability for RM to pull signals from below the noise floor is incredible. The only "annoyance" for me is the round trip processing delay, and the...

    Anytone At-6666 Pro

    Good stuff. The TX bandwidth setting applies to SSB only. See "TONE" in the menu. You can see set result, on a LSB transmission here: https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/anytone-at-6666-pro.268405/post-844461 73

    Frequency Counter

    I have the TF930 and I love mine! I prefer it over a HP that I have. I reference mine to a GPSDO. I added a 10MHz BNC input to the rear panel, for neatness, and I use the front as a 10MHz output if I need another 10MHz source. It has a built-in battery for portable use (I never use it...

    AT-5555N2 short version

    They are both very close. But the AT-5555Nii short case will end up slightly shorter than the AT-6666 PRO, as the mic plug and SO-239 will protrude out a bit further on the PRO. (Note: The heatsinks are lined up to a straight edge in these pics, and BNC adaptors are fitted. 73

    AT-5555N2 short version

    A summary of the changes between the original and the latest "short case" version: - No more VFO RX muting - CTCSS TONE readout (Hz) and CTCSS scanning. - WX RX, with VHF RX VFO from 136-174MHz FM. - Channel overwrite issues of the old radios, fixed - LCD dimmer control - VOX improvements...

    Radioddity QT-60 *Pro*

    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. 73

    Anytone At-6666 Pro

    It is true - failures can happen to any device. But "bugs" are something different to a failure. (When bugs exist they will be present in most, to all units). What issue did you have?
