Guys, please exercise a great deal of caution here. Some of the information he gave in the video and what he thinks the menus are for, is incorrect. And that second harmonic does not exist on my radios here. (Maybe this harmonic is because of the cap change OR the "alignment" of incorrect...

A quality PEP power meter will show you very close the the advertised AM power (between 55-60W PEP in my tests). So, don't worry! These are a great rig for 10m, and also 12m after the modification. 73

It is real and very very close to release.

I have a number of the Mizuho SSB/CW handhelds (I have 40/20/12/15/10/6m versions. I have never seen the 27Mhz AM version before! That's very cool. I also have a few of the Abrecht/Magnum/Cherokee/Dragon 12/11/10m SSB handheld rigs from across the different generations. The old ones work much...

Yes, there has been talks... We need a new SSB handheld! If you agree, please send Anytone (Qixiang) an email, and tell them that you want a new SSB handheld to be made. They are listening. 73

Yes just a wee price difference! But I have a Anytone Graces (CS-47) too, and it's a very nice little radio. My point is that you can make an SSB rig that works great without traditional control knobs. As long as your friends don't use Ranger radios, then you won't need to press the clarifier...

Depending on the way the UI is designed, it can work extremely well. Here is the best mobile SSB radio I have ever used, the Codan Envoy. If a hand controller SSB 11/10m radio was released, I would get one. Same goes for a small SSB rig. AT-500M2 or SR-94HPC sized would be awesome.

If you are worried about power, the best thing you could do is get yourself a decent peak reading power meter. I can recommend this one (high accuracy, good price): https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/mtn-swrmeter I have a coupe of these. They compare favourably to an LP-100A and Bird43 with...

Based on what you have said, I would strongly suggest that you do not mess with any adjustments in this radio. The question is always: what power meter are you using, and what is your test setup? (If I had to guess, I would say your radio is fine, and your power meter is not a real PEP meter...

One good reason: If you have the 6666 in a vehicle, and it powers ON and OFF with ignition, it would probably drive you crazy. Also, if you wanted to maintain some beep functionality, but lower the level of the startup beep, you could add some resistance to this point (in series with the...

My 2c -They are not a disposable radio if you have the tools and knowledge to work with them. It's a new era for radios, that needs a new set of know-how to work with. Some people are getting caught out messing with new rigs despite the warnings from us all, so that's 100% on them. I don't...

I have this cheap set and they are really good. It even came in a nice little box. You can make your own, but this is great value for money IMO. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005335886552.html

Exactly this. A few FC tips: You can often get by with adding a coupling capacitor, like a 100pf on the end of your random cliplead to reduce the loading on the circuit you are measuring. It still will load the circuit you are measuring, but not as much and might get you out of trouble. You...

The 7900v doesn't have the jumper and associated components installed on the PCB. As mentioned by @Eldorado828 the 7900v is band selectable via its firmware, while the AT-5555Nii is selected via the installed hardware jumper. 73

Insertion loss can be a big deal, and when a relay is dirty/bad, that loss increases significantly. Some can be cleaned, some you just replace. As an example, only -1dB of insertion and cable loss (a "typical" example dB loss you might see in a regular radio/ham shack), assuming a 100W TX...

Great success!

Your setup sounds good to me. It's a strange issue, and I have not seen this on any of mine before. Sorry I don't know what else to suggest. Maybe your radio has a component that is out of tolerance, which would be bad luck more than anything else. Good luck with it, I hope you can work it out! 73

That's unusual. Slight changes can happen, but 1.3 to 2.2w is big delta for this radio. A couple of things to check to rule out the radio: -Are you testing this into a dummy load, or an antenna? -What power meter are you using? -Does the result change with temperature? -Are power supply...

That is not a common problem. It is unlikely to be a firmware issue, (but it is not impossible). Have you been using an aftermarket mic on this radio? FYI, the BOOT menu is only for loading new firmware. Entering than mode wont do anything to help you unfortunately. Assuming you are in 26...

I agree 100%. FWIW, below is as an example of some "cheap" but brand-new equipment you could buy, which could get you going. But even this cheap brand-new stuff, will still cost much more than your budget - and is absolutely NOT what I would recommend if you are really serious. (You would end...
