Thanks I’m going to not tempt fate and let the radio sit idle until I purchase a base antenna and the LMR 400 coax also a good new ground rod and mounting system for the antenna. I’m researching the antenna you recommended stay tuned. Cheers Roger

Hello everyone I am giving an update on my brand new Anytone at5555n II / qt 60 pro . Short version or whatever it wants to identify as . Too many rebrands . Anyway My new radio arrived today and I went to work setting it up. Power, swr , ect. First I just left the radio “stock “ out of the...

I agree ,

yep and my brand spankin new radio will be here tomorrow a.m. according to USPS yay

yes it is and it appears to be just that , someone was obviously playing around with the service menu before I bought the radio . The guys eBay page had a long list exclaiming, how good the radio was and that it was tested and that it worked perfectly that should've been my first clue along with...

I would not wish this radio on my worst enemy. I will keep it as a reminder to myself and maybe someday I will find a local ham with the equipment and expertise to ether fix it completely or I will see if some parts would be useful to myself or others .

I don’t do cc online shopping. I purchase and use gift cards such as eBay for eBay and Amazon for Amazon . Exact amount. This way if my account gets hacked no cc info for the thieves. For other purchases I call the establishment directly. Anyway I have written the purchase price of the radio off...

Ok fair enough I won’t ask . The more I think about things the more I’m leaning towards just keeping the radio stock except for the 11m mod .

Unfortunately it came with a no return or refund. I’m not going to call out a person who may or may not have been aware of the problems. I do find it hard to believe that they didn’t know. If by chance they did I will let karma handle it.Btw I did purchase a brand new unopened factory fresh...

Behave yourself lol , we all make mistakes. Mr super lid . I completely understood what the person meant.

I have done that. It doesn’t seem to work. Trust me I’m completely at a loss as to why . Thank you for your input.

Thank you , I might give him a try . I will definitely contact him about maybe doing a full setup on my new radio . Do you have an email address for Scott’s ?

Thanks PEZ AND NOMADRADIO for clues/suggestions about my radio issues. I will try the tone through the mic on ssb as per suggestions. Nomadradio, I believe you are on the right track. There are other issues with this radio that are popping up, those combined with the ssb issue are causing a...

Update on the Anytone at5555n II Well I have changed out the antenna today, still same swr problems on SSb . Now new issues have come to light. Not going into all of them , just suffice it to say my diagnosis is the radio will now become a doorstop/parts machine. I have a brand new replacement...

Oh and btw everyone I have been studying up to get my ham tickets once again. After 30 plus years so one day You will hear me on whatever band is open . Guess I’d better hurry so I can catch some good solar cycles. 73s

You know that’s a good question, I will look at that. I still can’t believe that the onboard swr meter and the Surcom swr meter can both be so close in their measurements and have the Surecom not work on SSb considering the Surecom is labeled HF 1.6-70Mhz 120w Given my understanding that HF...

Well thank you for the response, yea I can hope or at least have a few spare parts, lol. I am pretty confident in the mag mount considering it gives such a low swr on am and fm and only acts up on SSB with a 2.9 or 3.2 Am and fm gives me 1.2-1.3 across all channels 1-40. I am looking at a new...

I wanted to thank you for your reply and say that here is SW Arizona I have heard you loud n clear a few times when I I had my ft891 tuned to frequency.

First off thank you all for the response,.I’m an old ham that’s been out of the game for 30 years and I did serve 3 years a a signal man in the 82nd Airborne Division 19801983 . So I have some background in communications.My mos was 31M but was cross trained on all radios vhf/ uhf ect including...
