Seriously? Well, going back over a few of your other posts around the forum. All questions I may have had about you... Answered... lol. The very REASON I am asking others about this anomaly in the radio, is because I am trying to (just that) DECIDE, whether I want to return it, or keep it. If...

Having owned numerous incarnations of the 2950 over the years, I can relate with what's said in that article excerpt ^^^. However, my 2950's never had a meter that show a constant noise floor on the meter, when there is none. But a "white noise" effect? Yeah... A friend of mine recently bought...

Houston... We have a BINGO ^^^ Thank you, sir. This is exactly what I was wanting to know. You seem to have the exact same issue that my radio displays. And make no mistake, this is NOT "normal", however it may very well be "typical" for THIS radio, which is exactly what I was trying to find...

I would LOVE to do that. And I tried to do that in my very first post on this issue. I was able to take video on my I-phone, and transfer it to my PC successfully, but when I tried to "attach files", I was unable to. So I went and did the same thing with my Panasonic Lumix camera. I took a very...

Let me see if I am understanding this ^^^ correctly. Correct me if I got this wrong... You took "two 5/8 wave for (I assume you meant 'four') foot Firestick antennas and configured them as 1.25 wave dipole"? Are you using a tuner with that? What do the SWR's look like, untuned? Just...

I'm pretty much right on the cusp of sending this radio back. I love most things about the radio, but the number one thing I wanted was a nice sensitive and quiet receive. Is there anyone else that has this issue? In a nutshell: A 5555N2 that NEVER shows less than a 4 S-unit indication on...

Exactly why I bought one! That's why I am so bummed that I got one that's doing this. Just my luck, though. I assume he has a high noise floor in general, on ALL his radios. Because of local RFI. Considering that my locale is nice and quiet, and yet my noise floor reading on this radio is...

Thanks for the reply! Interesting, because yours sounds just like mine. Although I believe mine is a little worse, based on your numbers. Having a 5 S-unit noise floor and having to use NR 3 to make it livable. If I back down the RF gain to where there's only one S-unit (or so), there is way...

Not mine. And if it did, it would likely affect all my radios on 10 meters and not just the new one.

I definitely value your opinion, especially after perusing your QRZ page. I'll try addressing a few of your points, one at a time. Yes, I did look at your videos after you first referred me to them. Personally, the FTDX10 (in my view) works far and away better than the 450 and the 5555. But...

Hi, and thanks again for your response and the previous one. The first thing I did last Wednesday after noticing the issue I have described, is disconnect the antenna. Radio displayed zero signal with zero noise, as it should. This is why I was so sure that I have a faulty receive in this...

OK, so I attempted to post a video demonstrating the problem I am having with this new 5555N2 I just bought, but it appears that I can not. The video showed both the noise and the signal indication on the new 5555N2 at the same frequencies, and in the same mode as 4 other radios that I compared...

So I received my package yesterday. A new 5555N2. Been familiarizing myself with it, somewhat. I've found a lot of things I really like, and a few things that I don't like, but it could be a matter of me just not understanding something correctly. Instead of trying to address everything at...

What finals does that TS have in it? Original Toshiba's? Or was it a more recent DX-500? Just curious to know what stood up to that overdrive onslaught!

I have a scope, spectrum analyzer, and and a signal generator. The main gist of my initial post, was just to find out if this radio had service menu alignment exclusively, or if there were any internal alignment components, like VR's, Loops, etc... I'm sure that even with the SMT board and...

Hey, thanks for the response. Yeah, I've read a lot of good things about this radio since the new version came out. Truth is, I have an IC-7610, but with the way things are looking, I want to ensure that I have a good back up communications transceiver. That way, if anything happens to my Icom...

I have one of these radios (the Q5N2) ordered, and will get it sometime next week. I have a quickie question for those familiar with this rig. I've owned all the inital 10/11 radios since the 80's, including the HR2510, RCI-2950. the Emperor 5010, Magnum 257, etc... I am familiar with...
