Maybe just stick with the N2 barefoot and keep the amp in the closet! Simpler installation (KISS) and with a well-sorted base station antenna the N2 should do a fine job. JMHO JD

I have never set up a base station, but you seem to have a lot of stuff going on! I would start with just the radio into the antenna. You are aware that the radio has an SWR protection circuit? If all is good with just the radio, add one thing at a time. BTW in my humble opinion that radio is...

I second @Eldorado828 and his endorsement of the Quad 6! If you don't mind ponying up the cash, a West Mountain CLRspkr is a fantastic addition to the Quad 6 and any other radio you might use. JD

Judging from the disappointed one's profile, they are a new member who has only posted pissing and moaning about this radio. I smell a rat........ JD

THANK YOU!!!!!!!! JD

I have not had the issues with my NII that Dallas is describing. Of course mine has only been run mobile in a big truck, which has myriad noise issues that have to be dealt with! I find the receive very nice to listen to and adjust. The NR is great, just as good, if not a shade better than my WM...

Over the last half of this past week I have found the freeband area of 11 meter picking up a bit. Made a few contacts, with good reports on 27.425 LSB and 26.805 FM with the 5555NII in the truck! Was starting to wonder if it needed some tweaking on SSB, after watching Scott's Youtube, but all...

Turn the beep off. Button on the front. JD

Well at least Qixiang is building radios with DSP at a reasonable price that gives us a fighting chance now! JD

Get everyplace in town to shut off their LED signs, traffic lights, etc and you'll be good to go! Life in the 21st century! JD

These radios work very well right out of the box. Can they use a little tweaking? Probably. If I may suggest, go to Scotts Radios YouTube page and watch some of his videos on this radio. He does address some of the shortcomings of the factory tune, especially on the SSB side. If you have all the...

Now I have to go looking for the other one........ JD

That sure has changed a bit from the original Ares! The Ares was what the Top Gun Predator was cloned off of. If it has the NR (hopefully adjustable) it could be a winner at the right price! JD

Me thinks Jeff is getting the Big Stupid Thread Hammer ready! JD

Where's he getting 600 V1's? According to his majesty, the V2's are junk! Inquiring minds are curious...... JD

Should've put the yellow towel under that one too! JD

If space isn't a problem, the 5555NII hands down! Easier to operate mobile, about the same power, same price, it sounds better with many common microphones, etc. If space is a concern, you can't go wrong with a 6666. Mic adapters are readily available for both radios so you can use your favorite...

Surprised that didn't have the yellow towel underneath it! JD

Try it! You folks might be pleasantly surprised on what you find there! JD
