Anytone 5555n

Maybe it just means he hasn't had much for ham gear.
Sensitivity itself isn't much of a problem. Designing a quiet receiver is a bigger challenge.
I know a few guys that have both and love them. So no i dont think they are turds...
Not taking slides here but I love both of my at-6666 rigs. Now being in radio for quite a few years I can only compare them to the radios they were built to rival which is most "black box" exports like the galaxy, Ranger, magnum etc. Of all the ones I've owned or own the at-6666 works much better in performance for me. I can only speak for myself and my likings, so whatever works for you right! If your 5555n works for you then that's great it's your radio!
I regularly use a receiver that is .25uV @10dB S+N/N .
I don't know how long I could listen to a 1,0uV at 10dB SINAD receiver before my ears started bleeding.
I know it isn't exactly apples to apples so forget that argument.
My FT-857D beats that spec and makes my ears bleed.
I know the 5555 isn't nearly my TS830 and doesn't pretend to be. Still a 1uV @ 10 dB is nothing to celebrate.In fact .25uV is about where a quality receiver starts these days.
I've never seen a "CB" radio "Export" or otherwise that could match the performance of my TS-830S.
Rob Sherwood, KC0B mean anything to you ?

I have also owned both 555 and 6666 and did like the 5555N better. Only drawback was the microphone plug.

Just an update..I have renewed my license for those of you that were so concerned..I still have my 5555n and a brand new icom 7200..The anytone beats that one to on 10 meters.The rx is just a biit more sensitive and the noise blanker on the 5555n is 10 times better than the icom..Yes i have EARS on my head and i know what i can hear and what i can't..The anytone 5555n has a very impressive receiver indeed
