Not by software, Some people who knows how to do it, but can’t share how to do it yet confirmed that to enter the engineering menu is by a combination of Mic buttons, ptt and the switches on the radio have a certain position… I’m just waiting to see if someone posts how to do it… The radio definitely needs some adjustments..

Mine will be here Friday from Scott’s radios…
I just ordered one from Amazon. I am going to get an RFX95HD to put on the back.
I'm not sure what they're going for elsewhere, but I saw that Anderson Radio Supply has them listed for 179.00
I agree with @undertaker they are supposed to be a nice clean talking machine or at least that's what some of the dealers are showing.
Yep, the 'normal' Anytone radio alignment could help an ARES II in the same way it helps a AT-5555Nii. It can improve things a little, but not a lot, because they are generally quite good as they are. The normal procedure is (as you touched on):
- Lower the SSB drive (ALC) for a clean 2-tone on the scope
- Increase AM modulation to 100% (ish)
- Increase FM Dev to around 3k, which is the "normal" dev level I see that works on both 2.5k (NFM) and 5k (FM) systems with good results.
My ARES II out of the box is pretty good everywhere, with nothing done to it. It could probably do with some minor adjustments (as above), but it is still performing well for me. It is not a huge AM talker / big swing radio... But it is very clean with solid performance (I keep NPC OFF). I use FM and SSB mostly, with very good reports. At lest on my radio, there would only be minor gains to be had (I guess we need to wait and see if the alignment information becomes available in the future).

Very happy with it.
The one I ordered from China finally arrived through DHL. Their tracking is great, shows you on a map exactly where your package is and how many stops away you are. Checking it out now.

Fun times!!
Oh.. and how about that Pabst BR. I'll have one with you, but mine will be Corona today.
I am happy to report that this radio is the winner that we were all hoping for. The switches on the front have the things you need. Except Roger beep is in the menu, not a big deal, I don't usually use it. Out of the box, it does 45w in every mode. Even FM, be careful with that, I wonder how much heat that would generate? It has a real channel selector that doesn't skip. It has DSP noise reduction for tx and rx and they are independently adjustable without going into the menu. Anytone set the bar really high with this one.
