Anytone at-5555n II (version 2)

Yes sir, negative peak compression NPC is it. The guy in the video agreed with you and didn’t recommend using it for the same reasons you mentioned. Actually I very seldom use AM. So not sure why it even peaked my interest. Maybe Anytone will improve on the feature in the future. Really no issues here with my Q5N2s.
Hi all. I'm new to hf ops, and I just took delivery of my Q5NII yesterday. Going through the function menus I noticed that mic type on my radio is set to "dynamic". It seems that I saw a video somewhere that states that the stock mic is electret. What type of mic comes with this radio? Thanks! --Rob
So, I should change the mic setting in the function settings to electret, correct? It seems like it would be pre-configured for the stock mic
Yes it's no big deal, just change to el and you're good to go!
it should be. did you buy the radio new? was an alignment done? it has the stock mic correct?
My bad. . . .when I made the original post, I was having a senior moment (going by memory)--the default setting is in fact, set to "electret". Thanks for the responses. --Rob
Hmmm, maybe I’m getting longer winded these days. Really don’t know what the issue is but a few times my transmit has gone dead and a message pops up. But my immediate reaction has been to immediately unkey without reading the warning. One of my suspicions was TOT shut down which I had left on default of 180S. I guess it could be that. SWR or voltage are the other considerations. I think I will set TOT down as low as it will go and test that as I did get a glimpse of the warning screen each time.
mash center of channel selector to flash and then change setting and mash again to accept setting
I have a couple local friends with the 5555 N2, and they are spot on frequency talking SSB. Their radios have not been tuned/aligned...just converted.
Skip was rolling heavy here in NC yesterday evening. Heard three different 5555 N2 radios, and they were all just a tad slow on transmit with no drifting. Two of three people said they were just converted...no tune up. The other did not know since he bought it used.
Anyway, the two that said they had just converted the radio, and started using it, also said they were running the radio wide open on SSB. One was driving a four transistor, and the other was barefoot.
I thought these radios were spot on from the factory, but maybe some do need an alignment. I do remember hearing Scotts Radios saying not to run the radios wide open on SSB or AM...can't remember.

I can only speak from my experience but can say both the q5n2 and 7900v turbo after Scott's alignment perform beautifully. WIDE OPEN on ssb without a problem!
