About the Q5N2, I just bought two of them. I received the long version, but I also bought the QT60 and received the pro version, which is the Q5N2 short version. They are nice radios. I have the Lincoln 2+ with RWOB and NPC mods, and the modulation is higher than the Q5N2 or QT60P, but those two are definitely great radios. I tried the NPC mod from the Q5 Plus thread in the Q5N2, but I didn't see much of a difference, to be honest, so I removed it. I did the AM modulation mods in the service menu but nothing else. I can see my three radios peak in AM about 70W PEP on a Bird power analyst, not the 43P. The Bird is very well calibrated, and I'm happy with that. The Lincoln gets about 50W PEP. I don't know if I can push it more in the variables inside. I did the RWOB and set up the maximum average power the same as without the RWOB. I see more PEP, which is fine.
I hope I can get some advice, but probably I'm not going to do anything else to those radios. By the way, the Lincoln was secondhand, and the echo doesn't work. It's a little hard to find the problem in those tiny parts.
