This Awesome "10 Meter Radio" Has a SECRET!

I wanted a new 10 meter radio for the shack - after a heap of researching I finally settled on this - the Anytone AT-5555N II.
It has a bunch of sweet features, missing on a lot of similarly priced budget 10 meter radios, plus a hidden secret or two.

Build an EASY 10 Meter (or 11m) Vertical Antenna for DX! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGLOXqyYh7N1f6c

[@FernandoGonzalez-jh4tr]

It would be perfect if It would have had Split function

[@johnfloy]

I recently installed one of these radios in my truck and I have been very impressed with it. Just using a browning 49 inch whip trimmed down to 45 in for 10m. I have been getting contacts from all over. Got from Oklahoma to Brazil as my first contact. East coast to west coast of the USA no issues. Fun stuff!

[@mostlypostie1]

FYI - don't forget It's a 12m radio also. :) And try setting the RXNR (DSP Noise Reduction) to 1 or 2 - it works amazingly well! I have a heap of 10m radios and this is by far the most impressive performer of the lot (my test bench agrees too). 73

[@bills1613]

IT'S A SHAME NOT TO HAVE THE RADIO SHACK 10 METER RIGS STILL AVAILABLE BUT LOOKS LIKE THIS WILL FIT THE BILL.

[@crlguitar1]

Very nice demonstration of this rig. I chuckled at the 'alter' to make it work 11 & 12 meters too. A bit pricey but I may buy one of these.

[@Dallas-Rife-UDX-347-Tennessee]

Great video . These radios are making other manufacturers take notice . Very good sounding radio right out of the box . Very professional looking rig A huge amount of radio for the money . (P.S. ,, when properly tuned and aligned , these things sound amazing and really perform on 11 meter AM and SSB as well) 73’s KK4ISW

[@mikehosken4328]

My first rig was a 10m rig. A good old radio shack htx 10. Does everything that your one does except ctss and only 25 watts of power. I had it mounted in the car for years using a chopped down cb antenna. Lots of dx contacts during the summer months. It’s totally worth getting a 10m rig, lots of fun mobile and handy in the shack when hooked up to its own antenna.

[@DrewToner]

And BTW, I built your 10M antenna, and found that it worked very well, on multiple bands. Worked so well, we used it at this years hamfest!! Thanks very much for your instructions.

[@HamRadioDX]

That's awesome! Glad it worked so well for you

[@ox6466]

You mentioned this radio does not have any connections to connect to a computer or laptop to use WSJTX, but you can use a laptop microphone and a headphone. Couple the headphone to the radio mic, and the laptop mic next to the radio speaker. Then enable VOX mode on the radio. PRO: Works great with any radio/no connections or adapters needed. Con: must have a silent environment to prevent unintentional transmissions.

[@norrlins]

Great radios. I would recommend getting the heat transfer paste re Done on the heatsink and the audio chip heatsink. As the factory blob in the middle is worthless. And that why they get hot especially on fm. Also have the meter calibrated as factory standard they stop at 9 and don't read above 9. And finally have the squelch properly set up. As from factory set up it blocks low signals with the noise. Properly set it allows signal to come through but stops the noise level breaking through. Then a great radio becomes an amazing radio. Cheers 73s

[@miker8379]

I’ve got the older one. Absolutely love it. You can customize channels.

[@Littrell1966]

Can't wait to see it paired with the digirig!!!

[@D4.4]

I have a quad 6. It works really well, it's currently hooked up to an old Itron 27MHz multi stage aerial which works great right across 10 & 11m. I have had great audio reports come back to me. It isn't without its quirks but once you're aware of how it works it's easy enough to set up how you want. I also don't have CTCSS so accessing some of the repeaters is problematic. The user manual is somewhat useless though. Anyways great video as per usual Hayden and I'll keep an ear out for you in VK3. Cheers

[@alanslade2319]

Great rigs but I get what you mean about the plug. But still love it cheers for the show. Please keep the information coming very interesting. Alan in England CT .48.70 all the 73 .🇬🇧👍

[@gregf9160]

Looks like a really nice radio, for what it is, to be honest. Thanks Hayden 🤗👍

[@JeremyPritchard-we4dz]

I have the Version 1 of this radio, Ver 1 & 2 are also sold under the French CRC brand. Ver1early units - generally did not have the CTCSS/DCS circuit board, simply sourced one from a UK CB shop & plugged it in, presto - it works perfectly! RF Power on the Version 1 series is factory lower compared to Version 2. The radio you buy today will be a Ver 2. You can program via computer, different frequency channel allotments and set them for one of the designated 'bands' @ 40 max channels per band, for example, I've programmed UK CB channels on one band, Aussie and PNG 27Mhz Marine channels on another, kept one of the bands for the FCC/AUS/EU 40ch allotment, and another set for the New Zealand 26Mhz CBRS. One band I've kept at 26.000Mhz for stuff about purpose, study. Per this video, CB users will also appreciate the CTCSS/DCS function vis reason - whilst squelch and ASQ are all fine and dandy, some CB users might appreciate that ability to program a HOME channel, that won't be disturbed by other radio users breaking through squelch and waking the family and farm at 3am:-) You achieve that quite home life - by activating CTCSS/DCS, (works on FM mode only, by design) - choose one of those CTCSS/DCS Codes and set same for both TX and RX (transmit & receive) on ALL radios your family network will use. Choose then - an UNALLOCATED CB channel:- this means *NOT* Channel 09 (Emergency), Channel 11 (AM/FM Call Ch - Pacific), Channel 19 (US Road Channel), Channel 35 (SSB/LSB Call Channel Earth), nor Channel 38 (US/Nth America SSB/LSB Call Channel). So do avoid sitting on SSB used channels, [and of course, stay off all ham bands, unless you've gained that license]. Outcome; even with the squelch OFF, on your chosen CTCSS/DCS channel of choice, the radios will stay dead silent on that channel alone, no matter how strong a passing signal might be on it, or regardless the received modes of that transmission, *unless* it receives that exact Code you've chosen, only then - will it open up for you to hear the inbound transmission! Increasing numbers of CB's with FM mode will have CTCSS/DCS - even FCC approved items, but do check, as this function is worth having for family life. Note that others not using CTCSS/DCS - will always hear your transmission, as CTCSS/DCS is not radio encryption, CTCSS/DCS simply cuts them out for you. Therefore, keep sensitive personal information off air.

[@geraldscott4302]

I have this radio under the Radioddity brand. The board looks identical. The controls are identical. They are the same radio. I bought this radio even though my Icom 718 has both 10 and 12 meters, and puts out max 100 watts. It does what I bought it for perfectly.

[@dxscotland5901]

I bought the ss7900 v it has 12m aswel and it works great!

[@WESDEANEMARTIN]

I just got this radio and love it. Me and a fellow ham (VE7WJN, whom you'll probably remember from your FT8 CQ a few days back) helped me to give this a test. Sounds great on all modes! Cheers! -Wes VE7WDM

[@HamRadioDX]

That's awesome Wes!

[@robertclymer6948]

I want to get into other than CB radio, but this talk is way over my head and understanding at this point in time. I am currently studying the frequencies of all the bands. Kinda looking for a mobile rig 135.700 - 137.800 KHZ Ham for emergency use only, Dooooh! Now gotta research what is 10 Meter or 11 Meter and what catagory that fits into to. Thanks for sharing, will come back with more knowledge. Cheers from Michigan usa

[@Indypackrat]

This was my first HF Radio and man did I have some good times on it. I keep it in the car so if I want to do some quick 10 meter I just put up my 10 meter shark stick and I'm on the air in like 5 mins

[@HamRadioDX]

That's awesome!

[@nathanjackson6874]

So at first I was thinking this would be a throwback to the Magnum 257 & Radio Shack HTX-10. But this seems so much more robust and inclusive. Definitely liking the nearly 6 MHz of AM/FM/SSB flexibility!

[@robertlyman9789]

The quad 6 is smaller, does a lot also

[@paulsradiohacks]

Really nice looking radio, and yes 10m is picking right up lately.

[@43PR50]

Good video, thanks! Btw, there are some simplex repeaters from JA on the low end of 29Mhz too. 29.020, 29.050, 29070, 29.090 and 29.110FM with CTCSS tone of 88.5Hz ( and tons more on 11m 😂) 73

[@HamRadioDX]

Oh sweet! I never knew! Japan is really easy from here in VK when the band opens!

[@davidboughman138]

Wow! After the white wire adjustment and pin 2 and 3 was changed from 1 and 2, this radio put out nice with no tinkering with power or software or firmware or anything. Nothing needs to he done, but use. I don't like the mic that comes with it, because of the build or the keys to change channels. It's just in the way. Have a 4 pin conversion cable on the way and I'll use my trusty old Astatic. You can use your ranger or those new Cobra mics are pretty nice

[@bills1613]

What about setting up or being able to work SPLIT??? Nice that it's got 12 meters too! Nice vid, TNX.

[@EdzashedFudwinkle]

I have the CRT SS6900n & SS9900, both great 10/11m radios 12m too on the 9900 55w Ssb 45w UK40Fm 👍

[@titankiller666]

That's a really good radio I have two of them and one anytone 6666 all converted to 11 and talking around the world with no issues thanks to Mother Nature's skip in the solar cycle and for the price you can't go wrong😎💯🇨🇦👍👍

[@HamRadioDX]

Mother nature wasn't kind to me yesterday haha! It will pick up, I think we had a CME blocking propagation.

[@spaceflight1019]

​@@HamRadioDXA index was in the 30s yesterday, in the 40s today, so I don't expect much.b

[@spaceflight1019]

Mower Junkie just reviewed the Radioddity version of this. The biggest problem is that you'll need an adapter for converting to the RJ-style mike plug. Don't know if anyone makes them. Snipping the white wire and moving the jumper enables 11 meters, receive only, just like the old Siltronix 1011(wink, wink). Very handy to check propagation and 25 MHz WWV.

[@RayDabkowski]

I'll need to add VK7HH to my HamAlert triggers. Maybe someday in this cycle. 😊

[@HamRadioDX]

Great way to find me on air!

[@HamRadioPrep]

Great review Hayden! 10m has been seeing some great propagation stateside, and for US hams this is a great radio to buy if you're a technician who wants to hop on the 10m phone allocation. 73!

[@HamRadioDX]

And it’s only going to get better! Love 10m!

[@indridcold8433]

On this day, the 18th of October, 2023, the solar flux index is 144 with 92 sunspots. It should make for fair propagation in 12, 11, 10 metres.

[@jeffrobodene1485]

This is radio is related to the Radioddity QT60 10/12 Meter Radio. I have the Radioddity QT60 and absolutely love the radio. The Radioddity is 10/12 meter. Cut that white wire, restart the radio and now it is a 10/11/12 meter radio.

[@Thomas-ZET]

Thanks for the info, really like the 12 meter, just opened mine and oh darn the wire was accidentally cut and jumper somehow got moved

Thanks for a great review Hayden. Your friend from Up Yonder KO4HPC 73 :)

[@HamRadioDX]

Thanks for watching mate!

[@vlfreak]

Thanks for the video Hayden.. Great radios (ive had an earlier version and have a sy73 (quad-6) currently), but i do wonder why they stick with the large form-factor, given the actual PCB size ?.. Plenty of features for the money without being as overloaded as some of our other HF rigs (i also have ft 891 and 710aess)

[@HamRadioDX]

Yeah, it is a rather large unit... and the heatsink is relatively small, so it's not like that's taking up all the room!

[@indridcold8433]

An amateur radio operator brought a Yaesu FT-710aess to me March 2023. He wanted me to check it out for him. He was not getting it to transmit, according to him. I, not being an amateur radio operator, tested the radio on a dummy load. I found nothing wrong with it. However, the owner has never returned for it. The telephone number is disconnected, the email goes unanswered. I have been thinking of taking it out of the box and playing with it. I just feel guilty because it is not mine. There is no rule against listening to it.

[@MatFarringtonInfo]

If you're considering second-hand, then note the older 5555s don't have CTCSS by default, so always ask. There is an upgrade board but it's rare as hens teeth now. (I have the 6666 with the same CTCSS board.)

[@HamRadioDX]

Is that the version 1 and not the “II” version?

[@MatFarringtonInfo]

@@HamRadioDX yes.

[@CrazyBossDK]

I have the first version (looks like the same, but not the same hardware and USB dataport on mine) The one you got there also have very good noise filters.

[@aandpman]

I have the earlier version like you. Used at home when I was a tech. Now it's mounted in my truck. (Cheaper to get stolen than my ft891). On a 2/70/10/6m quad band mobile antenna I've worked ZL, CO, IT, JP, S.A.... from Texas while driving. I lay the mic on my thigh & cruise up & down 28.3-28.55 with the up/dn buttons until I hear someone. 73's K5MWA.

[@indridcold8433]

That data port is actually just a standard serial port configured into a miniUSB jack. It is used for some mild changing of perimeters. It is not a data communications port. You can put in your callsign on the display, which is fun, if you have one. Though, I am not an amateur radio operator, with a 259 centimetre, vertical whip antenna, (102 inches for Texans and American😁) on the back of an old Jeep, I was able to communicate with Uruguay. Of course, this was on 35 USB. I can not use 10 metres, legally. I am not an amateur radio operator.

[@Podster133]

New Subscriber here. 👍. Only just found your channel. Thanks for sharing this video. Great advice and content 👌. I, have always loved 10 meters ( since i was licensed in 1996 ) and funnily enough, I was thinking about a " dedicated " 10/11 radio.

It's also identicle to the CRT SS7900 as I have this one radio. I also have the CRT SS990 and the CRT SS600 coing in the post

[@GrymWorks-A.I.]

I remember when the RCI2950 came out. Had to run out and buy one. Pop the cover and you are greeted with a series of jumpers for some reason...

[@HamRadioDX]

No idea what those jumpers did though hey? ;-)

I have two president Lincolns with that white wire. Some how that wire got broken and the radio suddenly had 10 40 channel banks. Strange thing that white wire.

[@HamRadioDX]

Very strange!

[@MAGNETAR-187]

The same white wire and jumper is also present in President radios like the President MC Kinley EU version if you cut the white wire you get the same frequencie bands! This method is called modifying the radio to an export version!!!

I was just looking on eBay and there are Cobra 4 pin round to modular adapters to use on these rigs

[@drhydro8346]

the Stryker version 2 has a ctcss board build in, and it will do repeaters. the version 1 stryker doesn't come with a ctcss board.

[@drsysop]

I tried it on 11 meters & its ok there & it will go down to 26000 MHz so it will cover the New Zealand frequencies. What I not like about it is the mic connector.

[@niftyfiftycampingadventure795]

Its the outstanding radio in a bunch of also rans.. The Noise reduction circuit actually works.. I use mine for Portable static work.. on 10, 11, and 12m Not sure . But guessing some Yaesu Mic"s may work rather well with this radio...My only quip is the function buttons do not have backlight for easy use in darkness.. Overall 8.5/10 73s HS0ZOU..

[@ocsrc]

We need Baeofeng to start making 10 meter and Shortwave and a scanner that does dmr, nxdn, open sky, and phase 2 simulcast I remember when you had to pay 500 dollars for a tri band radio Now baeofeng gives you a radio with the same features for 30 dollars The greed of the companies for 100 years is over for the tri band. Now 18 mhz to 1.3 ghz full coverage. Thank you Baoefeng

[@jamess1787]

No way. 😂. Don't want any spurs on the spectrum I'm transmitting on 😉

Think about it. In the 80s, 90s a dual band uhf/VHF radio was 350.00 A 222, VHF, uhf was 500.00 The parts to make those radios cost 10 dollars All the rest was greed And I thought, now that Baeofeng is in the market these companies will cut their prices. Nope Now that says a lot I would rather not sell a radio I would rather go out of business than to sell at a reasonable amount of money The 900 Uniden scanner costs 30 dollars to make And they pay .48 cents an hour to their workers, no extra for overtime WHY ??!! Because they can And they are greedy If they said we want to make sure we pay every employee 50.00 an hour, so the radio has to cost 900, I WOULD BUY ONE JUST TO SUPPORT THAT TYPE OF CARING but they are the opposite Thank you Baeofeng I look forward to your All band digital phase 2 scanner the BF-2D Retailing for 69.99 That does NXDN, DMR, and phase 2 simulcast digital I will but 10 of them

[@solomioist]

1:23 the white wire looks like a jumper wire. Old ham radios have a lot of wires on the circuit board (even the high end ones). It is not necessary a bad thing, it just increases cost while manufacturing.

[@scott-in-dfw3005]

Yeah. We know what it is and what happens if you snip it.

[@eagle9800]

Hi Hayden. Just having another look at the band mod my dealer shows holding menu & EMG while turning on. Then can pick band 1 or 2. Have you tried this? Thanks Steve.

[@spaceflight1019]

Just as it did last fall, the upper HF spectrum has opened up and the world is your oyster, whether you're a ham, freebander, or SWL. You don't need big power either; yesterday I worked two stations from England easily although one ran 10 watts and the other 20.

[@stubut100]

Most hams don't scoff at CB, because most were CB'ers for years before they got their ham licenses. Many were, or are and have been CB'ers back since the 1980's or earlier. A large amount of hams still own and operate CB radios. The average 2 meter radio that usually utilizes repeaters will easily match most CB radios in coverage even without repeaters when on 146.520 or other simplex frequencies. They're not scoffing at CB radios, but they do scoff and some operators and operating practices, just as they also criticize some of their own operators on nightime 80 meters.

Almost £400 in the UK on Amazon. For this region, the ft891 is surely a better choice, more power and full HF coverage. That's not to say I don't think this radio is any good, thanks for the detailed review as always!

Or looking at it another way, a third the price of an IC-7300, but hardly a third of what you get in the 7300.

Interessante como os desejos por equipamentos são diferentes em cada região do planeta. Tenho notado uma certa quantidade de colegas comentando sobre a falta de CW neste equipamento. Em alguns países, é um modo muito popular. Aqui no Brasil é um esporte muito odiado. Temos alguma atividade de CW que é praticada por uma pequena quantidade de operadores de rádio. Nossa legislação até exige conhecimento de CW, mas, em geral, aprende-se apenas para obter a licença.

How many amp power supply does it need Thanks?

[@HamRadioDX]

At least 15A

Will Anytone void warranty for cutting the white wire ???

[@macgyver5108]

0:10 you mean a 5²? 🤪BTW, you add an "extra" O to Radi-oddity...😉

[@rdsii64]

Does the QT60 have the white wire?

[@HamRadioDX]

Not sure, I haven't seen inside a QT60, but they look to be the same radio

[@skr3wb4llsr40]

I just cannot afford one. Not a bad price for the features. My buddy has one and is very happy

[@TonyLing]

Ultimately, all of those sorts of radios are predicated around banks of 40 channels and I found them not great for amateur browsing. They don't resolve to enough decimal places for a start.

Do I need an antenna tuner with this rig?

[@HamRadioDX]

Only if your antenna is not resonant for the frequencies you wish to use it on.

[@njw1977]

What kind of range would you normally get without this solar cycle. I realize range is determined by many things.

[@HamRadioDX]

Groundwave maybe 20-30 miles. But every spring/summer (regardless of solar cycle) you will be Sporadic E that can carry your signal thousands of miles away

[@njw1977]

@@HamRadioDX That's it? I can get 20 to 30 miles with my 50w GMRS.

The display font is like an old RCI 2950

[@HamRadioDX]

Yeah pretty similar. I had one of those too years ago - but it failed on me. Bad caps I think

[@KaL_Tero_Vet_RET]

I still have my first ever, an old 2510. But it's sick these days...only on xmit, rx great

@@KaL_Tero_Vet_RET My first 10m radio was a Radio Shack HTX-100, similar to the 2510.

A 10M rig with no CW mode? No thanks!

[@daveedwards5951]

I'd buy it if it did....for sure!

[@Lugeix]

There is a lot of empty space in that box. They could have made it way smaller.
