> 24 hourThe first unit I got was defective, sent it back with no problem. I was sent a new one before I could sent the first one back. I got the new one and this one works great and looks great too, however I am new to this hobby and working on getting a ham license so just listening for now. I believe this to be a good unit to start with for the money.

> 24 hourI agree with the other review. I had a 2510 in the 90s and this radio is as good or better. Jumped OP1 with solder and a few adjustments on the pots which are marked and it was ready to go. Great RX and TX is a swinging monster. SSB is on frequency from the factory. I have two. One for a base station and the other for my big truck at work. Love it!

> 24 hourThis rig is terrific for the price. As others have noted, it uses the same new board as the newest generation of the Stryker 955, a fabulous radio. Its like getting the performance of the Stryker for just a bit more than half price. Transmit audio is excellent on all modes just using the stock mic. The radio is rock stable on sideband. There is no drifting. Mine arrived spot on frequency from the factory. The receiver is excellent also, very smooth sounding on all modes. My only complaint is the use of a RJ-45 jack for the mic. Anytone cheaped out on that. Yes, I know that many ham rigs use them. I have many and hate it on those rigs as well. They are cheap and the mic connectors break easily. Anytone had plenty of room to fit a standard 4 or 6 pin jack, making it easier to wire up amplified mics. Aside from that one issue, which can be remedied with an adapter, this is THE rig to get for the mobile or a nice base setup with a power supply. Great job Anytone.

> 24 hourI grew up in the 90s using a President HR2510 and until I bought this radio nothing else ever compared to how good it was. Im happy to say that this radio feels like a step up from the legendary quarter dime. It is like the users of those radios decided what a new radio needs to compete and be better right out of the box and got it right. Receive is quiet on background noise but super sensitive. The multi segmented S meter is so precise I can almost pinpoint which vehicle someone is transmitting from on the road. Power and swing is phenomenal. The AM ANL variable pot inside the radio controls the forward drive. You can dead key 1/2 a watt and swing 40 if you want with no other mods. Noise blanker works better than my expensive Yaesu FT1200. Audio on the air and out of this radio is just superb. You really cant compare this to anything else on the market. The new Lincoln II+ falls short of being this good. Programmable roger beep. Software lets you make anything you want. Adjustable echo. This will be my rig of choice for both CB and 10 meters for years to come. I own the Anytone 6666 also but prefer this radio because of the display and controls being easier to use and speaker audio is much better.

> 24 hourIve been out of CB radio for several decades. Wanted to get back into it with a base/mobile radio. I did a lot of research before buying this 5555n. I was also looking at the Galaxy and Ranger brands. Ham and CB forums give this radio high marks. The price was great, so I bought it. Glad I did. I did the blob thing to UP1 to enable 11m CB, and put the cover back on. Band D is preprogrammed for CB 0-40. Thats all it needed. Xmit into a dummy load it puts out 20w AM, and 30-35ssb. It can be turned down to about 2-3 to drive a linear.

> 24 hourRadio is good, same board as the stryker 955 v2, it does have a overly sensitive receiver that could be a problem if you live in a noisy area.

> 24 hourNice radio, Only issue they dont make the CTCSS board for it any more. Need to find and optional outboard unit. Otherwise its useless on 10M repeaters! Tone board can be found , can be purchased from Stryker direct its a perfect fit, works well.
