Best when fm mod set max 2.20khz for UK Europe FM dev 2.00khz max Use proper test gear ! U|- UK CB FM band (also used in Gibraltar and many UK held territory not just UK ) Good vid 👍
Thank you for posting this! I got my radio working great! I got 10 miles with no problem. That's all I had time for but I will do a max range test, both AM and FM this week
Great, I'm about to connect an amp and I just wanted to lower the power, thank you, otherwise I would have a burnt amp, greetings from ensenada, baja california mexico !!
@@JohnnyMullet A friendly question, the fm mod number 9 configuration, if you change it to ff, it will increase your modulation, that is, you will be able to listen to stations that are a little lower or quieter...
I have the Quad 5+ there are no pots nothing to turn up or lower any power then I found a forum where the guy explained exactly what you were doing for the quad 5+ pretty cool
@@JohnnyHolder-sd1mv you have to have the latest model, which is the V7version seven, I found some information where you can get into your radio through the keyboard and you can raise your wattage or you can lower it. If you’re going to use an amp you could raise your modulation lower your modulation. There are 53 different items.
The disclaimer about writing down your factory settings down before making changes should've been at the beginning of the video. Other than that, very informative video. I am new the cb radio and still learning. I just tuned my firestik antenna with an SWR meter and I instantly have better reception.
What were your original Factory settings before you changed those settings? Some dummy only wrote down the 4W and 8W settings (13 and 14). After changing to your recommended settings I'm only dead keying 2W and only swing about 6W. My web security kicks me out of the Anytone website claiming there's a Trojan associated with the site .Any help would be appreciated. Very informative video BTW. Not much info out there on these radios.
After getting your comment, I went and looked for that piece of paper with the default settings, but can't find it anywhere. When I do I will let you know. Maybe join the Anytone AT-500M Facebook page and someone there could help?
I couldn’t find the information on the Facebook page after joining the group. Maybe an older post that’s been deleted or something? What’s throwing me off is the fact that I get the same reading on a dummy load or live antenna.
Thanks, I just got mine and did the mods. Do you know of a noise canceling microphone like the Astatic or Road King that will work for this radio? I know you can get them in a 6 pin, just don't know if they would work or which one it would take. ie Cobra or President
@@philippatterson735 Get the microphone for the Bearcat 880 or 980. It is a great noise cancelling microphone that is plug and play! Be sure to go into the menu and change mike type to dynamic instead of electric.

@@jojojeep1 did you change anything and what was your numbers for high and low modulation and high low power..

Why is power high 60? I saw higher numbers in this menu option. Im curious qnd cant seem to find any guides on this secret menu. Thanks for listening.
I need the same tutorial but for the Radioddity CB-500, if anyone happens to have it. The menus definitely aren't the same.
Is there anything for AM modulation?
What about the CTCSs? I want to use it for 10m repeater. I cant seem to get the radio to work properly.
I have not messed with the CTCS settings since I use it on CB band.
Great Vid , quick question we use 26mhz in NZ ( oddball freqs I know) I noticed the UK mode , is it possible to set it for our band in NZ ?
There are a lot of bands on this radio and it goes down to 25mhz
Hi, can you change narrow/wide (2 khz/5khz band width)?
Never tried so I am not sure.

I have a question for for you? Does the radio come out of the box ready for 11 M. If not how do you convert it to 11m ?
Ready to go! Hold AM/FM button down and turn radio on at same time. Select band "D" and that would be the regular CB band.
@@JohnnyMullet thanks!
Coolest little radio! For the money? Hell yes! Thanks for the info!
How many watts are you getting with hi power set to this? In AM and FM?
7 watts AM and 17 watts FM

Nope. Never opened it up.
