Have just bought one. It's a nice radio and has a good receiver but it has various issues. The CW frequency seems to be offset from the actual frequency on the 10mb beacons - it tunes in better with the clarifier but that effects knowing the actual frequency. 12mb seems ok. The first bank - A - does not go below Ch9. It's a nightmare - very time consuming - to program. It does not use a spreadsheet compatible text file (eg .csv) that can be easily set up. There seems to be some twisted logic in the software design rather than keeping it simple and easy to set up and operate. I had to program it with the AT5555N QPS5555N_II 3.0.0 app. Bonus is that it allows programming for 60ch per bank and provides for more menu options. Would love Anytone \ Radioddity to sort out the various SW issues and issue firmware and programming app updates.
Great products, I own the qt40 and qt60 radios, I've made good contacts with both, purchasing the qt80 soon, thanks guys, 73's.
My came in the mail today can’t wait to get it up and running
Hi Matt! ;) These are a great radio. It can also be operated on the 12m ham band. 73

It needs a multi colour backlight and lights for knobs and switches for operate in the dark. Is light dimmable ?
I installed green led strips inside the display on my qt60, looks amazing, multicolor display would be a great idea.
@@Jake-nq3lr buy the qt 80 or ss9900 pro.
