Love these post. Takes me back to 1977 when I worked at a CB/Stereo store. Still have my Cobra 23 channel base station!
As I recall 1977 was the year they went to 40 channels?
@@Hubjeep Well I’m 62 and it could have been 1976. Long time ago but you may be correct.
Yes! 77 was the year 40 channel radio came around. There were still a lot of great 23 channel radios that were sold up to at least 1979 or so.
@@FarpointFarms Thanks Check out this electronics company (Lafayette) which was HQ'ed a couple towns away from me, it sounds like the 40 channel switch hurt them. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lafayette_Radio_Electronics
"(FCC) expanded a new citizens band radio ("CB") spectrum to 40 channels in 1977. Lafayette's buyers had firm commitments to accept delivery of thousands of older design units capable of only 23 channels, and were not able to liquidate the inventory without taking a serious loss. Eventually, all of the old CB radios were sold for under $40."
If you have L E D lites that may cause that noise you here
I want to put a base in my garage for when I am working/restoring. This is an excellent contender. Thanks for this!
Glad it was helpful!
I work this radio ( sold as the French CRT 7900V in Europe ) almost every day - it is seriously one of the best equiped mobile transceivers for that price. The digital NR filter in the latest mode works in 5 steps and is fully functional. I made DX contacts to the States with it so many times in the last weeks ( on 12W PEP, ch 38 LSB ) from the west coast of Europe, propagation is great at the moment. Greetings from Belgium, love your channel !
Thank you fine sir- Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it-
Last year, in summer, I made a Morse Code contact from Northern Saskatchewan to Belfast, Ireland in 35 USB. Unfortunately, I can not transmit at the present moment. That old CB died after 40 years of service, 28 of them in my current vehicle. All that is left is a rectangular hole on the dashboard of my vehicle.
Well thought out functions on this radio and the price is outstanding! Thanks for a real good review.
It's a really great radio!
Hey there Farpoint Farms good video. I have the Anytone 5555n2 and so far really enjoying this radio. Just wanted say I made contact with you briefly today 106 North Texas on LSB 39. Of course the skip ended that quickly everyone wanting to talk at the same time. 73's from the Lone Star State 👍.
Yup! You were there, but then faded out fast. Skip is like that some days. Still great to make the contact!
Cracking radios Eric I’ve had the CRT equivalent here in England for 7 months and it’s the best CB that’s out there due to superior build and durability plus the vfo function and the digital noise reduction in increments.
73
It's my new main radio in the garage.
These are great radios! I'm loving mine. 73's Erik, Enjoy the radio.
I am totally blown away by this one for sure. I've been talking skip all weekend on it and it really is impressive. I didn't realize you had uploaded a video on this one as well, or I would have held off for a bit. Sorry about that!
@@FarpointFarms this radio is well worth the double advertising. 73's, Have a great weekend.
Good contact this morning with that radio to out here in Glendive Montana Brother! Excellent QSO to my mobile out here as I was overlooking the Yellowstone River.
.338 Mobile(Glendive Montana)
Very cool! First contact of the day and it sounded like you were standing next to me!
G'day from Australia Eric been watching your UA-cam channel for a while very cool indeed my friend 73s from NS 025 NSW Australia
Glad to meet you! 73s!
Woo hoo! Now this is what I wish President would have given us. I gotta have my CTCSS and DCS with FM mode, but I also need SSB mode too.
Well, this radio has you covered!
Put an interface on the front microphone jack and you can have all the interesting digital modes, as well! I have been thinking about getting this one to fill a rectangular hole left on my dashboard when my beautiful Cobra 148GTL was laid to rest last year.
Really nice display on this unit! Its too large for my Jeep, but that would be great for a desk top in the shack.
Really well done review. :-)
Thanks! 👍I agree that this is better suited as a base station setup.
The most fun I had after getting my ham ticket was finally using my President HR-2510 on 10 meters. We won't talk about where I used it prior to that. ;) This rig definitely reminds me of the HR-2510 and everything I enjoyed about it. Seems like a great rig at a very attractive price point.
I'm really enjoying it. Well built and all the features you'd want.
Ya the HR2510 was AWESOME! It had CW mode. 👍👍
Thanks for the video. I want to buy one for myself for Christmas.
You will be VERY pleased.
I have no idea of what you said in this video. But I liked it. When I was a logging watchman. I had a handheld CB, and company radio. The cb was to prevent crashes with log trucks on mountain roads. I really never used the company radio. I did listen to it though. I would go to get water. Maybe a campground. Sketchy people would here the radio traffic, while I was filling jugs with a weeks worth of water. They would think I was a cop.
Interesting. Like anything, caution is always needed when talking in a public space.
I just receive my QT60 today, thanks for this review , is a great and good looking radiio. thanks, and i think this digital noises maybe is the wifi or something similar. i,m in mexico city and this noise is here to. thanks again
You might get some interference there because of the population there.
I have Anyone's version of this radio in my Freightliner love the radio. From what I understand it has the same guts as the Stryker that you have. I chose it over the Stryker because it had the weather channels on it as well.
I think that is correct- I can see where the weather feature could be helpful
I just got the Anytone version of that radio a few days ago (same exact thing). I love it so far.
thanks for sharing that
I have the Anytone version as well and it is one of the best radios that I have ever owned.
What model 6666 or 5555nii
5555nii Anytone@@KE8ODY-WV-Ares-Ham-Dad-3O4
I just bought one of those too, the Anytone variant. Nice radio.
Good price as well!
Anytone looks just like the old cobra radios. Are they the same? Any good?
Very good radios. Only the chassis size is similar to say....Cobra 29 Or RCI-2950.
@@q95oldies57 in the 70s 80s I had a Cobra 148GTL DX, mobile. I still have a Cobra 142 base in storage somewhere. Mid 50s now, thinking about getting back into the hobby, but I remember why I got out of it back then, besides girls, cb became a wasteland of idiots running illegal gear.
offset is because there are 10 meter repeaters for General Class and up... great radio for Tech level and well "some" folks are going to love this on 11 meter.. Ive been looking at this for awhile as there is another radio out there exactly the same (different branded) .. I do want one lol thanks for the video on this
I am shocked at the price. It's a 955 at 1/2 the price.
Most all 2m and 23 centimeters have some type of offset, I thought techs could use the 28.300 through 28.500 MHz frequencies
Nice radio and great review. That loud beep is hideous though. Thanks for the video!
Man it was ear splitting in person. Couldn't wait to turn it off.
@@FarpointFarms I bet. I had earbuds in and they were cranked a little haha! I bet it’s glorious in person.
Hey Eric I looked at Amazon In the United stated to buy A QT60 it;s about 259 dollars with an additional 92 dollars to export it to the Netherlands. I would love to buy this Radi Oddity QT60 as a11 meter CB radio! Thanks for Sharing!
Anytime, $92 for shipping seems a bit harsh. Maybe you can find one closer to you
I just purchased one because of the ease of the modification for 10, 11, & 12 meters. Great price too.
Good choice!
Muy buen exposición. Gracias.
de nada
I have the Anytone brand of it and it's great! Pretty cheap money for a radio that does 10,11, and 12 meters @ 60 watts!!
Agreed. This was half the price of the Stryker 955 I picked up a few months back.
Hey I'm new to the radio scene. Love the content great video. Will it do gmrs frequencies? I think it does right? Thanks👍
@@joshuasons2300 I don't see an answer for ya .. but no.. sorry
@@joshuasons2300 I doubt it will do GMRS. This radio works in the neighborhood of 27 MHz. GMRS channels are up around 460 MHz. That takes totally different hardware.
Which Anytone you have 5555 or 6666
@Farpoint Farms , that digital noise has been here for a few weeks as well. My friend and I have been hearing across all 40 channels no matter what mode we were in. Not sure what it is, yet. I live in a small town in Central Kentucky called Hustonville. If we figure it out, I will let you know. But if it's anything like the remote control tones on channel 23 we may never know, by the way, those tones on ch. 23 have been heard as far away as Canterbury England
I heard that they were transmission from a North Korean Sat that is in low orbit, but that would make it come and go quite quickly as it passes by, so I think that was just a rumor. No idea, but I wish it would go away!
@@FarpointFarms I had thought the same thing but the satellite would have to be geo stationary over the US for it to stay in our receive as long as it has. I don't think NK wants to take a chance on losing a bird up there "accidently" lol I tend to agree with you, it needs to go away.
I run mine with a RM Italy 703 and have no complaints of scattering or co channel interference.
That is good to hear- some said that they have had issues.
I just bought a President McKinley and now they have the II and this with way more versatility.
Don't be disapointed. The McKinley is a GREAT radio!
Great video great radio
Thank you for that- take care my friend
I have a radio similar to that. I put it away, can use 11M and other bands. It’s the Optima radio.
These are sold under various names, but they are all good radios.
Looks like a nice rig. I see that you checked it out on 11 meters, are you doing a video on how it is on 12 and 10 meters>
Made one good contact on 10. Solar storm had all but wiped out the band shortly after I started filming. Today? Lot's of 11M contacts!
I recommend Scott's radios llc he carries these radios I recommend to pay for the alignment he has all the equipment to setup a radio the way it should be.
Thanks for the tip! I love to support the little guys!
Back in the '70s, we had a neighbor about a half mile from us running an illegal amp on her CB Base station and that was always blasting through our TV completely jamming it. No matter how many times we complained, she just didn't give a damn. It was especially annoying since back then there was no cable and we only got two stations via the antenna. Seemed like the only entertainment we got from the TV was listening to her talk.
Interesting! How did those amplifiers work (called linear's?)? To hear a reply, the person you intended to speak to needed a similar power amp, correct?
I remember those days well. We had the same problem but never figured out who it was that was doing it.
@@FarpointFarms I knew the lady so I recognized her voice, plus with all the antennas in her yard, it looked like a NASA tracking station, so we know who it was--she just didn't care.
Too bad.
You could have upgraded your TV antenna and added a high-pass filter and better ground.
You are partially guilty of some of the interference as your TV set-up was probably not ideal or as well though out and set-up correctly.
@@Hubjeepno, the linear just made the broadcaster using it put out more power. To talk to them, depending how far away from them you were they could still hear you if you just had a good radio & antenna, no external amp. I knew someone with just a 100 watt in his car, finely tuned radio and antenna, it was nice. But these people with 1000 watts + on a home cb, are in my opinion, ridiculous. Back in the day, even a radio peaked to 12 watts would bleed over onto nearby tv, telephone etc. you’d have to add major filters, and if you didn’t, you were the obnoxious one that the neighbors hated.
It would be nice, if in the software upgrade that Radioddity would be able to change the frequencies of the weather channels to the 2 meter band or the public safety band.
That would be cool!
When using this radio on CB channels in SSB does the clarifier change the TX and RX or just the RX?
RX only.
When I was a teenager in 76 my friend ordered from a company called JC Whitney a CB with am fm and I believe it also had an 8 track . Do you recall these radios.
I do. I had a buddy that had the cassette tape deck/AM/FM/CB radio in his dash also from JC Whitney. That was a great company. I made a video on them on my other channel. "Farpoint Farms Restorations and Repairs".
JC Whitney had everything you wanted and nothing you actually needed. I loved looking through them as a kid planning how to deck out my future vehicle.. one that didn't require pedaling
jc whitney dang. Made me think of summit racing and cardomain lol
I have a early pioneer that dad had in his 69 camaro back in the late 70s early 80s.
@@GG-vx7gi Looking thru JC Whitney as a teenager was like looking thru the sears Christmas catalog.
Intro is so catchy lol
Thanks!
Farpoint, where did you order your from and how long did it take to get it. Mine has been on order for 8 days now, website says, “in transit”.
How long did it take to get yours?
Right from Radiooddity.
@@FarpointFarms okay, thanks. I was just wondering as they said 5-7 days. I need to get a programming cable so I might just get the one from Anytone since they are the same rig, essentially.
I keep hoping for a digital scanner from one of these companies
I bought the DMR all band radio and I paid 70 dollars for it
And I was amazed that it worked.
But I have not seen a scanner yet.
A nice phase 2 digital would be nice
I am sure they have one in the works-
They could make big money with a scanner
I know this isn't part of the video but I have a question I couldn't get answered on another video. A buddy of mine said I needed to buy cable lengths in multiples of 3. Something to do with wave lengths or something. Anyway beyond my understanding. Is this true or even necessary?
Not needed, but somewhat true. It can fake out the SWR meter if the length of the wire is off.
Your wrong about no antenna being tunable for all those bands. My Imax 2000 is resonant from 10m through 17m. The SWR does vary but goes from a flat 1:1 up to 2:1 and back down several times. Works great and I talk all over the world.
I actually have a MAC2000 down in the garage. I'll check it out.
does this come with 11m or do you have to mod it? Most 10m radios I've seen need modding to access the CB 11m band. 73 de W8MJL
These have to be changed over to 11M. The one I bought was already modded when I got it.
Problem - The manual says to push menu+mode together in order to access the weather channels, however I can't get it to work. I've tried it on all bands as well as all modes and nothing works. If you (or anyone) cab get it to work, I'd appreciate any advise on how you got it to work, I did do the mod, so maybe you lose that feature by doing so...tnx
That is everywhere. Visit a parts store or a walmart and you get to see it live. People seem to be a little less bright these days.
You and Mower Junkie uploaded videos on the same radio today.
Great minds think alike!
They send them out with scripts.
Totally untrue, but you go right on thinking that. These radios are sent out to people like Mower Junkie and myself to test out. If we like them, all they ask in return is a video on them. If a product is sent to me (or Mower Junkie I'm sure) That sucks, you never hear about it as they go in the trash without ever making a video. This Radio is really great and is a really great price. Truth be told, they certainly didn't need any help selling this one!@@RabbiJesus
@@FarpointFarms so, you’re saying they didn’t provide ANY talking points at all? That would literally be a first ever.
They literally emailed me and said "Would you like to review our new QT60 radio?" I said yes. They replied "Great, here is the tracking. let us know what you think" . Apparently you don't do reviews? Funny that you think you know how these things work then isn't it?@@RabbiJesus
Does the unit limit power to CB levels when transmitting on CB channels?
It can be turned down manually to do that.
My QT60 came already pre-programmed only in the HF band. The channels are all in HF (28MHz - 29MHz). How can I get it transceive in CB?
Mine was modded by the shop I bought it from. You'd have to see if someone in your area can do that kind of work.
@@FarpointFarms Got it. Thx.
What antenna are you using during this demo? How do you like the QT60? What ground plane do you like? Yep, lots of question huh.. Thanks. Sub'd long ago and always checking you out. 73's
This is hooked to an Antron A99. LOVE THIS RADIO!! No ground plane on my antenna setup.
Yes Sir I’m wanting to move up to SSB, I’m looking at the uniden 980 or president McKinley. I’ve seen your videos but do you have a personal preference?
I'd say both are great options but I like the front facing speaker on the McKinley.
@@FarpointFarms thank you Sir, have a great day,
My first ever cb was a binatone
I hadn't heard of that one. I'll look it up.
Sold out on the website.
Is the Anytone 5555 N II the exact same radio?
It is a very similar radio
Yes, identical.
NICE
Thanks
I have the Anytone AT-5555n and it was $250. US from an outfit in England. UK.
I want the AT-5555n II that's now available and they are still running below $300. US so get yours today.
I really love mine. Great receive and transmit audio. Frequency or VFO mode. Most of 12, all of11, and up to 30.010 on 10 meters. I'm saying as "My opinion" this is a powerhouse radio. Mine is 60 watts out of the box barefoot. I'm sure i could have it turned up; but why?
Agreed. 60 watts is plenty!
I wonder why CB radios still come with emergency channel 9 buttons. I don't think any first responders have monitored that channel in a long time. At least they haven't in my neck of the woods.
I'm with you on this. President has made them into programmable channels so you have two on call buttons instead of 9/19.
@@FarpointFarmsdoes anyone monitor channel 9? Remember REACT back in the 70s 80s? If you talked on 9 they yelled at you.
The police does not even enforce the laws of society nowadays.
@@billdivine9501I was in my highschool parking lot a few months ago when I first got my Cb and before school was messing around on channel 9 with my buddies and someone from the sheriffs department from down the road told us to get off channel 9 because of it being an emergency channel
The only thing I hear on 9 is Spanish coming up from Mexico. I think continuing to declare 9 as an emergency channel may lead to a false sense of safety for some users. It is not useful.
What kind of antenna are you using
Antron A99.
Man I hope there is something to do about the button beeps and power on tones. I'm sure you can at least turn them off.
Definitely makes me miss the HR2510 with is soft button beeps.
There is usually a setting where you can make the buttons silent
I’m new to all this but it seems like something I can save up for, tge stryker is way out of my price range
It's made by the same parent company. Go for it!
Does it do gmrs frequencies? Is it easy to move the jumper? Does it just pull out? 😊
I've seen another vid where the ham clips one wire AND moves a jumper over ... that's what you have to do .that gives you both 12 and 11 m. It may be that the jumper alone does that 11m change. The jumper is one of those tiny black rect type ones that sits on gold pins - just like a computer motherboard jumper. cheers TEF
It will NOT do GMRS frequencies.
This unit does not cover GMRS. Sorry.
@@FarpointFarmsthanks
If you were ready to buy one now, would you buy this Radioddity or anytone 5555NII ?
Both same radio but radioddity offers a warranty and anytone does not. I just bought a qt60 from Scott's radios llc I highly recommend to buy a radio from him and pay the extra for alignment.
@chevyguy1128- good point on the warranty-
Well I'm wondering I want to put a desk mic on this radio is there a wiring diagram so I can splice a Ethernet cable then solder to 4 pin barrel mald and plug a real mic into it?
Tgaf QT 40 radio a bad idea how it has to tune nog a superstar or galaxy multi band radio ..
QT 60/ anytime 5555 seems
be better idea !
They sell converters on eBay to make these go from the ethernet to a 4 pin mic plug.
I don’t understand how you get these modifications made , does the manufacturer or do you have to take it to a shop or do it yourself. Where’s the info on how you do it ?
I take it to a shop, but there are a lot of videos that cover these mods if you are inclined to try it yourself.
A simple solder link btwn 2 jumper pins
You can find info on UA-cam or internet it's easy if you can solder any at all
Is that a Timex Sinclair on the back shelf?
Yes it is
Do you need an FCC license with this radio?
On 10 and 12 meters yes.
Can you change the steps on the main dial to 5kHz
Yes.
I want one.
You will love it. I've been talking on mine all weekend.
The RB button does not function as per the instructions. You can turn the RB-ON, by pressing and holding. But push again does not change the frequency. Turn on channel switch direction simply does not work. If you get to RB-ON, keying mike turns it back OFF. Instruction RB function 2. simply does not work.
I am sorry to hear that- have you reached out to Raddioddity to see what they have to say?
I solved the problem. The instructions sequence is incorrect. Here is the correct sequence:
Long press RB for 2 seconds. should display RB - ON
Short press RB to turn RB function. should see RB at top right of display
Short press channel selector. Should see OFF - 5. Turn channel selector dial to the right to cycle through 5 selections 1-5. Select a number.
Press channel selector again to get out of select mode.
You are ready. Press PTT to test. Do NOT press RB again or it will cancel your selection and turn RB OFF
To change your selection, press channel selector again.
Can I use my Antron 99 antenna to monitor both CB and Ham ?
Yes!
@@FarpointFarms ♥️
Dress this radio have GMRS frequencies?
No.
What's with the fm and what's it for?
It's just another mode to transmit on. AM, SSB, and now FM modes.
What’s a decent SUV antenna you recommend
I like the Tram 3500.
Also called the Anytone AT5555II. :-)
And the Stryker 955 V2.
I'll look this radio up. I do not like the mic plug, that sucks.
I'm not seeing it has split frequency, that would've been nice. I had that on my AR-3300.
The unlocked clarifier is nice.
Thanks for sharing
how do you make the Qt60 work on 11 meters
I am not sure- I don't modify radios but this one came this way
SO IS THE 102" WHIP ANTENNA THE BEST ALL ROUND FOR 10 , 11 AND 12 METER BANDS OR IS THERE SOMETHING BETTER FOR THE MOBILE ?
You can't go wrong with a 102!! There is a reason they are still sold.
Is this the digital version of the QT40?
Sort of. It's an upgrade as well. More Watts.
@@FarpointFarms thank you sir. Enjoy your posts. Definitely rekindling my interest in radio
Awesome radio but they kinda missed the boat not having CW mode. Anyone remember CW?
thankfully I have forgotten most of the Morris code
This is the Anytone AT-5555N!!. I am loving it more and more. I can buy it here in my country as "export" or I can purchase it €80 cheaper direct from China. But...I have to cut a wire and move over the jumper ? Or whatever its called. Now I am technical. But I never have done that. But there are video's on UA-cam. So , what to do, what to choose. Warranty will be the same in both cases.
All I can tell you for sure is that it's a great radio!
Where are there instructions on how to do the mod?
I don't really do mods- I am sure there is information out there
When did channel 19 become a trucker only channel? It used to be open to everyone.
Anyone can use it. It's just that truckers monitor that channel for road info.
Thanks
What is the mode of the anytone that is similar
No idea. Sorry!
@FarpointFarms sorry I meant the model of the anytone to the radioddity qt60
The FIRST thing you change when switching on for the first time is disable the annoying beep....done quite easily.
Agreed. That is the most painful beep I've ever come across!
Do thay sell a power Mike for it
I am not sure, I think there are adapters you can get to use other brands.
Is this literally the same radio just a different badge as the
Anytone-5555 ?
Yep. Badge engineering of the AT 5555, CRT 7900.
Yes, and it's also internally a Stryker 955 V2. I can confirm the board is the same. Heck of a deal for this level of radio.

This is the Almond Joy / Mounds, of radio. This is because, "Sometimes you feel like a nut (CB), sometimes you don't(amateur radio). As for the legality of the radio, only those that have never sped on their automobile should say, anything. Speeding has been proven to kill. A radio that transmits on both CB and ham bands has never killed anybody. Thus if you want the radio for both, get it. It will hurt nobody. But, maybe cut down on your automobile speeding.
I love how you compared the two- People also need to realize that in other countries this is perfectly legal.
@@FarpointFarms Truthfully, even in the nations where it is illegal, it is a victimless crime with no adverse effects on anybody except the sales of individual CB radios and amateur radios. Nobody really cares except politicians. They want everyone to have an individual CB and amateur radio. It is like many new vehicles have no spare tyre but still charge outrageous amounts for a very ugly vehicle and claim the smaller size does not allow for a spare, yet the well for the spare is still there.
On my QT 60 Looks like a plastic screen protectors on it ?
It might! Mine didn't have one, or at least I don't think it does.
i check and it does have one i got it off .display look better...
Just a THEORY question, would this radio work a Texas Star 500?
It's what I run
Yes.
At one point you kinda compared the meters to the Stryker 955. How do you think the rest of it compares?
From what I understand, they are both made by the same parent company. I personally like the looks of the Stryker better, but this one has nearly all the same bells and whistles for half the price.
yes i was thinking that other than looks and glow lighting, they seem the same@@FarpointFarms
re-badged Anytone 5555 ?
I think, or the 6666? Not sure, but I do know it's sold under many brands at this point.
I can't wait to use the echo and roger beep on 10 meters man that's exciting.
Heck yes! Teach those stogy elmers that times are changing!
echo and beeps just outright suck.
when someone would cone on using it many would go someplace else or just turn off there radios for 30 miles.
Is this radio modified for CB out of the box?
You can order it from the company like that
Not according to the company@@FarpointFarms
Oh, I didn't mean radioddity, I meant the place I got it from. Walcott radio. Sorry!

Got it. Thanks!
Like it or not these export radios are the thing of the future and almost everyone I know has one where they use their ham radio to operate on 11 mm and I'm not sure that's even legal
I have to agree with you on this. The FCC moved too slow, and the users of the band moved on without them. It's not unlike the early 70's when people just said "NO" to getting a license. Eventually the FCC came around and admitted defeat.
On a side note, many Ham operators are now skipping the license as well.
01:45 "Earthnet"? lol
Ok.
Who dose the modication
I have a guy. Most truck stops do this kind of work though.
Don’t think that radio would fit to good in a Yugo😂
Ha! Nope! This one is a little large for car use. Perfect for a base setup though.
it fits perfectly, just take out the passenger seat and make a shack in the freed up space.
here in my village a guy had a a Ford Capri with a draft beer pump where the passenger seat used to be
Got a surprise when it was delivered. Bloody huge! Gotta get a bigger suv
👍
Right on!
CRT 7900V the same radio... Born for HAM but easly modified for CB and DX use...
I understand these are sold under a lot of names. No matter what, it's a good one!
It ain't no chicken band radio!
Seems to work just fine on it. Heck the ICom 7300 isn't either, but I talk to guys on those all the time on 11M.
only 16 pages? thats a joke with what you just said this radio can do.
is there a printable instruction book for this?
showing all the controls and menus?
There is a LOT going on with this radio. That said, yes, there are some online docs for it.
RJ45 for the handset is a weird choice.
It works though-
