The V4 onwards were ok. The first three revisions were plagued with issues which were ironed out up to the release of the V4. So it's a good radio. Enjoy.

There were serious heat issues, spelling mistake on the front panel (RF Rain), stability issues, signal meter had a mind of its own...

I'm sure others will add to the list.

Hi, Ive had a v3 AT-5555 from new bought from and programmed by Radiozing. Replaced on/off pot broken by my wife.Had contacts all over Europe and the States and Canada with good reports etc using a mobile antenna or a T2LT. Perhaps i am a lucky one as i have no complaints at all about the rig, apart from not enough people on cb/11 meters. When i bought my first rig back in the mid 70s you had a job to get on as it was so busy. Those were the days as many of you know.
