The service menu on the AnyTone AT-5555N II contains critical alignment parameters that are not documented in the standard Instruction Manual. Crucially, there is no "factory reset" for this menu, so you must record your original values before making any changes. Accessing the Service Menu
To enter the hidden service menu, follow these steps precisely: Preparation: Ensure the radio is powered off.
Power On sequence: Press and hold the [MENU] and [MODE] buttons simultaneously while turning the radio on.
Code Entry: All LCD segments will illuminate for approximately 2 seconds. Within this window, release the buttons and immediately press the top-row keys in this specific order: [RB], [NB], [SCAN], [MEM], then [EMG].
Confirmation: The radio will enter the Service Mode, often defaulting to a specific channel setting (e.g., CH-01). Operating the Service Menu anytone at5555n ii service menu updated

While most of the 59 items are used for factory alignment, users frequently access specific settings for performance tweaks:
CH-52 (RFG): Adjusts the RF Gain threshold. Increasing this value (e.g., from a default of 86 to around 105) can help reduce background static and "S7 noise" on newer units.
Frequency Alignment: Includes settings such as bfC (BFO frequency adjustment) and loC (Local Oscillator offset) for fine-tuning SSB operation.
Modulation: Includes parameters for AM modulation and AMC clamping levels; lower values typically equate to higher modulation.
