Anytone Ares 2

Hi Guy's, 

well i did it bought a new Anytone Ares 2, when it arrived yesterday the factory Dat file was so stupid it could have been a april fools joke, 

so i went from 24.41500  to 30.10500 and programmed the radio complete with 1 - 40 read out mid band

1 - 40 uk fm 27.60125 to 27.99125, 

mid is on L-F  and fm is on H- A,  mid nights is on H-F, but sadly to get all midnights in i lost 5 channels top end,  so the radio goes to 30.05500,

so if any one has the new radio and would like a copy of the dat file for there radios pm me with email address,  

please leave a thank you here, as when they are done in pm it dosn't show i am being thanked for helping people.

Hi Glenn,

They do say that an act of kindness is it's own reward.

If it helps any I've given you a 'like' and a vote of 'thanks' just for making it known that you'd be happy to help anyone out with a .dat file for the benefit of the Charlie Tango community.

They also say "Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you sow" as one act of kindness can often lead to another.

Just as well really as the admins barely get a thanks in relation to what we do, but we sort call signs & keep things running here just in the knowledge that we're helping other radio enthusiasts pursue their interests. That's the best reward really.  


All the best,
Victor

Hi Glenn,

That is a fantastic offer of help.

I hope you enjoy your new radio.

Good dx and best 73s, John.

Hi john, victor,

Even ML&S in london wanted a copy from me and offered updates or programming of a cb for free if i bought a new radio in the future to say thank you for my hard work, i just said i don't look for things in return i am just glad to of helped out, 

they said thank you so much, 

for those who do have the radio and struggle to get rid of the radio beep all the time when you change channel,  

1/ turn radio off
2/ hold up button on mic and keep pressed and turn radio on then release up button,
3/ when radio is on, the channel changer will show a menu go to bp using channel changer,
4/ once on bp press PTT button once, you will get a series of number turn channel changer till it reads OFF,
5/ once set turn radio off and back on again and the beeping will have stopped,  

codes for the radio menu following steps 1 and 2 to enter menu, then codes as follows

1/ bp beeping on channel and dials
2/ rb roger beep 
3/ AL  WX alarm for the weather channels
4/ DI  dimmer setting
5/ nP  NPC noise compressor
6/ UL  VOX setting
7/ UT  VOX delay

12/  sr   swr meter on or off
13/  rt   reset all setting to factory default


radio default frequency range is 28.000 to 29.695
export mode 24.415 to 30.105

hope it helps

Jibber Jabber have sent the dat file and instructions on how to install and update, 
if you need any other help let me know,

update to the anytone ares 2 cb radio,  the supplier's of this radio dont tell you that the weather channels installed on WX switch do not work in the uk, they fail to mention this to you, 
even when you ask they make out its a cool feature knowing they dont work, 
after sales when bought depending where you buy it from can be a nightmare, they pass you from person to person then finally tell the person you are looking for is not in till 3 days from you're call, then when you call they wont pass you to them, 
radio is uniden board, so i tried a uniden mic and it was very clear, i put the radios mic back on and i could shout loud if i whispered, as the mic is very poor quality and very low you have to shout to be heard then it is scratchy, so use a different mic,

Thanks Ghoshy2014 , Glenn for all your help… Finally got it sorted.

Very much appreciated.

J

you're welcome J jibber jabber,

 if you find the audio is low with mic gain on full try a uniden mic, to see if its the mic at fault, if audio is still low then the radio is faulty, if its the mic send back to ML&S with a photo copy of receipt attached to mic and write on receipt say mic faulty, they will replace it,

Thanks Glenn,

I have been using an RF Limited CR577 which has had good reports. Tbh I haven’t tried the stock mic.

I’ll give it a go.
