When I first got my one second hand the reports on the audio were bad.
I was told the the audio was well down and i needed to turn the mic gain up.
I didnt find the mic gain but the answer to my problem was simple.
I opened up the mic. removed the plug for the cable and removed the circuit board.
The problem was that the condenser mic sits in the membrane along with the push buttons.
The membrane covered the mic, so i just cut the part of the membrane that covered the mic and the problem was solved.
Now getting good reports with the radio.
Hope that helps

I have just received the AnyTone AT-5189 (or MyDel MY-5189 as sold by Martin Lynch & Sons). Mine had the DTMF mic. The manual shows a programming cable and software, but neither Martin Lynch & Sons or the manufacturer Qixiang's website have these available Perhaps this is to come in the future. The rig is simple to set up, although I have not played with settings for a repeater as none are available in the west country (are there any 4m repeaters in the UK?) Audio is very good and my first half a dozen QSOs gave good reports. Definately much better than my old converted Pye FM-1200 (using the same 4m vertical), even if the power output is 25w compared with 35w for the FM-1200. Sadly no S-meter, but S-meters can give false impressions and readings. Like the "Compander" function which acts as an excellent noise blanker and removes much of the FM noise. Nice rig and well worth the money.
