Here we have the export mod for the Anytone AT555N PLUS and it will come as no surprise that you remove/cut the white wire and then move the jumper!



There is also a 'Hidden Menu' - To access this hold MENU and MODE buttons while you turn on the radio then quickly press the remaining buttons in order DW>RB>NB>SCAN>MEM>EMG.
