👉 Tired of boring radio unboxings and endless spec sheets? In this video, I absolutely will NOT review the Anytone AT-588MAX.

Nope — you won’t see the unboxing, the screen protector peel, the 70-watt power test, or me calling on 146.52. You definitely won’t learn anything about this radio’s built in AI Noise Reduction Features…

Or will you? 👀

In this episode of my RT95 Repair Series (#8), we dive into some shocking discoveries:
