For better shortwave reception, use an external wire antenna connected to the BNC input. 5. Troubleshooting
Toggle it to the "ON" position. The OLED screen will light up, displaying the firmware version followed by the last saved frequency.

“STEP 4: For the numbers station, tune to 4625 kHz at 02:00 UTC. MODE to ‘USB.’ Do not speak to the lady. She is not a lady anymore.”
Use narrower filters (1.2kHz–2.2kHz) for clear SSB voice communications. Use wider filters (4.0kHz–6.0kHz) for high-fidelity AM broadcasts. 🛠️ Firmware and Software Modifications
: Cycles through audio filters (0.5, 1, 1.2, 2.2, 3, and 4 kHz) to reduce interference from nearby stations.
The ATS-20 is more than just a radio; it's a project and an entry point into the rewarding worlds of amateur radio, open-source hardware, and programming. As you use it and begin to explore its capabilities, you will quickly discover its true potential. This guide, collected from the community, is your starting point. The rest is up to you—happy listening, and may the signals be strong!
Based on the standard community firmware ATS_EX, here's a step-by-step guide on how to use the radio.
