I created this alias UA-cam channel on 1/30/2021 to start periodically recording video gate clips for CB radio locals and DX operators along with some demos of unique equipment functions and circumstances. 73 and enjoy!

To customize the roger beeps and other functions on the Anytone AT-6666, you must purchase the programming cable and download the free software. * I purchased the cable in March of 2021 from this eBay link... www.ebay.com/itm/153993737845 * I downloaded the free software at this website... www.qxdz.cn (BUT, in case they ever delete it, I also uploaded it to my own website at this link... qsl.ne...

👍👍👍👍
Spot the mistake anyone
I have the same kit how did you open it up
Is that just a noise toy
Yes and no. It's a keyup mod that essentially starts your transmission 5 or so khz off frequency and smoothly shifts it back to the center of the channelized frequency. What it's really good for is when you are DXing. That tone wave comes through the carrier signals of others talking and makes for a great attention getter to help listeners tune their attention to your transmission even if others are stronger. It essentially helps you make contact easier. At least it does for me.
@@riverrat7289 ok I see
I use all eight
Do you have a road runner or a link I can try?
That demo was over the air... just a small amout of it
it just shorts out the leads, maybe it has coating of some sort you could clean off
Being a trucker for 30+ years. Roger beeps have no place on the air. You want to hear them on your talk back great . But nobody wants to hear them on there radio. Turn the RB off!!!!!
Being an asshole for 27 years I find that the Roger beep serves a major purpose on 10m dx, especially when their audio fades in and out, to help signify the end of their transmission.
what are the tone frequencies and times for the the sadelta beeps?
River Rat, I may have talked to you before, but I saw you on another channel. Thank you so much for the information on the Bird Meter, I didn't know it. I hit all your buttons and became a new channel friend, Stop in sometime for a coffee. Dirty Diaper 21, in S.C.
dislike vertical crap
As a ham for 50 years. If I find a local neighbor transmitting on the ham bands he will have a visit front the fcc. Channel 500 transmitter lol
I haven't been a ham for quite that long but, as a ham for 13 years, I'd be all set to transmit there although I wouldn't as I trust the components of this Galaxy wouldn't handle long transmissions being that far out of it's realm. This was just a demo of where the DDS-VFO can allow a CB to go.
its not a problem if your neighbor has a ham license .
It's cool, 73 from Russia
That’s cool,I’d pay you to do my 29?
Thanks for sharing video Dave. Definitely number 8. Keep up the good work. Be safe out there EVERYONE. ( DESPERADO 56 north of Tampa Fl. ) til next time 73's
Where do you get the parts and how do you put it in or is this taboo?
I had mine done by Troy Radio Service (www.ddsvfo.com). You can either have them install it or buy the proper kits to install yourself or by your local technician.
PRETTY NICE
boring
Great sound 🤚🏻
Direct injection wow cool awesome
How much is it to have this done to my radio. its the same radio in the video.
At the time I had mine done, toward the beginning of the year, it was $150 to have Troy Radio Service do it all. Looks like it's now $175 as of this reply. Go to www.ddsvfo.com to see the current prices.
I love it good Keep uploading videos like this
Those things are cool. 575 just south of Jacksonville
I liked #4 the best. #9 sounds like the RB that President uses.
Can you link me to the direct inject process?
Mine was done by Troy Radio Service (www.troyradio.net) out of Texas. I'd suggest contacting them or look up and inquire at CB shops that deal with hi-fi audio. Good luck.
Pretty neat! I just subscribed, I'm from Maine also. Just south of Augusta, 295 Steeltoe 👋
Thanks. I just replied to your Facebook post earlier this morning on that little mobile and handheld DXing bit. Nice to meet you. I'll have to give you a shout whenever I travel down your way. For my job I have to grab stock from a warehouse we have in Auburn once a week to once every other week. Do you monitor 2, 12, 28, or 40? Last I was made aware, these are the channels most used toward your direction.
I need to figure out how to do it for my Madison.
10 is the one I run
