Nice work Brenton AGAIN!! I’m looking to see if Santa can bring me a CB+10 for Christmas. Great review and well organized. Hoping Santa brings it for my podcast. Thanks again mate for the terrific work here. Larry de K7HN
I just want to know does it do 27mhz because I'm always on 35 LSB, my kenwood ts 850s goes on 35 LSB 27.355.00, or do I need to send it to someone to get a programmed in I'm looking for amateur radio for my 4WD, Anytone AT6666 looks good
Just bought one of these for shits and giggles, off Aliexpress 240 USD including shipping. Out of the box. Pretty much bang on frequency. Tweaked The SSB ALC. Easily gives 80w on 11m. Found the receive very sensitive on my example.. The weird thing is If I select clarifier on receive only it transmits bang on the marker. If I select Clarifier on RX/TX 2 O'clock is bang on.. Not my thing. But there are VRs internally to adjust Echo delay and volume.. So the AM Guys can dial that function in... The stock mic is reasonable mic gain, set at 28.. Out of the box a cheap option to get a station running.. 73s 153 AT 888 / HS0ZOU
Friend recently retired from high level FCC - says that CB is a very low priority, they even expect hobbyists to push the bounds a little. It’s usually when people use the frequencies below CB that they get into government use channels and get a friendly letter from them.
Do you have the United States program file? Somehow my Anytone AT-6666 frequencies became corrupt, I need the original United States frequencies reinstalled in my radio. Thanks
Your seniors moment there added humor to this video ooooops! dummy load saves the day. But all jokes aside, if anyone wishes to purchase a brand new 11 meter type approved radio in Australia today I challenge anyone to tell me where that can be purchased from a retail store with a warranty.!!!!!
Have one, a spectacular radio that's pro grade, won't be disappointed. Don't modify perfect out of the box. Use a desktop fan on fall power to be on the safe side.
Just received today - ‘channel selector’ / encoder knob skips and doubles as it is dialed - example - 50,51,51,52,53,55 etc. This does not appear to occur using the microphone’s UP & DN buttons. If I can’t find a fix for this, it’s going back to the manufacturer for refund in a few days. W8GMG
Update - a HAM friend more techy than myself explained the freq. / encoder dial issue is all too common. It is caused by a mismatch between the physical knob and the companion software. As I understand it, it’s like an old time windup watch - the cogs will sometimes skip as they work together, causing time gain or loss. Obviously a flaw in the basic design of the radio, and not bench fixable. I have decided to keep the radio, as the publisher mentioned, it has excellent Rx. I’ve had the Anytone AT-778UV 144/FRS/440 for a while, and it rarely encoder skips.

I liked it so much I bought a second one for a base station.
I have the CRT version and yes I would buy it again !! 73s
Hi ..............Nice radio for the money I use one for the car........... Here in the UK there sold as the crt ss9900 .. 73s
Great little SSB radio.
Wonder if the 6666 pro can be moded easy to
You can tune the AM & SSB to 80 watts pep with a tune up. Also increase the modulation too.
That would be really cool.
At 40 watts peak they don't get too hot. When they're peeked I'd suggest a fan on the back.
Where is there a tutorial?
Not worth it. You’d only be getting 1 dBm which is nothing. You’re better off using a good antenna.
I you do that I recommend drilling holes at the back of the top cover and run a fan !! 73s heat needs to escape
nice little rig.

It does so beautifully 2 button 'unlock'
The "EMG" button can be programmed to any frequency so if you have an "official emergency frequency" in your country it should be programmed to that.
I am toying with the idea of this rig. I kind of like the idea that the weekly net frequency could be put on that frequency for quick recall.

Your running 80w on ssb don't that get hot
Thank you.
I think I'll buy one
Item 3 NOTE: This function is only available when install the Optional CTC board (16:55) :-(
It seems to be a crapshoot with vendors some include it and some don’t.
Thanks for the video, When is the 10m dx season??

Mine did 100w ssb after tune..out talks anything with a electret power mic driving it..would buy another for sure..
Do you have the United States program file? Somehow my Anytone AT-6666
frequencies became corrupt, I need the original United States
frequencies reinstalled in my radio. Thanks
You can program it from a pc with a special programming cable and put in all the frequencies

Hi! Have you ever tried to transmitte FT8 with this radio ? (of course adapting the PTT)
I believe it will do 12 meters in VFO mode.
I like the radio, but i don’t like the 6666 🤔🤔
wow very nice yeah
you can program out 11mtrs with correct lead Brenton
Nice radio indeed. Cheers Steve VK2UD
Just bought one buddy!
@@petercallingham5657 you still won't get on air lol

I wish the anytone 6666 had a cooling fan.
I bet you better be careful on fm at 55w.
