- Every Day Ham: here are my opinions on the Anytone AT-6666. I have used this radio every day for almost 2 years. I think this is the best radio on the market right now for the price and the size. If you’re just getting started in CB, this is the radio I would spend my money on.

I have one of these and I've used it in DX contests with great success. While I'm primarily a ham radio dude, I do love CB. Thanks for video
Thanks for the comment. Defiantly one on my favorites for sure!
Anytone is killing it these days... 👍
Yessir they are! About to be a house hold name
The Anytone AT-5555NII has a Stryker SR-995HPC. I am thinking of getting one after I am done grieving the loss of my ancient Cobra 148GTL. I had that radio in all my vehicles, and had it before I could drive. May it rest in peace. I buried it last spring 2024.
I just got my anytone 6666 pro and its amazing I love it and get alot of good compliments on its audio and signal. Also for 400 Canadian its not bad
I agree, I super nice radio and good size factor as well
My AT 6666 PRO is excellent. 90 watts on 11 meters SSB is the same as 10 or 12 meters ham radio. Even on AM I have hundreds of miles of reliable range
Yea great radio for sire
Yep, that quad 6 Pro is quite a DX 10 meter radio. Opens up all sorts of possibilities. 10, 11, 12 & 15 meters. Not bad for under 300 u$. Have not performed the firmware update yet. Thanks for the video. 73’
Amen!
I agree! For the price, you can’t beat it!
The new President Washington does one extra feature that that one does not have. It have a built in feature that turns it into a full FM repeature with the added optional duel fan kit.
The new Stryker 955 version 3 is just hitting the shelves. It has 40 watts more power than the version 2, weather bands, and a smaller chassis.
What you really need is a new President Washington. it is a little pricey but, it has a special feature in it. If you add the optional duel fan kit it has a built in repeater function. Which would be good for FM. Other than that the anytone is a good one too.
Thanks
i ’ve get both washington and 6666 pro . Sound display frq quiet and fast on/off big sink little size 99 memories Better 6666 pro. loud sound with washington
Interesting video, thanks. This doesn't seem to be the last "pro" variant is it? I have one of these (not latest variant), I kind of like it but I mostly use it for 10m ham band and it's too "channelized" for that and the 10 kHz step is not convenient. The new "pro" variant has a full VFO mode, and the latest versions of the AT-5555 aka CRT SS7900 make it much easier to work without bothering with the channels and have a 5 kHz step. Even CBers tend to think in frequencies more than in channels nowadays.
On the other hand, I like the AT-6666's compact size, very decent power output but I regret the smaller display and buttons.
This is not the pro version, but yes I agree that some functions are not easy to use, but for the amount you spend on one and the size, it’s a great buy
hey bud i got that radio buy it 3 yrs ago i hook it up in my semi truck and i love it,i used 10 k penetrator antenna with a automatic antenna tuner and is had good punch in am 85 to 90 watts,ssb go to over 100 w and fm 55,love that radio so much,i can talk to anybody i want in any channel or frequency
Sounds like a great setup you have there!
Recently retired and returning to the hobby. I ran across a deal on the Pro version and it seems like pretty good bang for the buck. I haven't had a chance to run it through the paces yet but I'm looking forward to it.
It’s my favorite 10m radio on the market right now
What's with the music in the background?
Nice!
Do you happen to know what is best marine cb radio..old vintage or new...? Um told the only radios that work inntns where i live in mntns..that best..? Confising i have uniden gen grant..cobra 29ltd clasic..bear cat880..they dont seem to work..folks are runing 4 way antennas on hoods n single on roof n one in truck bed..this the only way..? Can you help
How does this differ from the PRO?
There are a lot of difference! I will have to get my hands on a pro and show everyone
I only listen..but its a nice lookin set!!
Great listening rig!
So this is still the same radio as the Radioditty QT-80?
They are doing something with the Qt80s for some more power. This radio is 40w am and about 80 on Sideband
I got mine in 2023.
What’s been your experience?
These are much too cumbersome to navigate. Manual knobs and switches are much quicker and easier to find when they're on the face instead of in the menu. Digging thru a menu every time you want to change noise blanker, or squelch or mic gain is just a pain in the ass. The Stryker 955 is by far the superior radio. And now, the 955 SPC+ is even 100 W radio.
Hey! Thanks for the input. That’s why this is titled “my opinion”. I’m just saying for the size and the money, this is my pick for my radio. Thanks!
I also have a cumbersome radio, a quad five, but I just sat down with the manual for a little bit,
@@75ohmHAM this is why you’re a real ham
@75ohmHAM : It's a mobile radio. Not a good idea to be fumbling thru a menu while driving. Plus, flipping a switch takes much, MUCH less time.
Anything's a mobile if you're brave enough :)
I prefer the layout of the Washington.
That’s interesting, I guess I’ll have to get one and see
@easyamateurradio I ran a Uniden Bearcat 980 in the car for many years. until I replaced it with the Washington.
Unless it doesn't have a split frequency don't buy it. SSB is a must.
It will run a split operation in repeater mode and has SSB.
Cool radio, but to start out, a legal radio would probably be more appropriate. Someone unfamiliar with radio is probably going to do more harm than good to the airwaves pumping out illegal power, possibly causing interference wiith neighbors and such if the antenna isn't tuned properly and all that jazz.
You can turn the power down to power that is appropriate for the FCC Rules. I don’t know if 50 watts would cause interference conditioning the stations that regularly run thousands of watts.
@@easyamateurradio I was meaning towards someone starting out, but interference can be surprising. If I key my 5 watt GMRS on Channel 16 in the vicinity of my computer it starts opening file folders. Or if I key my CB at 4 watts it disrupts my entire sound system if I have it turned on.
Not born a cb radio but a inexp amateur 10 12 meter with software modding available!!! 10 11 12 meteRs then available
11meters available at the push of a button
@@easyamateurradio No jumper swap?
Little radios look boring
Looks can be deceiving
I would not buy a 666 radio. I am a Christian.
My brother in Christ I am too! That’s why I call it a Quad 6
@@easyamateurradio I see.
@@easyamateurradio If it were my company I would have put four sevens instead of 4 sixes. Just my opinion. I will
watch the video. I have 2 Midland 75-822 that I use now. Took mine out of my truck. That radio looks like a good one.
CB is completely useless 4 watts on a hf band lots of noise
I would say that it’s relative to when you’re doing. I use a CB every day at my job, not for fun, but for work. I’m not even a truck driver!
@edcronin5409 The global CB (Citizens Band) radio market has experienced modest growth in recent years. In 2023, the market was valued at approximately USD 226.3 million and is projected to reach around USD 272.9 million by 2030, indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.7% during the forecast period.

After all these many years they are still making them with 4 watts power (12 SSB) and people are still buying them. Anything transmitting more power than that requires a license and for good reason, so that you aren't unintentionally blowing up the local community airwaves and bleeding all over the other channels. And also to prevent people, like one whose name I won't mention, from monopolizing channels nationwide for hours on end.
He works for the gvmt I swear, anyone else would be in prison
