Got my Quad6 up and running. Nice radio and many useful programmable features. The upper bands are dead right now so can't get on the air with anyone yet. I tested the audio against my other radios with a new $50 desk mic I wired up with an electret element and the audio sounds good. The stock...

The ClearSpeech from West Mountain Radio I think is the better one out there. They sell a unit which lets you use your own speaker or I think your better off using the DSP amplified speaker. This is a LOUD speaker if you really want both volume and DSP. These aren't cheap, around $200 but are...

I figured it needs a mod for 15m because I didn't see it in any of our radio YouTube videos, Easy mod though. Thanks AudioShockwave for posting that. A bit of a jump around between band letters for the different bands but I would assume moving the cursor with VFO tuning would be sequential...

OK, thanks for posting. That will be useful when I receive my radio this week.

Is that a software download or something else?

Neat that the guy makes videos of your radio before he ships it out. Here's mine;

OK, I wasn't ware it's a radio club, I can respect that. Thanks for bringing that up.

Too many "World radio's" and "Needle Benders" out there to where it's comical. Many radio's are capable of talking around the world and nobody is bending anyone's needle. Better to use your official CB call sign for those that have one or just make up numbers for your ID and not copy others.

I think best option for now if you want this radio is Scotts Radio in Michigan. Site says you can pre-order and should be July to mid August. https://www.scottsradios.com/product-page/anytone-at-6666-pro

Appears he doesn't have them in stock yet with an August ship date.

Good it's just that, stuff it with some foam should deaden the hollow mic compartment sound and fix the other issue. I'm trying my luck wiring a electret desk mic to the radio.

Very well could be an ALC spike, my 2950 does the same.

Is there software available for radio programming???

Also Scotts radio website says programming cable included too.

Just pre-ordered mine from Scotts Radio too, thanks Shadetree for the tip! I've seen the prototype and it does do 15m, hope the final version does too.That is a factor why I want this radio but it'll still be a keeper if it doesn't. I have a new electret desk mic fron W2ENY that Crawdad posted...

Are you sure about that? Best I could find is that computer port in the radio is for a programming cable, not CAT control which is needed for digital modes and modern Ham rigs do have. Icom still uses CI-V (and USB too) which does the same. Also that radio doesn't do 15m, it does go below the...

That sounds like it may work but mods have to be done to the radio. Since the OP hasn't made purchases yet, I would still recommend going the with a real Ham rig. This will be a sure thing without extra mods, cables, and devices to achieve the same goal on top of just being better radio's.

Not sure how it taps audio out from a mic jack that DOESN'T have RX audio out. One of the mic pins on the Lincoln does have receive but that's usually a ground that switches out receive if the mic is disconnected like Cobra 29s do. As for TX with that radio you'll have to use VOX which that...

Much higher if the beam is horizontal compared to a vertical. Remember on a vertical, its the feedpoint height is what counts not the tip of the antenna height. So the feedpoint and overall height of a horizontal antenna can be up at 60ft as opposed to a 18ft vertical which would only be 42ft.

Looks like that extra height from the extension pole wouldn’t survive high winds. I wouldn’t feel comfortable where I live with that. Not a bad deal if it isn't rusted. I assume it's local pickup. I would ask if the tower base is in concrete and if the base section is hinged. You may need a...
