    Noise

    Still trying different things to track down the noise. I did hook the radio up to a battery and turned off the main breaker and the noise was still the same. I did notice one thing that puzzled me ; I have two radios that I can use on the same antenna. A Uniden 980 and a Anytone AT6666. The 6666...

    Noise

    I contacted the power company and a guy came out yesterday.. He looked at the insulators from his bucket lift and really couldn't see anything he said. He checked the records and found out the pole in front of our house was installed in 1965. He said the porcelain insulators were the old type...

    I did call the power company and told them I thought I was getting noise from the power lines. They said they would notify our local repair crew and have them check it out. We will see what happens. I will have to check out a balun.... and yes the the mast is conductive and the coax is zip...

    Noise

    I hope I haven't posted this before but if I have just ignore it. I have an AT 6666 and I seem to have a lot of noise on all frequencies, sometimes about a 7or 8 on the meter. My shack is a Little cubby in the corner of my Garage shop which is 100 ft from the house. I have turned everything...

    Anytone 6666 on FM

    Mine is stock and I put a little 12V computer fan behind the heat sink on the radio. A WATT/SWR meter is on my Christmas list.

    Anytone 6666 on FM

    I haven't hooked it up yet. I was hesitant about doing it. A good friend of mine thought it would be ok with the power turned down and it's not that I don't believe him. I was kinda waiting if anyone else has done it. Thank all for the replies.

    Anytone 6666 on FM

    I know I can run the AT6666 on SSB with my KL203P by turning the Output power down but didn't know if it turns the power down on FM. I sure don't want to blow my amp!

    CB Dipole antenna

    I have read about dipole antennas for 11 meter and I want to put up a horizontal dipole and someone posted about a 1/4 wave being the best for DX. I don't understand the difference between 1/4 and 1/2 wave as far as the length of the wire or tubing used . Could someone shed some light on this...

    Anytone AT6666

    What do the letters "A thru J" do when I am on CB mode ? It doesn't explain that in the owners manual or I haven't found it yet. I just got this radio and it's a learning process.
