ANYTONE 6666

[Tucker442]

CTCSS is already in the radio from what I read in the manual

How do you compare this rig against the Optima?

 

[Tucker442]

Duster you know I love the Optima and I would put this one right up there with it, I think the recieve on the 6666 is a bit more filtered but still very good, about the same size. Everyone raves about the audio with the stock mic we both know the Optima stock mic was junk and had to buy an ICom mic to make them sound good. Not these, the stock mic works the best, it has the same pin wiring as a Magnum so I tried an adapter with a CR 577 and was told the stock mic still sounded better.

No CTCSS in the AT-6666.
have to order it when you order the radio.
Seems the factory install it themselves.

What about 12 meters?

I would ipbe interested in knowing how it performs on the ham bands.

 

[Tucker442]

as long as it's a SSB it would perform very well wattage stays the same no matter what frequency it's on

12m?

I don't think it does 12m. the pc program would not accept 24,800 mhz
I might be wrong....

12 meters is a petty. I am more concerned with its ability to hear weak signals, signal rejection, agc speed, etc... I know its not a real rig but to have it as a second radio just listening to ten meters might be nice.

Just modify an old CB for 10 meters.

You want that you will have to step up to Yaecomwood stuff.

All these exports are really "CB/Freeband radios"s in sheeps clothing.

 

[vkrules]

Agreed , I have all three. but I still like to have something a bit cheaper ,and smaller ,to throw in the car when I want to play on 10 and 11 and maybe 12.

 

[magnuman]

Optima or ver.8 of the maxlogs for 12m. Anytone dont seem to want to go there.

Oh I know that, you didn't read my SIG.

 

[vkrules]
