Awesomeness, count me in !

I would take a few of them. This thing would seriously cut into the Stryker 955 sales, as long as it's priced right.

I think Galaxy/Ranger might be more of a target than Stryker though!

Is this something you photo shopped? Or is it a real thing?

It does say "concept" so I assume it's not real or prototype

Almost Perfect, but i would keep the cost down by eliminating the scanner thing, unnecessary, keep it 25w/8w, no ctcss tone board and split function, not needed. Then it would be perfect. Also extra attention needs to be given to the receiver. Anyone can build a transmitter, big deal. its the receiver that counts and will make or break a radio. Just my opinion and what i see as useful for just a cb radio.

Just saw this on YouTube

I asked my contact at Anytone if I could buy one, he did not deny it's existence. I will find out more this evening as it will be day time there.

The basic VHF RX scanner is already included on the base PCB (same as ARES II) - no additional cost for this. So for no extra cost, you get VHF RX, for USA weather / 2m ham / VHF Marine / as well as Police-Fire-Ambulance service monitoring in some parts of the world.

There is no need to lower the maximum TX power to 25w either - the PCB already exists for these higher power levels (60w SSB, etc). You can adjust it down to 25w with the power knob on the front as you wish.

CTCSS and SPLIT are 100% needed for Ham radio 10m use. This is a key feature of this radio - It would be a REAL 10m / 12m radio.

The RX would be exactly the same as the AT-5555Nii / ARES II - class leading performance is already in there.

This will be nice with the frequency counter.
Could replace the 6666?

IMHO the Quad 6 will always have the advantage of it's smaller size. This new radio looks like it is the size of a "Big" radio.
Now if Qixiang could incorporate the NR feature and dynamic/electret mic choice into the Quad 6 that would be something!

You know JD, after I hit post & went to get another coffee I thought of the size also.

There is actually a new version of the 6666 coming out this summer. Called the 6666+.

New Anytone 6666+

Just bought an Ares2 on Alibaba, talked to Anytone and they mentioned another new radio. The 6666+ with additional features and 85w output. I will see if he can send me some documentation for it. He said it might be available in June. Edit: Oops. This was supposed to be confidential. Pictures...
