Not really turdish per se. If you run like a TS500 or higher behind it. It has kinda like a base look to it IMO. The lack of second stage IF filter may affect things. I didn't want to risk buying another 5555 and have to add filter and reset things to get the same type of specs as the 6666.
I'm considering buying the at-5555 from coppers. Got a voyage vr9000 now. will the 5555 be an upgrade?

Welcome Mark! I'm not sure if I have ever seen a vr9000, do you have any pictures? I have a 5555 and it is the best value going in my opinion.
Not so good at sending pictures. I'm old. 9000 looks like an old mirage 88 if that helps any?
Both!
I have and like the 5555. And I just ordered a 6666.

You're gonna like the quad 6. Excellent mobile. I run one in my truck along with the Sirio Performer 5000 and get good reports.
I was just reading the manual on the Quad 6, and it apparently has CTCSS tones! That's good news because it means I can use the 10M repeaters without having to add an aftermarket tone board.
The AT-5555 doesn't have tones built in. It's no problem to add them, but it's convenient that the 6 already has them.

I don't think it has them either. I believe it has option for a tone board.
Oh well. At least it has a menu item to control it. I wonder if the board is actually available? I'll have to take a look on ebay. I did find the programming cable there.
I'll have to watch for it; I was just there and didn't see one. I did order the programming cable, though. Not the cheap one. I saw that BlueMax49ers sells one for the 6, and having bought cables from him for commercial VHF/UHF radios, decided it was worth the extra money.
