I have been pondering picking up a 6666 for my pickup. I have been rotating between a connex 4800 ( took out for winter..drifter) and 2950 (in place now) and old TS5010. Guess it might be time to add a new flavor to the mix. I'm torn between the 6666 and a 955..

Scott's has a sale on the most current crt 9900 (quad 6). I think he's asking 230 right now.

I got an Anytone 6666 for Christmas! It was bought from Amazon. Seller was Lucky Product.

The one I got has hot AM. True peak at 72 watts out of the box. Side band was 60 watts. FM was dead on 35 watts. Manual says 45 watts for FM, but I think they lowered that because that could be a bit much for the wrap around heat sink.

Not going to open it up. It's good as it is. The receive on SSB is not at 12:00 on the clarifier...cocked just a bit to the right of 12:00. Friend of mine said his was the same way.

Oh yeah. The radio killed my Pyramid PS14KX.5. Bought a Meanwell LRS 350-12 29 amp continuous switcher. Fan does not even run on the Meanwell. The LRS 350-12 manual says 13.8 max voltage, but they will turn up higher than that. Mine turned up to 14.17 volts.

I would open and turn down to say 50w for your AM max swing. Mine is running 50/50/40 and has been running great for 3 years now or so. Use it as a base unit.

    Ham radio operators (VHF/UHF) should pay attention to enhanced radio propagation paths throughout the middle latitudes and equatorial region, a common occurrence following such events. :coffee: (y)
  • @ BJ radionut:
    Had "Aurora" propagation on CW/SSB on 6m last evening. (300-700m range here) The 2m guys had lots of Ducting/TROPO between the East Coast and Gulf Coast op's, even early today.

    good morning to all :)
