Anytone AT 6666

Yes they do run warm, part of the reason I turned down the powa on mine. It still gets pretty warm but one of mine has been 3 plus years going strong with steady use as base.

The 6666 and the 9900 are the same radio with one exception. The 9900 has 12 meters. I have both radios and am very pleased.

Got mine installed yesterday. Hoping to get some playtime with it this evening. I know conditions are not the best right now, but if someone wants to try to link up on the airwaves this evening let me know and we will try to make it happen

Anyone got any good recommendations on an amp for this radio to install in truck. Wanting to sling some power but don't want an amp too big that's a pain to find a place to install

that's going to be problematic since the radio will need to be de=tuned to run most amps in the 100-400w range. Above that it's a whole new power distribution system for your vehicle. Just run it like it is. You'll be happier in the long run.

I'm completely new to this hobby and I appreciate your input. I think the best thing I need at this point is a mentor who knows all about this stuff

You was correct I would be happy. Just made contact from Tennessee to Kansas on 38 lsb. I have to say this is pretty cool
**edit** made contact with 1079 in Minneapolis Minnesota. Thanks for all the help guys. This is going to be an addicting hobby

The quad 6 is a nice radio. I have one in my truck. But they don't like to be modified. I have a Sirio P5000 mag mount and it works well. I did add a Turner +3B hand mic and get compliments on how well it sounds. Enjoy your new radio!

I have the same set up here in the PNW and I've worked most of the country on it. I'm a massive fan of Sirio antennas and probably wouldn't buy any different manufacturer at this point due to their reliability and ease of use.
