Conversion and menu settings on the Anytone AT-6666

[@williampiergiovanni5227]

I too will thank you for a wonderful video. I received the same radio today and watched your video and saved your video because I’m going to use it as a learning tool from my dumb old brain. By that I mean, I’m not as young as I used to be, I see 80 years coming over the horizon. No matter, cause guys like you are out there! Thank You….

[@petergoudy9013]

Good video. I just bought one of these and I'm blown away with it. Waiting for the data cable in the mail to learn how to use this radio more efficiently. Out of the box it is an impressive radio. Uncluttered but sophisticated with its high end features. Thanks for going through the menus. I just wish the manual in the box had more than 10 pages.

[@WillieJu]

Cool thanks for the video, just bought one and was delivered today - cant wait to test it out on CB band

[@dankizanis7877]

thank you for sharing this video. you explained everything i wanted to know. i will be ordering one soon. 73's Dan in Seattle,Wa 2052 . hope to work your station on lsb 38

[@smithsterj]

I’m thinking of getting a 10 meter rig and this tops my lost because of the size. Just hope the bands open up soon.

[@ericpalmu9694]

Best info on AT 6666 I've found!!!

[@morrisdennis]

I'm thinking about buying one, it is 10m that pick up cb to right?

[@BigO-e1k]

Thanks fella watched this after hrs of trying to work out the renters settings... grate help ;)

[@davydacounsellor]

Got myself a mirage mx 25 it has hidden menus too trying to figure at mo great vid thanks for sharing given me a couple of ideas, cheers

[@jameshowardiii9304]

Isn't that TA in Maybrook, NY??

[@GunnerVNVMC]

I just got one. Great review.

[@AggiePhil]

Brightness adjustment?

[@RR-ny4bc]

Nice video. Is there a VOX setting?

[@BarefootBeekeeper]

You can set the upper and lower DC voltage limits in software, to prevent it shutting down on 12.25v after you switch off the engine. I run mine on a 14.8v 5Ah LiPo battery.

[@davianlarente225]

you still have the radio? How do you like it?

[@erics6177]

Is the tone board easy to find? Can you adjust tones on the fly if you hear another repeater come in?

[@Mo-gm5zm]

Curious, when you switch it to cb, does it also cut the power down to 4watts?

[@EdzashedFudwinkle]

No mate, on 11m I get 55w(pep) and on Fm here in England, 45w UK40Fm, but 20w is plenty for local Dx

[@brandonhilligas7648]

All you have to do is turn it on and hit the mode button, when you do it this way it still pops up on FM. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

[@brianradio7311]

good video,i like my quad 6 also.

[@dirtyd8611]

Great little radio, i use one for base station 👍

[@ironhead320]

Did you ever get the echo

[@Hammerjockeyrepair]

Dont forget, If you change the frequency while on a certain channel, that channel will remain at that new frequency until you put it back to normal!

[@notsure7874]

Yeah, this thing doesn't operate like anybody would expect a radio to work. It has 5 "memory" slots, but really the "bands" are banks of 40 memories each, and the "frequency mode" doesn't change you to a VFO mode, it just alters the current channel you're on. I should have saved my money and got a Yaesu FT-891, or an Icom IC-7100 instead. It shouldn't have repeater functions, or FM, or more than 1 channel bank - OR a "frequency" mode really. It's a CB that can't be sold as a CB because of its power levels.

[@EdzashedFudwinkle]

Whats with the loud BLEEP when you turn on tbe radio? There isnt even an option to turn it off

[@captaininsano2777]

Do you still have this radio sir? If so, how has it been for you? This is the best video on KZbin for this radio!

[@GaryLordsWayMinistry]

How the devil do you get the talk back turned off?

[@LIVINGRETIRED310]

I just got the AT6666 and your video helped alot. Made it much easier. Thanks. I do have one question. On the roger beeps. How did you hear them as you were going through the selection

[@EdzashedFudwinkle]

2nd radio mate #4 is the best RB, although I just said in my previous comment, whats with the loud BLEEP when you turn it on, wakes half the house up. Lol

[@flpirate4565]

Thanks for the setup video

[@tinkf250]

What antenna are you using?

[@JoeR203]

I wish I knew about these radios before I bought two President Johnny IIIs for my Jeeps. I wanted something small and powerful.....but just got small. New Milford, CT. here. Never much CB traffic in this area though. I have an old RCI Ranger RG-99 that I used as a base station in a house with an Antron A-99. But I'm in a condo now and I doubt an indoor antenna would work. The RG-99 is a good radio but the echo and talkback stopped working. Not sure if it's worth sending out for repair. I should probably just sell it.

[@AICMasta]

Get it fixed then list it on EBay and get the radio you want!

[@rodyoung2320]

Hello, i just got this radio yesterday. My question is, on roger beep menu, how do you get to hear the roger beep? I'm not able to hear mine when i go though the different beep sounds. Thank you. Great radio and vid. Rod..

[@normangrady4986]

Too liston to mine I turn the talk back on and echo and it can be herd.its better with a external speaker .

[@AndrewSchott]

Thanks. You just sealed the deal on snatching a 6666 up. Be a nice pairing with my ham/gmrs rig. 👍

[@MrCofresipirate]

What is your antenna setup?

[@joecarty8579]

Cheers for the mod info

[@mickgatz214]

where can i find the antenna, please?

[@bensmith136842]

Did you have it tuned or u running it stock? What watts it does?

[@EdzashedFudwinkle]

60w Pep 45w UK40Fm 30w Am All are variable so you can run 8w and an amp, or 20,30w local Dx, radio has plenty of punch, great Rx/Tx too.

[@erics6177]

So on 10 meter, i can program channels as repeaters? On 11 meter (cb) do i need to manually program the frequencies on?

[@christopherkennedy705]

For CB just make sure you goto Band D, Band D is the standard 40 channel CB channels (frequencies) for the US. No need to manually program.

[@Jake2670]

@@christopherkennedy705 but can U program both 10 n 11m into memory? online says only has 40 memories ?

[@AussieMaleTuber]

That's great, thankyou very much!

[@keithcappell7584]

Where can I get a good copy of the Anytone AT-6666 programming software? Thanks.

[@timmycampbell7168]

Keith Cappell - probably look on the worldwide dx forums.

[@georgecrisson2915]

does it have a variable output? and what kind of output in watts?

[@paganphil100]

George Crisson: Yes....the output is approx 40 Watts on FM and approx 60 Watts on SSB. Frequencies for the "export" version are from 25 - 30 mhz (no gaps).

[@AICMasta]

@@paganphil100 Can it get to a specific frequency, like, say, 27.4200?

[@paganphil100]

@@AICMasta : Yes, it has a VFO so it can be tuned to any specific frequency between 25.625 Mhz and 30.105 Mhz. (Some of the latest versions can also tune down to 24 Mhz).

[@AggiePhil]

Thoughts on this radio vs. the Styker SR-94HPC? Talking about 11m/CB band for both.

[@kixster347]

The SR 94 does not have SSB

[@petergoesinya636]

You can adjust echo with the optional data cable and a computer, no? 6:23

[@Radioaddict2200]

Yes, but you need a special serial cable that you can buy online. You can also adjust the roger beeps with a computer

[@DieselTrucker2018]

Why do they tilt the antennas at and angle? Also, how did you connect an ext speaker? There's no output on it.

[@paganphil100]

DieselTrucker 2018 : There's a socket for an external speaker next to the USB socket (at about 9.50 in video).

[@erics6177]

And mode will change from sidebands and am and fm?

[@christopherkennedy705]

Yes USB LSB FM AM.

[@jasonmiller9495]

I’m picking one of these up . Where are you getting your power supply from ? Would I be able to use the terminals ?

[@paganphil100]

Jason Miller: You will need AT LEAST a 15 amp power-supply (most people here use a 20 - 30 amp PSU with this radio).

[@mokotramp]

I've rigged a fan up to the back of mine, it gets ridiculously hot on full power on extended use! I've also just picked up a used Magnum 1 just last week, can't buy them in the UK anymore?! Nice rig but is so under powered compared to the Anytone! Its only 20w on FM and 60w pep on ssb. Shame really as it's a great looking rig with a great sound, it's a little awkward to use though compared to the Anytone. If I had to choose only one, it would be the Anytone. It's a wolf in sheep's clothing!

[@anarchytelevision8445]

📡🔊👊👀👍 from the 1122wingnut radio

[@normangrady4986]

The AT 6666 is almost the exact same as the Stricker 955.they have the same 4 finals also the finals from the Palomar linar will fit in the At6666 and Striker955.i really like mine.

[@gsadventure8785]

Hey hi there I just came across your video I’m actually considering purchasing this radio I wanted to find out if you still have it and do you still recommend it and if not can you please tell me if you replace it with something else better and if you’re happier with it sorry for all the questions would appreciate any advice that anyone in yourself and give me

[@613nwct]

ptsbc941 it works excellent thank you

[@EdzashedFudwinkle]

Menu/Band/turn on at same time gives you the option of 10m or cbband, click cbband, turn off, and tou us good to go.

[@ShainAndrews]

When I cycle through the roger beeps I don't hear them. Am I missing something? New radio and I want to verify all the functionality. Appreciate your video. Certainly got me up an running very quickly.

[@TheRogerKyle]

Shain Andrews you can't hear them on mine either

Need to turn talk back on to here roger beep

You made it seem easy compared to reading the manual

[@johnsaunders2178]

All 8 Roger beeps,can be used as well..

[@BlackHamRadioUniversity]

Does the Anytone 6666 come with a plug that plugs right into the cigarette lighter?

[@rabbibacongrease88]

Which microphone are you using with that thing?

[@supertoaster94]

Kayan is a nice color.

[@jaynajman3923]

nice? its about the same size of the Lincoln 2.

[@TheRogerKyle]

Jay Najman little smaller actually

[@williamlane5515]

Can you scan the 40 converted CB channels and can you delete a channel?

William Lane yes scan works with auto sq

[@washingtonstatepicker3460]

I want one! I want the President Lincoln 2 with 10 and 12 meters!

[@lukebray2192]

You don’t have the camera on the radio

[@scottcarrier1121]

Very similar to the President Lincoln 2+

[@rustylockard6407]

nice radio ,but who needs echo and the Roger beep . those are worth less options.

[@petergoesinya636]

most echo users use WAYYYY too much echo. I use the tiniest bit, so little that you might not even know I have it turned on. that's enough

[@craig_sez8534]

@@petergoesinya636 They dont hear how much echo is goin out so they think its not as bad as what goes out over the air...On my cobra ext speaker it has a ear piece jack and i plug in cell phone ear buds and tune the amount of echo to the point that its there but barely..Huge difference.....Had a bud record my tx and as i already said,its there but barely..Why it works better that way i dont know..

[@russelllockard1954]

Echo robs you of modulation.and sounds like crap on sideband,the audio quality of this radio doesn't require further enhancement.but pick your poison.have fun and enjoy 😋

[@morrisdennis]

It looks very complicated 😕

[@INTHEMIX74]

lol cant imagine it working great with a antenna at 45Degrees lol

[@mcconja]

INTHEMIX74 a lot of trucks require you mount them at 45 to get a low swr. It’s odd. The cascadia trucks are really tough.

[@captlarry-3525]

nothing smarter than putting the speaker up high so it blocks as much windshield as possible. Typical CBer mentality.
