AnyToneAT-6666PRO 10 Meter Mobile Radio for Truckers,80W High Power Ham Mobile Transceiver. AM 80W(PEP) / FM 50W / SSB 80W(PEP).RX and TX Noise Reduction, CTCSS/DCS with RX/TX Split Function

For the money this is the bomb. Quiet with great listening. This keeps up with and surpasses reception on my prized Ranger 2950, CPI 2100 and my Lafayette Telsat (Cybernet) 140. All of these SSB radios receive better than my new ICOM 7300 (scarry because we know all the new stuff is better??????????) Well with this gem, newer may be better? Amazing since the Ranger is a 10-year-old design and CPI/ Lafayette are respectfully 45 plus year old designs, but I digress! The radio is a barrel of monkeys. Surface mount, quiet, with great adjacent channel rejection and noise filtering. I do not know if there is a better microphone for it. I made three contacts of 1500 miles on my mobile antenna. I also enjoyed the automatic squelch which I have never encountered on my antique radios. Zero carrier signals with only are clear as a bell. Some complain about getting the antenna cable on the back. (I am in my mid-sixties and have no trouble getting the 259 connectors on). My only concern so for is that the knobs look and feel delicate. Probably would be nice to keep a set on hand before the radio is discontinued. My radio shop looked in the radio and tried it out. They were impressed with the radio and especially the audio. I used some inexpensive RCA plug connector ear buds. My wife does not want to hear the radio. I am getting RF on transmit over the ear buds. I do not know if the problem is with the ear buds or the radio. Not a big problem. I would recommend this for anyone wanting an inexpensive 10-meter radio. The built-in speaker is adequate but will probably be a bit low for noisy environments or diesel truck cabs) Just do not tell the HAM gate keepers, they may have a temper tantrum (not on the approved equipment list). Let it be your secret and enjoy the reports you get for good clear audio. Smile! In the end its' a fun radio for a fun hobby. Hope to hear you on the air. 73's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome price, works great easy to upgrade, excellent sound on skipland..

I'm an Amateur Radio Operator. When the frequency conversation is performed to this radio, it will offer 10 meters, 11 meters (unlicensed CB band), 12 meters and 15 meters. For use of the 3 amateur bands, this is an excellent little transceiver for what it is. I get compliments with its sound quality from people on the receiving end, using only the supplied hand microphone. I did perform the hand microphone modification (DIY), to be able to plug in any type of CW keyer to it. That works very well for what it is, too. Using the PC and the appropriate USB programming cable for this transceiver, I was able to successfully perform the latest available firmware and DSP updates to it. The latest updates provided more CW options in the menu that are useful. The updates also provides a way to change the color of the display when you put the transceiver into transmit mode, and the receiver mode can show a different display color. That's kind of nifty. There are no roger beeps with this radio (a good thing). The frequency is very stable and on target, and it doesn't drift. The modulation level is loud and strong. The receiver DSP audio, the receiver NB and ANL are fantastic. I'm not too impressed with the microphone trnr function, but it works reasonably well if you have to have it on for some reason I'm a noisy vehicle or room. The VOX is fairly good, but there is room for additional improvement. The spectral purity of the transmitter is slightly below -43 dBm, regarding the harmful and interference causing harmonics and splatter, so it passed the FCC requirements to be legally used on the Amateur Radio bands. The receiver sensitivity is better than an Icom 7300. This radio "hears" very well. The only downside is that the radio tends to get quite hot in 2 ways. One way it gets hot is via the AM modulation regulator transistor, a TIO36C, so an upgraded transistor is necessary, and it should be mounted onto its own heatsink to provide better cooling for it. The IRF 520 MOSFET transistors that are used in the final PA section get the rear heatsink very hot, and no fans are provided to cool that heatsink. The rear heatsink design doesn't allow you to easily screw on the PL-259 connector of the coaxial cable to it very easily, either. This radio would be better suited in the frame or chassis of the AnyTone 5555 N 2, using the same heatsink as the 5555 N 2. Sure it would be a physically larger transceiver, but at least modifications could be easier made for better cooling using fans on the rear heatsink. Outside of this transceiver getting way too hot, it's been a great radio. Some modifications will need to be made to upgrade the AM regulator transistor (Palomar Max Mod transistor from eBay), a heatsink for it, and maybe changing the heatsink on the back of this radio for one that is the same that the 5555 N 2 uses, so that 50 mm by 50 mm cooling fans can be mounted and used with it. So far, it's a great radio, outside of it getting away too hot.

Attached to an EFHW antenna I easily contact Europe, South America and locations all around the US. And that’s just using 10 meter usb. It’s a very easy radio to use.

Very noisy receiver on SSB while mobile. Noise blanker is poor. RF gain control takes incoming signal down, but has a issue with lowering the incoming person's volume with it.The original Quad 6 has a superior noise blanker on SSB and does not attenuate the incoming volume of the signal when lowering the RF gain control.
