I actually bought this radio as a backup 11mtr radio for my semi truck. I decided on using my nano VNA to cut down a K40 helical coil antenna to work on 10mtr, and on the first day I was parked at a truck stop in Phoenix,AZ. I worked Florida that day. The following day I was getting unloaded at a dock in Phoenix, and worked North Carolina! I’m a Technician, and this is my first venture in HF. I can now work DX in the truck while I’m traveling. I roll down the highways monitoring 28.400 on 10mtr, 146.520 simplex on 2mtr, and of course CH 19 on 11mtr. Great radio, and easy to use for the new hams out there! 73s KC7VDJ.

@M0RMY 8 месяцев назад

Most of us started with these type of radios ("Expandable" 10m radios) on CB, lets be honest. I still have and use two President Lincolns (version I and II) and a Cobra 148 GTL DX. I like the use of the word "nontroversial". Good video Josh. This radio will be perfect for a new person to enjoy the sun cycle over the next 3 years or so. So what? So get a full HF radio. Save up and get a 450D for example ( yes it will do 11m too)

@JamesKlyng1twofish 8 месяцев назад

I did the same thing with the Anytone 5555. I made a 10m dipole and I used it for a little bit when I was mobile. Worked great. Actually pushing me to get my General.

@wordwalker3 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for the video!!! I had purchased the Anytone "quad 6" based on your previous video. I was a bit confused to find that in addition to the AM, FM, LSB, USB modes on the 10 meter band...it had bands "A, B, C, D..." ("WTH" as I scratch my head🤨.) Your comment to that on this video was extreamly helpful. At least I know that I'm not missing something. Thanks again for your hard work and another great video!

@rider275 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for the information about 10m. I learned something new today. Looking forward to doing some research about building an everyman's POTA setup using the vendors that you mentioned.

@ScatManAust 8 месяцев назад

Got one and love it. I use it in a mobile installation on 10 m and 11m with a homemade whip made from a big 4x4 sand flagpole and get pretty much worldwide. Also, I have 2x AT-5555N2 of which I prefer over the 6666 mainly because it's a physically bigger radio and thus much easier to see and operate. Both are pretty much the same in specs and features. The main problem for me with the 6666 in a mobile install is my scratchers get in the way of the display. The top row of buttons should have been on the lower side so as to be able to see what you are doing. Yes that heat sink in the way of the coax plug IS A REAL PAIN IN THE ARSE.

@DellFargus 8 месяцев назад

Cool little tech-tier radio. I got a President Lincoln II+ when I first got licensed. It does all the same stuff as the Anytone-6666, plus it does CTCSS tones, 12 meter band (that nobody ever ever uses), and with a 1k Ohm resistor and a little soldering, it works on 11 meter band. Not, that I would ever do such a thing! The Presdent has been demoted to my beater truck once I got my general license, but I still use it once in a while.

@RobinP556 8 месяцев назад

Years ago my first HF radio was a 10 meter only sold by Radio Shack. It worked pretty well, it wasn’t my dream rig, but the solar cycle was at a peak at the time and it was what I could afford. It looks like this one fits the same bill.

@phebert140 8 месяцев назад

During the solar peak around 1990/1991 I put a 10meter single band Uniden hr2510 radio in my pickup truck. 20 watts or so output, and got a used 10 meter whip. I had SO MUCH fun during the sunspot peak. It was a small, inexpensive solution where I didn’t need to move my expensive Icom or risk a mobile install of my main rig. Fun stuff, good to see a modern alternative. Definitely would want the tone board, but mobile SSB functionality for me would be the main use case for me.

It was a Uniden HR2510 that whet my appetite for Ham years ago (sadly it died from vibration when 4 wheeling in Death Valley). When I got my General, I forced myself to make a few dozen contacts on a converted Cobra 142 GTL before I bought an FT891. Still have that Cobra, I will never part with it. As a cheap entry point into HF SSB I think the Anytone is worthy.

@AdamosDad 8 месяцев назад

I was told that it has the same mainboard as the Stryker SR955HP, also popular with truckers. I bought one thinking I would just get a TECH license, as it happened, I passed the General as well, so I ended up buying a Xiegu G90. The Stryker ver. will do 70-80 watts FM.

The repeater board is cheap to pick up an easy to put in that radio and so easy to modify that radio in a clean way of course I own three of them and I own three of the Anytone second edition 5555 that radio to is also fun to play with and has a lot of features, anyways I've talked all over the world on those radios and they work like a champ and for the price you can't go wrong😎💯🇨🇦

I dont like the antenna plug much. The rdio tho is a screamer

@AzPauly 8 месяцев назад

Given the caveats you outlined for a 10m single band radio, I think it would be a fun little rig, Radio Shack, as mentioned in the comments was popular and sell quickly on QRZ still..however, as stated, for less than double the cost, a multiband G90 and a 35 question exam will get you all of the HF bands cheaply..with an onboard tuner to boot..

@cidcolead1115 8 месяцев назад

I noticed my Alinco DR-03 (10 FM Only) has SWR protection that reduces the output power with even the slightest mis-match. I wonder if the Anytone AT-6666 does the same. I remember my first CB radio in 1975 Midland 13-896 (AM/SSB) would simply blow up the output transistor if it saw too much reflected power. I converted that radio to 12-meters when that became a band and we had a good Solar Cycle.

Have the same model but it's a Dynascan 10M66 and goes from 25 to 30mhz. Bought it to use in my truck but modern radios with menus, submenus and a million options aren't good for mobile use where you need a good level of practicality.

@D4.4 8 месяцев назад

I bought one last year. It's ok. The VFO is annoying to use in some respects but if you were to couple it with a SDR receiver to see activity on the entire band it would help the process.

@notsure7874 8 месяцев назад

I have this radio. It's OK I guess. Really set up to be a CB radio, with channel banks of 40 chan each. The banks kind of suck, and if you change the freqency while in a channel, it sets that as its new freq so you have to be careful with your memories. It does sound really good, and it's served me well - as a CB. I thought I'd use it more for ham, but that's us not the case so far. I'd honestly say - save the money and put it toward an 891 instead.

The “skip” on 10m will have the long distance stations drown out local traffic more than about a mile away during the daytime (not nighttime when skip dies down). I experienced this specific memory after the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989. I could barely reach my dad, car to tall home antenna, at one mile. At night I talked about 4 to 5 miles from my car at my home to his house. GMRS or MURS has no skip and shorter antennas.

Did you install the ctcss module

Beware of Harbor Freight solar panels on 10 meters. YMMV, but my neighbor has one that has given me trouble on 10 and 6.

What’s the work around? Unplug them from the controller?

Ha the beacon guy answered. I'm not sure his responses aren't automated.

Kc4TVz , beacon guy, is that a linked repeater on 10m? That guy is interesting.

Have you ever noticed or been told you have Sanpaku eyes? Not sure if it's good or bad, just different.

Are digital modes, JS8Call specifically, available for this transceiver?

@HamRadioCrashCourse 8 месяцев назад

It's possible, but you'd had have to wire up a speaker, mic, PTT solution. But just assume no.

@HamRadioCrashCourse, Thanks Josh. Les at HamMadeParts pointed me to these two cables he sells that together should make the connection: Anytone AT-5555n RJ-45 Mic Plug and 1/8" Speaker Plug to 5 Pin Din or DB9 TNC Plug TNC Cable Adapter - 5 Pin Din Female to Mobilinkd or DigiRig 3.5 mm TRRS plug

LMAO, yes, that would be the way. Jam cables into the audio in and out from radio to computer :D
