Beautiful radio John ,, I love those Anytones ,, they sound HF Rig quality ,, congratulations on the radio ! I’m jealous ,, and proud for you at the same time !!!
Such a great radio . Run one in car and one in house on base antenna . Always wanted try Lincoln II . However , anytone has very impressed me so much . 154 Richmond Virginia
Hello, John, Good to here you on the air especially with the Anytone AT-6666, been using mine for 2 years base and mobile. The best radio I ever used . I also have a President washington and my anytone out dones them for sure have a good one...
Great Christmas present! I really like the q6. There is a ton of menu options and I’m still finding new stuff it’ll do. Can’t wait for the Aires2 to come out.
Great radios! I have 2 of those here one in the base and one in my truck! For Christmas this year i gave myself lol an anytone 5555n II it is fantastic as well. Happy new year 151! I will be looking for you soon on the air waves. 73..... 9WR520
Great receive John. I totally agree with you on the Lincoln , I used to own one. Not the best receive. I wish you a very Happy New Year, all the best to you and your family...!! and everyone else here...!!!
I too had the Lincoln 2 and it's a junk 200 double zero in erie pa good job on that radio I too have the 6666 in my truck love it great radio no problem with it .
Same here, but I have 1x 6666 and 2x 5555nll and the Lincoln ll+. The 5555nll is my favorite because of the size, I do love the 6666 too but its fiddly with my big scratchers.
It's interesting how everyone's got their likes and dislikes regarding the receive side of radios.. Personally of the 4 cb radios I own I like the receives in this order: 1. Anytone 6666. Hands down best receive. Absolutely love it! Zero complaints. Both ssb and am sound choice. 2. Anytone 5555N ii. Many may disagree with putting this below the quad 6 but the dsp filtering in mine has a digital quality that is a little unnatural and it kind of bothers me. Don't get me wrong it has a fantastic receive but personally I like the quad 6 receive better. 3. Uniden 980 Bearcat. Pretty decent receive. I don't care for how it doesn't have an rf gain knob but rather push button. Other than that pretty nice receive on both am and ssb. 4. President Lincoln 2 Plus. I don't hate it and think the am receive is fantastic but like was mentioned in this video the distortion that comes through on ssb is just terrible sometimes. Mine doesn't always have this distortion and I can't quite figure out what is going on here. Sometimes it sounds good but sometimes distorted. Having said this the president lincoln shines in how easy it is to navigate. I put this at the top in the navigation department so I will definitely keep it in the rotation. 73
I'm hearing many good things about those Anytones! The 6666 is supposed to be a similar build to the 955? Good hearing you out there yesterday! Wagonmaster 390 live gate was good stuff. I tried reaching out to that PEI station, but too noisy for this mobile from NC. 314/UDX314!
Ok, Scott. "73" => "Best Regards". Since it's already plural there's no need to add the "s" at the end. We get it. Listening to the upper CB channels, (as in, 'This is NOT Ham") we often use "73's". That's just the way it is. You're not going to be able to get us all to go with "73" so if it troubles you, please kindly return to Ham. We're here to congratulate John on the great radio his son bought for him for Christmas, not the proper use of "73". So please, let it go and celebrate the New Year. 73, 325NJ
Good morning John,,, I am heading up to Cape Cod Tuesday. If you've seen any if my videos, we deliver Class A RV's and I'm heading up there to buy one from a client.
I’m a ham operator and I listen to the cb bands occasionally. I have an Anytone 6666 I’m about to add to my truck. Im curious what the 3 digit identifications I’m hearing cb operators use represents. Thanks
Nice! the 6666 is a great radio. Most of the numbers are self assigned, they're used as an easy way to identify a station. I use "151" because of a 151 cubic inch engine Chevy made in the 70's.
I just ordered one of these a couple days ago after first hearing about it on You Tube and doing INTENSE research for like 3 days straight. What antenna are you using in this outstanding video? Thank you sir!!! BTW, where in SC? I'm a Summerville Greenwave re-located to Alaska.
Awesome! I'm sure you're going to love your new radio. I have mine connected to a half wave ground plane antenna. Thanks for watching, 73's from 151 SC. midlands.
It would be great If I could do a video with you also, on my way back through. Mike and I met at one if his local parks. Anxious to here from you , thanx brother, love your videos.
The Stryker 955, quad 5 and quad 6 sound amazing on the air, good quality sound. John youve got a cool sounding voice on the air, you should work as a dj at a radio station.
Nice Video John,The Lincoln 2 + haves a terrible frontend and bad internal shielding for local QRM!Totaly not worth it,Happy New Year to you and yours sir!best 73s from Alex 31LR176 from Portugal
The Lincoln II+ ,, oh jeeez 151, you’ve opened up a can of worms 🤣🤣,, Ive decided to just enjoy mine on AM , I love it for AM , Matt made mine as good as you can get it , and I’ll leave it at that . Shame on President , cause it’s mediocre at best on SSB audio output ,, but honestly mine shines like a Diamond on AM ,, output and receive , so I’ll just be happy for that
lol, This video has already received a thumbs down, and I'm sure there will be more. I agree with you, they are good on AM, But I only use SSB, So I'm currently using my Lincoln II+ as a paper weight. Take care Dallas, 73's

Well....I'm about 900 miles south of Connecticut, So I don't think it will work. Maybe if you're ever going through South Carolina, We could give it a try.
Nice looking radio John thanks for the videos. Where will the next ham fest be you keep up with them better than me. I live in NC and never hear about them until after it over.
I tried the d104 hand mike, sounds good but sometimes I hear a sort of crunchy sound, guessing it's the ptt switch inside the mike? Other than that it sounds good.
Hey 151 it's 289 Ontario.. do You by chance run the Quad 6 with an Amp?.. if so.. Did you lower your dead key? or just turn down your RF power knob? Great sounding radio unbelievable... You are always a strong Contact I'll be keeping my ears open up here In Ontario 🇨🇦 Vinny 289 🇨🇦

I too had the Lincoln 2 and it's a junk
200 double zero in erie pa good job on that radio I too have the 6666 in my truck love it great radio no problem with it .
These are great DX radios on SSB.
A DSP filtering speaker would do wonders for the receiver sound of that radio.
Mike from Wagonmaster 390 says hi! We did a video together when my wife and I was coming back from Reno.
glad you got the quad 6 great great mobile radio with a 4 pill added to it great awesome DX monster!!!
Thanks! I have a small 2 pill behind it, and it's doing great! Take care Mr. Stoner, Happy New Year.
that anytone AT-6666 sounding good........
Thanks 362, Happy New Year.
I love my 6666. You should try FM down on 26.805. It also sounds awesome on FM.
Same here, but I have 1x 6666 and 2x 5555nll and the Lincoln ll+.
The 5555nll is my favorite because of the size, I do love the 6666 too but its fiddly with my big scratchers.
And yes , the FM is awesome.
Just need more people to invest in an FM as its pretty lonely here in outback downunder.
I've had the same problem, My big mitts have a little trouble with those small knobs and buttons.
I love my AT6666,had it for over a year now. Im sure youll enjoy yours.

I noticed you are on band A ,why not D?
I thought this radio is 10m only?
im a truck driver does the quad 6 hold up out of the box long term
However I will need a full tank to get to Virginia. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I bought a President McKinley very disappointed in the receive on it. Picked up a DX 959 and can hear very well now.
I also have a McKinley, and it doesn't impress me either, the 959 is a much better radio.
Si what do you think about doing a video with me, Im crossing over into Connecticut now on I195
Well....I'm about 900 miles south of Connecticut, So I don't think it will work. Maybe if you're ever going through South Carolina, We could give it a try.
Nice looking radio John thanks for the videos. Where will the next ham fest be you keep up with them better than me. I live in NC and never hear about them until after it over.
The next one is the Charlotte hamfest. 4551 old airport rd Concord NC. March 10 + 11. I'm not sure if I'm going, it's a 2.5 hour drive for me.

what is a good power mike to use with the 6666 ?
I tried the d104 hand mike, sounds good but sometimes I hear a sort of crunchy sound, guessing it's the ptt switch inside the mike? Other than that it sounds good.

if you turn up the power it will get hot. I'm running mine the way it came from the factory, and it runs cool.
