I have both the Anytone AT-6666 and the Maxlog M-8900, many things alike and a few differences. One thing I appreciate about the Q6 is that the mode stays as set on each channel but not with the 8900. The PBT of the 8900 is not really a true Pass Band Tuning and the current version, mine and yours, tracks both RX and TX. I think it is more of an audio bandwidth. Offset can be had on CW with the Maxlog but you have to change the clarifier to offset, at least it stays in a channel 'memory'. Down side of the Quad 6 is that there is no CW mode! Where I live in the States, the 'Superbowl' can be heard daily on 27.025 and both the Anytone and the Maxlog have low channel 'bleedover'! I'm still learning both but these are a whole new class of rigs! Good showing Dave!! mechanic
David Donaldson Thanks Dave! Great stuff. I just saw your latest post arrive in my inbox (I am subscribed to your blog)... This might be my next purchase, 5khz steps, small and 12m - 10m. Will be a good friend for my awesome Optima Mk3 ;)
MostlyPostie Just want to streamline some of the programming first. Still a good set regardless. Much easier to use than the Anyclones but the AT5555N does look very promising. Piss off the Channel selector and reposition the clarifier to in place of it, use 2 of the bands as VFO's with a split feature, bigger heatsink with fan, tighter filter on RX and we would have a radio!!!! But it is pretty good as it is too...
