Some frequencies are skipped on the CB channels because they were used for the old 27MHz Remote Control 'crystal' frequencies for remote control cars etc. Not really used anymore but the CB frequencies have kept the channel list.
The skipped frequencies are because they are used for radio controlled frequencies. Early phase looked loops had limitations that disallowed the use of the skipped frequencies for that band segment. They were made into RC frequencies so as not to waste the skipped frequencies. The seemingly scrambled frequencies are because they were adapted into CB in a rather messed up order from another radio service when the CB band went from 23 channels to 40 channels.
There are different frequencies in the 'bands' (that are actually memory slots). Check first if the frequencies you want to input are already there, in some other band than 'A'. The groups feature is used to create separate teams of freqs. In combination with CTCSS and DCS you can create groups that communicate in the same 'channels' without interfering with each other.
The "CB" in the US is BAND D. Be in channel mode not Freq mode and you will be all good. AM/USB/LSB contacts across the board. FM in Band E Might land you some UK contacts never know.
If you select a "channel" and then switch to frequency mode and change the frequency, you are effectively changing the frequency of the "channel" and the new frequency that you changed to is saved to that channel slot. Kind of annoying if you ask me, but that's how this radio operates. The frequencies were out of order on your radio were set that way because you were on those channels when you switched to frequency mode and changed the frequency with the vfo knob.
I programmed 5 or the 6 memory channels for 3a, 7a, 11a, 15a, and 19a. But as this radio is designed for an electret element, seems you can't use say a handheld power mike with good results. Heard some of the Lincolns allow you to switch between condenser types. Anyone have success putting say a D104 power hand mike on this radio?
Hello, and thanks for the nice video! May I ask you, which OS you have used in this video? I saw some reports, that it wouldn't work under windows 8 or 10?!
I just got my anytone 6666. Can I pick someone’s brain regarding the programming. I have the software downloaded. Now I’m on the screen where the frequency channels are. Do I have to manually input all the channels?
I can run the software - links here simonthewizard.com/2014/10/13/at6666-crt9900-software/ - under WINE on Linux, but I can't seem to get the comms port to recognise the radio. Anyone solved this?
You can use the computer software. You can also do it when powered on by entering the one of the hidden menu modes. You can enter 1 of the hidden menus by holding in the channel selector button until the menu appears an to enter the second hidden menu you hold in the menu button to enter the 2nd hidden menu. @@vsmichael1
Where can I go to download the software? I went to the manufacturers website, downloaded the software but upon trying to install the software it wanted to also install / modify Microsoft Office 2010. I'm not sure why it was attempting to modify or install my copy of Microsoft Office 2010, something just doesn't feel right about the software. This is where I was able to locate the software wouxun.us/Software/AnyTone-Software/
exactly what I was thinking. I really dislike seeing someone post a "how to" video when they truly don't know what they are doing or how to properly do what they are proposing. All this fella had to do was a little more googling and he would have found the easy way to enable CB band and he also would have learned that Band D is the United States CB frequencies when CB mode is enabled.

Band D is the CB frequency band with all the cb channels already programmed in.
Some frequencies are skipped on the CB channels because they were used for the old 27MHz Remote Control 'crystal' frequencies for remote control cars etc. Not really used anymore but the CB frequencies have kept the channel list.
they're know as the "Alpha" If the radio is full freq, 3A etc. should come up

Got to read about CB history, my friend

Dispongo de la dinascan 10m66 y me gustaría saber cómo se activa el modo CB ya que no se activa igual que la anytone at6666
HELLO IAM BILLY HOW DID YOU CLEAR THE frequencies AND ADDED THEM BACK IS THERE WAY TO DISABLE 10 METER frequencies LIKE YOUR VIDEO
good video i just bought a ss9900
Will that cable also work with the Ares 2 ?
Does anyone know difference between “band” and “workgroup” in the software?
Tienes tonos para Roger biper???
Hello, and thanks for the nice video!
May I ask you, which OS you have used in this video? I saw some reports, that it wouldn't work under windows 8 or 10?!
I'm using Windows 10
@@fintechrepairshop hey and thanks for the fast reply! thats good to know since im also using windows 10! vy 73
Hey, how you do the Setup for sharp sdr? It can not find any Device but the winUsb Driver seems to be installed? 73, 13 Division
Isnt that all stuff you can do without a pc? I know it can be converted by holding a couple buttons and turning it on
Yes, it is. By holding in the channel selector gets to 1 of the hidden menus and holding in the menu button enters the second hidden menu.
You're download link to the software is not working do you have a updated one thanks in advance....
whats that program your using at 10,34 in the video ? and what does it do ? please
I just got my anytone 6666. Can I pick someone’s brain regarding the programming. I have the software downloaded. Now I’m on the screen where the frequency channels are. Do I have to manually input all the channels?
No!
The link for the software download is not working???
So you don't have to open the case in order to fine tune the Anytone AT-6666? That's awesome if it's true.
de casualidad no tiene el pinout del cable???
they are called the alpha channels
hi, pls send the hp for programming. thx, 73 Mike
nothing wrong with the DTMF feature.
where can I found the driver for windows 7?
This Was Painful To Watch! 8-)
OK, where is your improved video?
I can run the software - links here simonthewizard.com/2014/10/13/at6666-crt9900-software/ - under WINE on Linux, but I can't seem to get the comms port to recognise the radio. Anyone solved this?
Look @ frequency list for channels 1-40. They all don’t jump 10 kHz every click. This is why you need a 10 k switch.
hi,
do you know if the cb must be power on to be connected to laptop?
I want to setup SWR protect
thanks.
You don’t use a computer to cut on SWR protection. It’s in your menu.
You can use the computer software. You can also do it when powered on by entering the one of the hidden menu modes. You can enter 1 of the hidden menus by holding in the channel selector button until the menu appears an to enter the second hidden menu you hold in the menu button to enter the 2nd hidden menu. @@vsmichael1
So by programming the radio it’s now in use for 11 meter??
Yes.
You don't need that USB cable to program the radio to the CB band.
Almost the same as the stryker software....If you took the covers off the 6666 and the 447hpc2 stryker,almost the same there to..
The Anytone AT-6666 is the same as the Stryker as it uses the same pc board used in the Stryker SR-955.

You could choose band D .
No logro encontrar el Sofware
Don't follow this. There's an easier way. Read the manual
Look for 23 channel cb band + 27MHZ RC channels ch, 3 7 11 15 19 + 10 hz. IE ch 19 27.185 RC channel 27.195
Stick with IT and phone systems dude. You look silly

that's one bad buzz you have there
