I watched the whole video. This is great. I'd like to have one of these radios some day, and I know it will be sent to you, Ground Control. Thank you for this. You are the man.
Lots of meter baiter shops out there. Clean and mean is the only way to go. Modulation pattern stability matters. Seen this happen in the mid 1990s especially with the Galaxy Saturn Turbos and the RCi 2290s base radios. All the radios were setup for AM use only. Limiter was clipped and power was turned up to 200 watts. Power supplies were maxed out and radios were just screaming scatter splatter boxes. Thanks to guys like you I never went down that road with any of my radios. Thanks. High five ✋️
That was a awesome vid. I have a AT 6666 in transit, looking forward to it. Brand new, factory not touched. Gonna stay that way. Any changes via the menu. No clipping allowed lol. Enjoy listening to you talk at your desk, solid. The At 6666 is a good radio as long as nobody screws with it. Have a great day Brother
@@LIVINGRETIRED310 No not from factory, go to the description section and click the link that says “previous work.” That’s the shop who did this radio a poor number.
I appreciate that I’m just a crazy hobbyist at radio for like 35 yrs or so. I used to think open it up but now i find myself putting chokes back in man what putz i was back when but I totally agree fer sure keep it up awesome job
Beautiful clean signal,& thats the problem with these HI-PWR merchants they are just speed freaks for sure.Keep it clean keep it green and sound like a pro,Add a cheap amp to these botched radio"s & see all hell let loose on the air waves.
Thats the super trucker special tho, that way you can be leaned back and have your feet up and mic can still pick you up and you dont have to lean forward or pull mic towards you lol
My quad six came under modulated. But it also only had a 15 watt carrier. So I bumped up the modulation and laft it alone. The ssb needed a little cleaning up but still hits almost 70 watts clean. On sideband, its not the ssb ph to clean it up, its the anl. ammod is microphone sensitivity. Am anl is modulation.
When they are peaked and tweaked to the max is when these rigs tend to heat up too much, don’t use any technician that does not use an oscilloscope to tune radios. 73
Amen brother! Why do people make strange obnoxious noises into a spit filled mic.lol.makes no stinking sense.why do they stare into the upper end of the wattmeter and peer for the needle at the top of the haystack.country slang.lol.makes no fricken sense.its like there using the wattmeter like a spl meter.lol .that bird is good and has a place, but a scope is far better.its like people have over looked the obvious to take the "window dresser" way out...
That’s my radio in this video and I also have a Lincoln 2+. I also prefer the Lincoln over the anytone. The anytone is easier to use, and for that reason I put it in a buddy’s shack. He’s new to it all and wanted him to not get frustrated the first time he gave the VFO a spin and got him sorts of caddywhompus on his freq. That’s the only thing I don’t like about the Lincoln, although I’m used to it now, just about ever other CB on the planet changes channels by turning the knob.

Thank you for tuning in sir, Keep CB alive! 73👋🏻
@@GroundControl204 This radio wasnt straight from factory correct? Someone with a golden screw driver got into it right??

Shit, I’m glad you said why you said dude, I was going to buy a radio from him, you saved me a huge headache, thanks for what you do.
Finally someone called it right i liked and saw everything you said and did because I’m about to purchase one of these radios
Thanks for tuning in sir. Transparency is always key on my channel. 73👋🏻

Again keep up the work and like allways you covered your angles !
Awsome Good Work Bro!!!
Thanks for tuning in and dropping a comment. 73👋🏻
Turning things on in your workspace like a just walking in the command centre for drone attacks, great explanation and very well knowledge.

Thanks sir, new addition coming soon

Yeah, this radio was peaked and tweaked to the max with no regards to power loss and splatter.
Awesome video man I'm thinking about this radio.
I recommend a Stryker model over this, I am not a fan of anytone’s my friend. Anyhow, thanks for stopping by and chiming in sir. 73
Ok thanks for the info 73s back at you , standing by here in the Ozarks.
stryker 955 or lincoln 2+ @@GroundControl204
That heat sink being so close pisses me off too.

Please explain how you 'bumped up' the modulation. Did you make adjustments in the Secret Menu or adjust something on the board?
Great radios. If tuned correctly
with crap cooling ribs I made short work of Dremel and cut out a rib finished, it's annoying when you have to change the cable often!
Pretty cool idea Zorn, that would actually be a great mod video. 73
@@GroundControl204 Thanks, sand it smooth a little afterwards and it even looks good 😉
😂🤣😂Crystal clean modulation... Good job! Boricua!
Yeah once it left my shop it was clean and mean. 73
Thinking about getting one of these or the at 5555n. And how are these from the factory, untouched. Just stock, are they worth it?
Not a big fan of Anytone myself, but they get the job done. I still prefer Stryker 955
gOOD radio gets too hot!! you could fry bacon ontop of the anytone quad 6
Thanks for tuning in. 73👋🏻
The AT 6666 BOARD IS PRETTY SIMILAR TO THE STRYKER 955..AM I RIGHT??
Kinda similar, yes. But Anytones get the cheaper components hints why they are more affordable for the common man.☑️ 73
How do you keep these radios from getting hot
When they are peaked and tweaked to the max is when these rigs tend to heat up too much, don’t use any technician that does not use an oscilloscope to tune radios. 73
What’s the best sounding radio you have ever heard without hi fi gear?
Stryker 955
Nice job cleaning it up it's still doing good numbers but now it's clean modulation not ghost Watt clean is mean.
Thanks for tuning in sir. 73🇺🇸
@@GroundControl204 73s to you too my friend and God bless from 112 Southern Illinois with my little bitty Stryker 447 hpc2 and my 2 pill waiving
Is it normal for these to get Hot? especially after long am transmission? Thanks
The heat sink should be warm to the touch only.
Hello Mr ground control do you work on cobra 142 gtl???
I surely do sir.
I am the second owner of this radio I've had it for 30 plus years probably needs to be recapped recapped and retuned let me know what you think?

Many own an Oscope, but very few actually know how to use it properly let alone read the data. 73
It pisses me off every time I hook up my coax. Ps, stay far away from truck cb sales
We live and we learn, right brother!?
@@GroundControl204 yes we do
I have a Lincoln II can't decide between this and the two plus
2+ over the 6666, that’s what I favor. 73
@@GroundControl204 that's definitely what I'm leaning towards. Especially after seeing the power cord and SO-239 ridiculousness lol
