And now here in 2024 I would say 80% of all these guys who participated into this subject on the dx forum do t even talk on cb or ham anymore for various reasons and it's about a 50 to 50 chance among the 80% if they still own the same radios or got rid of them

The original AT-6666 between 2019 and now has not changed (it is now discontinued).
The new 2024 AT-6666 PRO is 100% new inside and its functionality has changed significantly.

I have an older q6 from about 2016 or so and it's still a great radio even without all the goodies of the new one. The only issue it developed is the skippy encoder and if I could find an oem replacement I'd do it. It's currently the radio in my daily driver.
Something to add, ive noticed when my og 6666 is in the house on a power supply the channel skipping with the encoder is not bad at all. Something apparently when in warmer temps makes it a skipper. 73Skippy q6 owner here too
Mine was my main base before it got dethroned and put into the mobile. It started the skippy symptoms long before it made mobile so I think mine is just worn from all that dx!
Quad 6 is still a very good radio. The Quad 6 was not the only radio that came out that had the skippy encoder...Stryker and President Lincoln versions just to name a couple. There were others too.
