    Two pill 2879C base at 14.5 volts will easily get 450 to 500 watts with a completely stock Anytone 6666. I know because I have one that I just got from a local tech. It was actually a 4 pill Toshiba 2879 that finally bit the dust, and was rebuilt to a two pill 2879C box with B bias. I was...

    Carl Built

    A local amp builder friend of mine has fixed a few of these amps that were Carlbuilt. They would work fine on a single final bipolar radio, but with a Stryker 955 high input just like you described. The amp builder said he had to use a blocking cap to fix it. He said like the way Texas Star...

    Just ordered the Sirio 2016. Good move or not?

    Good deal! Glad it's working good for you. Mine is still working good, and I can go to the lower or upper channels on 11 meter, and not worry about SWR problems.

    Just ordered the Sirio 2016. Good move or not?

    When it bottoms out, lock it down with clamp.

    Just ordered the Sirio 2016. Good move or not?

    Just use the tuning table for top part, and it should be on the money. Less than 30 minutes for assembly. Easiest antenna I have ever assembled, and I used blue Loctite for all the screws.

    Carl Built

    I heard he got sick I think over a year ago. That was second hand information. A good friend of mine wanted me to ride with him to the shop because he had an appointment to replace the driver in a 1x4. That was at least two or more years ago. About one hour drive from me in the town of...

    In the past maybe...not sure. There are two Dave Made makers. Joe in NC and the other guy, Mark I think, in Alabama. One linked below is Alabama, or it use to be couple years back. https://www.davemadeamps.com/

    Yes Dave Made from Alabama that's where mine came from a couple years back. I believe the mans name is Mark I think. From what I was told, Dave does not build, but Mark is authorized to build his designs. Joe (Dave Made Mobi) was in a small town south of High Point, NC. I do know some of the...

    JT-400 Coax

    I am using JEFA Tech low loss 400 coax. I don't know compared to Times LMR400 because I have never used 400 type coax ever. I used the JEFA Tech to replace an old run of RG213. Mine came with nickel/silver PL-259 that had been crimped on the coax side, and soldered on the contact side...

    PowerMax 100amp Adjustable Powers Supplies on Sale

    Down below is your warranty if you use it for amps or radios. This is directly from Powermax VP Sales, Errin Tribble. Eventually, I was issued an RMA plus I would have had to pay a restocking fee of 20% and shipping for a defective unit. Luckily, I sold it to a friend that needed it to charge...

    Anytone 6666 Question

    Yes SSB is easy to turn down on the quad 6. I can run at 12 watts true peak very easily by adjusting the variable power.

    PowerMax 100amp Adjustable Powers Supplies on Sale

    I bought the 60 amp model round about two years ago from the same Don Rowe website. Great price too. Don Rowe is a drop shipper. Mine came from Powermax in Florida. Beware though if you have a problem with it. Mine was making a big hum on my radio. Don Rowe would not take it back, and...

    Anytone quad 6

    Got a picture of your fan setup? Would like to put a fan on my Quad 6. Once my amp gets rebuilt, about 35 to 40 watts pep with a 4 to 5 watt carrier is all that I will be running my radio at. I do get long winded, so a fan mounted to the heatsink would help with cooling. Best radio I have...

    Anytone quad 6

    Is this a recently purchased radio? How do you know it has 13n10's? I just bought one about a month ago, and mine runs hot too especially if it is run wide open. It's doing 78 watts true peak tuned from the factory on AM. Does 62 watts on sideband. Been running mine about 40 to 45 watts, and...

    Anytone at-5555n II (version 2)

    I agree with that because I went down that rabbit hole chasing a better mic for the latest Lincoln 2 V3. Have tried various mics on a recently purchased Anytone 6666, and the stock mic sounds better than any of them.

    New Sirio 1/2 wave Gain Master

    I watched the Gainmaster 1/2 wave build video. It's not that much different than a T2LT vertical dipole antenna. The top half of the Gainmaster build is using 16 awg(1.5mm) stranded copper wire while a T2LT is using RG58 coax with the outer covering, and ground wires removed. I have been...

    11111111111 on 38 lsb. WTH???

    Arizona has been dominating my radio. And yes Sky Banger has it mostly locked down on 38 spewing nonsense. I think the 1111... guy/gal starts going at it when Sky Banger is flapping his lips. Anyway, I have been on the other sideband channels including 41 and up. Have not heard anybody on...

    Anytone at-6666 v3

    I got an Anytone 6666 for Christmas! It was bought from Amazon. Seller was Lucky Product. The one I got has hot AM. True peak at 72 watts out of the box. Side band was 60 watts. FM was dead on 35 watts. Manual says 45 watts for FM, but I think they lowered that because that could be a bit...
