Just did another one for my 6666 Pro. Thread 'Anytone 6666 Pro Microphone Fix' https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/anytone-6666-pro-microphone-fix.268905/

I bought one a while ago and have been testing it out in the shack. The stock mic has a big hollow sound so it's time to do something about it. Thread 'Anytone 6666 Pro Microphone Fix' https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/anytone-6666-pro-microphone-fix.268905/

With the mich improved audio, I feel it's time to dethrone the 86v in my truck. And that is the plan for this afternoon.

The spring on the PTT is a PITA and I almost lost it a few times. The solution is to heat it up and stick it to the PTT button.

After a little testing, the sound is much improved, but the hollow sound is still there. So I grabbed a hand full of poly fill from my daughter's sewing table. I pulled off a piece and twisted it up. Secured the elements with double sided tape and wrapped the twisted poly fill around it. I used...

Three additional elements secured together with a wire tie, and they fit perfectly under the board. Soldered directly to the pins of the stock element for a total of 4.

I got one of the new 6666 Pro radios a while back and have been checking it out. One of the things I have noticed, is that the microphone has a big hollow sound. The big front grille on the mic looks great, but it is not functional. The stock electret element is in a tiny hole right below the...

Very interesting on 11m, when and where do you pick up the signals? Is that the fax machine sounds that I sometimes hear?

Just solder a piece of wire to connect the audio pins on the switch. Or maybe a solder blob would do it. I will crack one of mine open and take a look. The power to the mic amp has separate pins so it should be unaffected. Maybe I was thinking of moving the wire on a 636. I have done it to both...

The switch that they put in these things has been low quality since Barjan acquired them. But that's ok because there is a quick fix. The solution is to remove the audio wire from one side of the switch and solder it directly to the other audio wire. The audio doesn't need to be switched, the...

I think the biggest difference besides build quality is boom length. The Maco has a longer boom and the element spacing is different than the Sirio. The longer boom will give the Maco a higher gain, but the Sirio can be lengthened to achieve a similar result.

Hey 828, it was getting late in the evening for me and I was getting ready to put my President George ammo can on charge and then put it away for the night. I heard you call CQ a few times but could not get back to you. Between the big stations and conditions fading in and out, it sure was a...

The Cobra 29s days are numbered. It is sorely lacking many features that now come standard in other radios that are at its price point. The biggest feature is the noise reduction feature which is a digital DSP processor that cuts the static out. Talk back, echo, roger beep and the ability to get...

I heard @unit_399 calling a few times, but he could not hear me. Glad you are back on the air, conditions were strange today. We will try again tomorrow.

Standing by on 37 out in the garage. I finally get to work on my own junk for once. I found something from when the kids were small. A game that I called "nuts and bolts". The kids being curious would always want to know what I was working on, and I came up with things to keep them occupied. So...

Just made contact with @codeman 553 Texas a few minutes ago. Conditions are there, but it's tough going with all the operators that are trying. I also heard @Brother DXer 226 West Texas, but he couldn't hear me. I was operating portable from my mother-in-laws kitchen table. We were eating lunch...
