Wow! I wouldn't even consider a 203 behind a 6666! Too much swing even with the power turned down. FM is hard on finals if you're not set up right. I just made my first FM contact from Ohio to Arizona mobile with just 50 watts. A 6666 will do that without any help. It’s you're stuff, do as you...
When I setup a new antenna on the truck I try to check at the antenna first. If I can hook the analyzer directly with a barrel(?) connector, good. If not I use a 3 foot jumper.When it's the best I can get it, I then check it at the radio. Has worked fairly well for me.
BTW the 55, besides...
I must say, after running a 5555NII since July, it is one of the nicest radios I have ever run in the truck! The controls that you normally use are well laid out, the display is excellent day or night. The RX with DSP is great. I get many unsolicited kudos on the AM audio (Astatic 636 with a...

You should see what ice on a 6 foot Skipshooter tilted 45 degrees does to it! At 67mph, I never saw an antenna move side to side like that! If nothing else these antennas are strong!

These radios will swing to damn near full power from a low DK! Some folks just can't resist wrecking a perfectly good radio with golden screwdriver ideas!

Scott seems like a stand up guy. I just had an email conversation with him and he didn't try to sell me something I didn't need. I would definitely do business with him when the need arises.
I've considered trying out the KPO mic but I've gotten nothing but flowers using a 636 with a little bit...
I have a Top Gun Quad 5, a 5555 clone, and I like it a lot! One of my favorite features is the ability to program 60 channels per band with the software. Unfortunately it doesn't have the DSP feature of the newer versions, but I have a speaker for that! West Mountain CLRSPKR.
