Thanks for confirming, Don't think a firmware update can add all those new features. Seems to be an ever evolving radio model. Not a bad thing, just will encourage more sales for those wanting the newer features.

Is there a Pro 2 version going to come out already? https://simonthewizard.com/2024/07/01/anytone-at-6666-pro-iihmm-thoughts/

I agree with the post above. With a tower at 36 ft, your 1 full wavelength above the ground at 11 meters which is a good optimum height at that frequency. A 3 element horizontal Beam (a 4 element would be better if you prefer to mount it vertically for better local use due to the even distance...

OK, I fixed my problem. Turned out the RAR file extractor software I used didn't work with the DSP update for some reason. I took a chance and used a free APP from the Micro-shaft store called Unarchiver One from Trend Micro and it worked perfectly! One thing Pez didn't mention is the latest...

Anyone download the firmware's yet? I got the Main firmware installed and it took but the DSP firmware won't open up in the downloaded software. This is what I get in the pics below trying to install the DSP firmware, the error box says "?? .spi ????" Anyone else get the same?

Since professional sports teams went political I don't question why I DON'T watch them anymore. They, like hollywood actors, Are there for are entertainment and escape from the daily grind and now that has been soured. Without all of us they are nothing! For those who still enjoy the games...

An easy way is use a Signalink interface box which gives you a simple connection to your radio and computer via a couple of cables. The Signalink box also acts as the sound card for your radio to computer. You'"ll need a couple interface cables that Signalink sells and I believe your radio will...

Best way to do pl259's yet! Providing you use proper crimp tool and die, No guessing if you made a good braid/ground connection. However, it works best with RG8 size cable because RGX size being small doesn't have the same bite and can work loose. I now use silver teflon crimp/solder N...

Buy a 7k Icom 7851, a 10k Alpha amplifier, $1,500 Palstar roller auto-tune...etc, Now use a $50 hombrew G5RV wire antenna with 50ft of RG8X because that's all you need to TX a signal. You want the best get the best and don't skimp

True, but it is the best so why not run the best. It wasn't all that expensive either for 75 ft of it.

I looked at it this way, I spent good money on a HF rig, HF amp, and a multiband beam antenna, why go cheap with coax? I use 1/2 inch hard line with N connectors. Maybe many of you should consider the same with your base antenna?

Die Hard with a Vengeance John McClane needs an ambulance escort so he switches CB over to channel 9 and with out keying the radio, immediately a 911 dispatcher answers… Right! Never happened even back in the day!

Been using the desk mic I wired up for the Quad6 Pro and the on air audio reports have been very positive. I also like the audio using both the radio's talkback and monitoring on my Kenwood 890. Very similar in clean SSB audio to the stock hand mic but a bit more body to it without the...

I know the north Panhandle area very well as I have driven big rigs thru there hundreds of times for over 35 years. Most commonly during the spring windy season the winds gust up to 50-55 mph but yes there are times when they exceed that but it's not a regular occurrence like in the Guadalupe...

Very extreme! Where in Texas are you? The only area I know with extreme winds like that is in the Guadalupe mountains along the NM border between El Paso and Carlsbad NM.

Yeah, I noticed that too. A cheap fix that worked for my Icom hand mic that was like that is I added some thick foam padding cut to fit with a couple large metal washers tucked inside to add some weight. You may consider the cheap desk mic with electric element I'm using. Just on the radio...

Good point, I tried a much lower value cap and noticed an increase in highs. With the mic I'm using, it sounds better with no cap so I'm going to run it this way for a while.

Yes, all the buttons are wired as per DR DX post back on page 14, #208 All functions work
