    The Rare "I Get A New Radio" eternal question thread

    Do you have multiple antennas strung up at all? This interests me. Of course, it probably is the chase of all HF amateur hounds... hahahah

    The Rare "I Get A New Radio" eternal question thread

    Yes, I have it! A D104M wired up and all cleaned up. Got a new face for it and had our local ex-Navy guy go through it. Classic big audio!

    Anyone 6666 Intermittent keyup

    Indeed, I got my bang for the buck with it. Bone stock took it out of the box and its been all up and down the west coast, back roads, hills. I was so spoiled I was surprised when it didn't key up!

    Anyone 6666 Intermittent keyup

    Well, the original mic has never been taken off in 5 years until this happened. That's what made me try the new mic. Are you talking about the pins where the mic attaches or on the inside of the radio? I'll give the pins a once over and take a look.

    The Rare "I Get A New Radio" eternal question thread

    OK, my trusted friend and radio nuts! I get to splurge. My AT 6666 is down and pending its repair (if it can be repaired) and relegation to backup, I have the opportunity to splurge on a new radio. My car is SMALL so I usually run it on the seat and stow it when not in use. I love the 6666 and...

    Anyone 6666 Intermittent keyup

    Hello! My beloved Quad 6 finally has its first problem. After neigh on 5 years of mobile abuse, dropped, stored, sloshed around... it will not fully key up. Receive and everything else seems fine. At first I thought it may be the mic itself so I put my spare on there but did not change the...

    11 Meter Radios AM/SSB/FM

    I'd go Anytone 6666. Mine has worked most states from Seattle, with a 5/8 mag mount Sirio. It has also been far more rugged than most Chinese stuff I've made the mistake of buying.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    A dear uncle of mine used to say, "there is a time and place for everything and this calls for brute force." I'm not a fan of vigilante justice but in the radio world we really only have each other.

    Antennas

    I live in Washington State, you may have heard a bit about our rain, so my Sirio Tornado has 3m tape (sticky waterproof and then wrapped with electrical) at each joint and was put up as winter was starting. The instructions do not say to do this but I saw a few posts on YouTube and around the...
