    Anytone 6666 HiFi mods?

    Update. I did end up replacing the one electrolytic cap with the 330uf 25v that was suggested. It had better results when I used the stock mic that came with the Anytone, and seamed to smooth out the audio when I plugged the rest of the gear in. Fortunately I have access to Chester's Electronics...

    Anytone 6666 HiFi mods?

    So I did the modifications that Goldfinger had suggested in an above link given by HomerBB. Apparently the Lincoln 2 and the 6666 have similar boards, but not quite the same as I found out but others who had done those capacitors change outs came to the same problem. Fortunately for me others...

    Anytone 6666 HiFi mods?

    Just a small update on the AT6666 for anyone who is interested. I found a mod by the audio amp to change a resistor and a capacitor for a slightly wider bandwidth. I followed the directions and it does help with the tx audio tremendously if your using external audio gear. Stock mic or a power...

    Anytone 6666 HiFi mods?

    The Anytone sounded good with the asymod and your rack that did everything. Sounds like it could have been an ultracurve by the way you were describing it. I just didn't catch the model but I know you told me. It's sounds great as it is. I use an ultracurve but only use it for EQ. Good sound...

    Anytone 6666 HiFi mods?

    Lol seriously? I was on a few hours ago. That 980 is just a temporary radio untill the 6666 comes in. People have said it is quiet but any louder it gets distortion. The screen has malfunctioned from cheap factory parts and it struggles to do legal power. Ssb at best is like 5 watts. I had it...

    Anytone 6666 HiFi mods?

    You don't have to believe me. I put in an upgraded ceramic filter that was different from the original. I just followed what I have read online to do. that ceramic filter also was used for AM transmit on that radio. The 9 khz is not from any of my test equipment. Those reports were from 2...

    Anytone 6666 on FM

    How do the Anytones sound on FM? I have heard that at least 7 khz bandwidth is needed for good FM audio. I have had other radios with FM in the past but none really were any good sounding so everyone would just stay on AM because it sounded best of the two. What if you could sound like your...

    Anytone 6666 HiFi mods?

    About my rack gear and the microphone.. I learned the hard way. For me, venturing into the hifi audio world has all been trial and error, but I think I have found a solution to midfi and hifi that works for mostly all radios. You have to know how to rewire a mic plug and be able to hear so you...

    That was the same thought that I had but just wasn't sure. Thanks.

    Anytone 6666 HiFi mods?

    I will try the capacitor swap with the noted capacitors that Goldfinger had noted. I haven't got this 6666 yet from Amazon but I'll give it a try. I have had great success with better audio friendly style capacitors in the past radios I have recapped for a better clean clear and smooth audio...

    KL 503 power supply

    I'll keep that brand in mind next time I'm looking for a compact power supply. Those look like they would be great inside a large box radio.

    KL 503 power supply

    Keep a lookout for power supplies. I recently bought a Tripp lite PR40 regulated supply from Arrow shipped to my house for $88.00 unbelievable price. I think it must have been a mistake or something because they sell for hundreds of dollars. I use that power supply for my Kl503. Before that I...

    KL-203 question

    I run a 203 and my radio in the car with the cigarette lighter and the 203 is always on. I have an ex police fleet vehicle and that may help with running everything through the cigarette plug.

    President McKinley internal problem with transmit.

    Thank you for that suggestion. Probably should have tried that too. I'll live that a try when I get back in town.

    President McKinley internal problem with transmit.

    I have a President McKinley and a new kl 503. Upon testing these units together I had been using faulty coax jumpers and didn't realize it. I had purchased the jumpers from Amazon and when I tightened the coax to the end of the radio and amp the connection electronically would open the circuit...

    Another GoodWill find

    I have only bought a radio related product from Goodwill online one time and never again. I needed a power supply for one of my amps. Bought it for around 60$ for a regulated 20 amp supply. Those people put that amp in a box 2 1/2 times it's size with only 3 flat pieces of paper. Didn't work out

    Delta M2 Mic audio

    I have heard this mic over the air on a conex 3300 if there is a radio with that model number, can't remember. The guy lived about 8 miles or so from me. It sounded decent for a plug and play set up on his radio, but he had the bass turned up too high for his voice. I'm glad though they still...

    SSTV anyone?

    I have sent a few sstv signals in response to another distant local station. The only thing about this distant station is that he sends undesirable images about another person about a mile from me. I guess they don't get along well. It's still neat to hear these signals. I just use my phone and...
