Welp, I have one of these coming. We'll see how it compares to my 350 built 6666 with a clear speech speaker.
Is it as awesome as we expected?Got mine today, talked to Puerto Rico and San Fransisco with the radio hitting 100w on peaks. I am still checking out the menu features, lots of neat stuff.
I was only able to spend about 10 minutes with it, but I have a feeling that it's going to dethrone the 86v / RFX95 in my truck.... It's definitely a winner!Is it as awesome as we expected?
Mine delivers Saturday according to tracking.
It drops considerably, but still enough to be useful. I don't want to say I am sure of what the power out was. I believe it was 49W PEP on 15m.I figured it needs a mod for 15m because I didn't see it in any of our radio YouTube videos, Easy mod though.
Thanks AudioShockwave for posting that.
A bit of a jump around between band letters for the different bands but I would assume moving the cursor with VFO tuning would be sequential. Not a deal breaker if it isn't.
Curious to see if RF power drops on 15m and how much. I expect it will some.
FYI - If you set the microphone "PF" key to the "CH.PUSH" option, then full control of the VFO is able to be done with the microphone keys, and it's is an awesome user experience, IMO.
Thanks for the info. I have a message to the seller about a bigger supply because that was the concern. Not sure if there's a bigger supply in the same footprint. He also makes one for the 955, it a clean little stand.That's a pretty cool radio stand, but the included PSU is only rated to 12.5A. The AT-6666PRO is fused at 15A, and will draw at least 10A on SSB peaks. For the PRO, I would want a supply with more headroom personally.
FYI and caution - the information and some of the parameters that were posted above for "service mode" is incorrect for the PRO.

You could possibly fit a HP server supply in there and have 60+ amps for cheap! Just an idea.Thanks for the info. I have a message to the seller about a bigger supply because that was the concern.

Not sure if a server supply would fit in that little spot, the server supply I have is at least as long as that whole stand. Maybe he has another small footprint option.You could possibly fit a HP server supply in there and have 60+ amps for cheap! Just an idea.
