Anytone at-6666 v3

Yup. I slide into his drivers seat and this thing is over before it starts.
Just a little old radio.
It is, if you are willing to reprogram one of the existing bands A~J
The CRT 9900 has A~L bands which the 2 extra bands allows 12 meters to be programmed in.
What are the chances the latest CRT9900 firmware could be flashed into the 6666 without bricking it? If you have saved a copy of your original firmware (which you should always do), what are the chances it could be flashed back if the 9900 firmware didn't work? You showed the main PCB is the same.

This is what I was thinking as well.
The above is what worrys me so I e mailed the manfacture.
I figure if I ask CRT or Anytone I am going to hit a wall.
I may hit a wall anyway but figure it was worth a try.

In this case it was not a hard install.
This radio is small and light, so light that I stuck it on a flex mount. 1 seat bolt and a few screws for the mounting bracket to the plate and ran the b+ up to battery.
Hooked up the coax, antenna was already there.
Got on the air, asked my brother( 60 miles away ) for a radio check.
Done deal.
And the more I use this radio the more I like it.

Looks really good that way! Can you post a source for that flex mount?
That vehicle now ready to Run the Big Road!
Talk things up you want to step wave-top to wave-top to get thru those operating at too-low a vibrational frequency.
(Note in my above posts it’s not speed, but in being ready, willing & able; the waves part or the alternate route glows.)
As a phenomenon, it’s uncanny.
.
I got it on Amazon designed to hold a tablet.
I will post up when I get home.

Audioshockwave, you got my attention with that mount too. That's a nice set up and flexible as well.
It is ok for a light radio like this, It is a soft steel (?) rod inside a wire loom material.
The top plate on this one is plastic with the tension nut plastic as well.
So far this is not a problem.
You have to put a little effort into bending the gooseneck around.
I like it so far, I will let you know how it holds up.
It don't know if I would put a big radio on it but for this little radio it's doing fine.

Never seen that one Homer.
With RCI and Q building most of the radios we see now, there are many clones.
My brother and I were talking about this the other day.
Look at the Quad 5
There are half a dozen radios built on the same chassis.
Top Gunn quad 5, CRT 6900n , AlincoDX10, Alinco DR 135dx, MassDX 5000, Anytone AT 5555, and if you dig you will find more.
Same board, same chassis, different name on the faceplate.
