Anytone AT6666

The President Lincoln 2+ is kinda useless for SSB with the incremental clarifier.

It has vfo so it might be ok?

Are you sure about that? I seem to recall it having a center detent but freely variable either direction from there.

The Lincoln does have a VFO..

I had an Anytone 5555n. Worked wonderfully for ~6 months. Then it just quit. Sounded wonderful on the air, and SSB was very nice and stable. I particularly like the "VFO mode", in which it could pretty much be tuned without all the channel indicators, bands and stuff. Fine for 10 and 11 meters.

Again, then it just died... (likely the audio amp, but no warranty)

Booooooooooo.

It does work on SSB with 50 herts

I don't remember the size of the increments but I think it may have been 50hz increments. If you get one of those radios on both sides of the conversation you could be a hundred hertz off from each other.
The AT6666 doesn't work incrementally like the Lincoln 2

The vfo will tune to 00.0001 mhz steps. This is in vfo mode.

The VFO works great. If you want you can switch to VFO/Frequency mode leave the clarifier centered and tune SSB with the VFO. It is a nice radio.

Well, compared to the AnyTone AT-6666, the President Lincoln II+ is the much better choice. Especially because of the better ergonomics of the controls. Those of the AnyTone are so tiny that they can only be reasonably operated by a four-year-old child.

Apart from that, the President is much easier to match than the AnyTone and the build quality is a lot better. On closer inspection, the AnyTone is a can full of worms!

The president has a 2 year warranty. If you buy their antenna at the same time then the warranty is 5 years. Yes five years.
