New Anytone 6666+

Nice ! Looks like it comes stock with CTCSS as well, rather than it being an add-on like the original 6666. More functions are available on the front panel too, instead of deep in the menus.
Any idea what the mic button just to the right of squelch is for ?
I wonder if they have fixed the somewhat harsh receive audio of the first version ?
 
only gripe I've had with the q6 is the encoder
The Q6 encoder needs to be upgraded. My Q5N2 encoder skips channels as well (though not as much as the Q6's). Would also be great if they could improve the receive audio on sideband. And please please please can they add a 5 KHz step like the Q5N2 has ???? Such a royal pain getting to the 'zeros' on the original 6666........
If they do all that I will buy another one in a heartbeat !

Simon has the scoop.

That's great to finally see an update on this rig. Hopeful it's moving through the final paces of development.

As to the mic, I'd noticed that in pictures and appears to be the same mic used with the newest 500M2 radio recently released. It's finally a bigger mic and hopefully that pfff is gone with this new design as well.

Come on qixiang, we need this radio!

I carefully hot glue a piece of mic foam over the mic hole to stop the pffff on my 6666 and 2+
