That AT 6666 II? EXACTLY what my aging eyes need. AM/FM/SSB???
PERFECT. There's no question. Only question is how much...

I have a serious problem. I like this radio too. Now I can't make up my mind what I want.
Well it was mentioned that we may have the 6666 Pro this fall and it didn't or hasn't happened. Just maybe after the first of the year? I hope!
Any Intel on this radio?

thanks
is there a thread about the AT-6666 II yet?

looks like it would be perfect for coms in my bother's Jeeps.
This reminds me of yet another line from another movie... I feel kinda like Martin Tupper (if you know, you know) as most of life I relate to a movie and/or quote.
Pulp Fiction, where Jimmy talks about the sign on his lawn... Jules saying that it's not there. Or another, Mean Girls where Cady realizes the limit does not exist in the math problem. The reason you've not seen this radio for sale, the reason nobody has one - it doesn't exist. Not today, not tomorrow and likely not ever. But don't go getting all sad, you might see one similar one day but it won't say Anytone on the box.
It only exists on the Anytone work bench. They sent me a video of it and I posted it here, but then they asked me to take it down. So it is in the works, I will ask them for an update.
I absolutely LOVE the ignore option on this forum!! It increases the quality of this site and my viewing experience SO much more.

haha.
But actually, here are the facts:
- The AT-6666PRO will be released next year. It is not finished but it is well underway. It was originally planned for release this year but there were delays.
- The AT-6666 II is only in concept stage. There is no planned release date, or any more updates on this radio yet.

I think they are more aggressive than RCI or anyone else building these radios, I don't doubt they are progressing with the Pro model.
It is still the same case and faceplate and they already have a board with the new features like noise reduction and they just give it all the latest software.
There is money to be made, we all know they are building most of the boards for Anytone- CRT- and others so I don't see what would stop them.
As for the AT 6666 II with the redesigned case and remote mount face, they either have to source the case faceplate or make it.
It there is someone building a case with a head like that for any other radio that would be a plus, buy then in bulk, stuff them with your board, boom new radio.
Years ago the front of the radio was actually a expensive part of a new radio, that's why early on a majority of export and cb radios looked cookie cutter, same bezel same faceplate different sticker name on the front.
Anyway I sent a e mail out as well, let's see if any progress has been made.

many thanks.
the newer 'style' board, is what i want. i know owners of the original AT-6666 say they don't drift, but almost every AT-6666 i've heard on air is off frequency. (on SSB)
NOT saying the original is a bad radio. if you love yours, great!
enjoy your radios everyone

Mine is bang on in USB and just a hair off (about 20Hz) in LSB. Not enough to worry about it. And absolutely no drifting whatsoever......
And everybody I hear using them on air is bang on frequency too.
Perhaps the radio you are using to listen to them is in need of alignment if every 6666 you're hearing is off frequency ? As that is the exact opposite of my experience !
Yes, I created that photo
.I am very much across this topic. And I am sharing the facts, that I can. You can take them or leave them.
The "large display" radio is the "AT-6666 II" that I mentioned, in case you were confused about that.
