Anytone AT6666 Pro 15m Band Modification

How to add the 15m band to your Anytone AT6666 Pro! 

DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Note the radio comes out of the box locked to the 10m Ham Band, you will need to hold the MEM + BAND buttons when turning on the radio, select HFBAND, then press and hold FUNC until the radio resets. This puts the radio into export mode and it will cover 10/11/12m. Follow this video to further add 15m to the radio. 

You will find that the output power is lower on the 15m band, probably around 30-40w PEP.

CB Radio is Alive in 2025!

Anytone AT6666 Pro - New Firmware Ver102 (Beta)

 

Spotted on the Anytone AT6666 Pro Facebook Page is a new firmware for the radio. This firmware aims to fix an issue where some users found the Hi-SWR warning prevented transmissions even when the SWR was fine. This appears to happen when the radio is used mobile, and is not present when the radio is used from a home base. 

Please be aware that the firmware is currently in BETA TESTING so you might wish to wait for the proper final release on the Anytone website.

Also this firmware adds NO NEW FEATURES so I'd suggest that you only update your radio if you have the Hi-SWR issue.
