An important new feature I forgot to mention in the video.
When the radio is in memory mode.
You can directly input the frequency you have in memory to the VFO immediately by pressing the band button once.
It will copy all of the offsets or functions you have enabled and saved to your memory channel to the VFO.
Let's say that you have one UK FM Muppet frequency programmed into a memory slot.
You can press the band button and immediately you will be in VFO mode and have that UK FM channel in VFO mode and then you can switch to 10 kilohertz and go through the whole UK40 band without having to program it into memory channels.

Great updates! I like the TX display color change. This radio came out at a good time of solar cycle. 10/11/12/15 meters has been great ! I am getting out great with a 5/8 wave ground mount vertical cut for 10/11/12 meters and 4:1 UNUN .I just fold back and twist a little. Using a Nano VNA H4 to do SWR sweep. wire started out 25 FT . appx 5/8 wave at 12 meters . I got a tune at 1.1:1 at 28.074 MHZ. after the fold back. took a few tries. What i made is like the Coffee And Ham radio Poseidon antenna . I just made my own 4:1 UNUN. I get RX gain over the 1/2 wave 10 meter with 49:1 . Antenna modeling shows only a 1.6 DB gain over 1/2 wave . But I get more RX than that. Turns out 4:1 UNUN more efficient. less heating under QRO with Thermal camera. Still doing testing. Normally the 25FT 4:1 is multi band with ATU . but you can fine tune 1 band. I did 43 Ft Vertical for 20 meter and worked out great . 73

Sweet! Glad to see they are posting downloadable updates. I hope people don't get in the service data and brick their radios though.

there is a CPS205 issue affecting dual watch with the 6666pro. band K is missing in the dual watch band list. Additionally the bands above L (M, N, O and MEM) cannot be used for dual watch. if you try to dual watch a channel in bank L, it will scan the right channel but in block K. raised with Anytone - no response yet

What's your best budget swr/power meter?

[zellhell]

I wish they made software for Mac users. Windows sucks!

it's ok when the signals are stronger, but weak signals become hardly intelligible. better use another radio, Icom IC-7300 is very good.
