AT6666 channels stuck

Post by Mtn Lynx »

I have a Anytone AT6666. I have radio scanning a few active channels to monitor if skip is rolling. Usually channels 6, 11, 17, 19, 35, 36, 37 38 39 40. went home for lunch and radio was stuck on channel 1 and 40. I reset the radio, put it in CB mode but it is still stuck on 1 and 40. It only works in frequency mode to switch channels now. all the other modes (A B C E F G H I J) work fine. Tried different routes through the setting but have to wait until after work to browse more settings options.

Curious, works on all the other bands but not on "D", might be dirty if it's been in that band or possibly a menu item needs to be checked. I've had mine in the pickup since I got it and haven't had any problems.

Tried all possible menu options. I might set "c" or "e" to be the cb band. I don't use 10 meter anyway

When you have it set to band "D", does it read frequency or just the channel numbers?

I run mine to read frequency only, I like the knob to act like a VFO, and set a 10kc switching. I'll have to check mine to see if it does the same thing.
