    My 6600M is over 2 years old and it is the best radio I have ever owned. I would not trade it for any other on the market at any price if I had to operate it.

    Don, I also am a happy owner of a 6600M. One of the first batch sent out. It developed a PA problem ( no output) recently and is waiting in line to be sent in for repair. I don't fault the radio as I am a long haul truck driver and may have left it connected while I was out on the road.( I normally disconnect all my radios from antennas and power source when away from home) The only real complaint I have with my radio, is not the radio itself, but with the firmware and software (SSDR) And that is the Automatic Notch Filter, which is ineffective with carriers on top of a QSO. Other than that, ( which can be fixed) I love this radio. The spectrum display is second to none. I have other radios to use till my 6600M gets repaired. And I enjoy them all. But, the closest on to the 6600M, in visual performance is a Xeigu G90 I recently acquired. Fun little radio. But not a 6600M. James WD5GWY

    Hi Don

    It is human nature to report problems than praise, so that is what you see.    Also, we have such a large install base that you will also hear more dialogue as that install base grows.   As I know the install base (and, no, I can't sare) I can honestly say that the problems you hear are a small percentage of the entire install base.  

    I hope that helps a bit even though I had to keep it a bit vague,

    73, Mike

    James - I am also a fairly new 6600M owner and pleased with it so far. I agree that the ANF filter is not very effective on eliminating interfering carriers. Hopefully, they'll work on that feature in future SSDR updates. Like you, I always disconnect my ant. and power down completely after I'm done - and learned that I must wait at least 45 secs. before disconnecting the pwr. supply, which is a bit strange as I've never had to do that with any other SDR rigs, but guess it takes more time to fully power down the CPU of the 6400M/6600M.
