Has anyone got a LINTON LT-6600

Post by wirelessham »

Hi,

I am looking for some help on the in's/out's of a LINTON LT-6600. It has a Yaesu look to it. I have some other radios from 409shop and saw this for sale. I have bit of a collection on X-Brand radios from China and was thinking of adding it to the collections. But as with all radios I look up a bit info first.

Thanks

Yeah, I see what you mean. That really does have that 'Yaesu' look to it.

The Linton LT-6100 Plus has a similar 'Yaesu' look.

Upon closer examination I believe the LT-6600 is the PX-333 in another body. As far as I can tell, Puxing make Linton's radios. Or at least the internals. Every Linton radio has a corresponding Puxing model. Linton have also released the LT7700. So I believe the Linton 6100, 6600 and 7700 are all just incarnations of the PX-333. Who knows, maybe the build quality is better? The ONE feature I wish Puxing would roll out to all there radios is the channel lock out. If you look at the keypad of the PX-333 and all the Linton models mentioned above the 0 key has the word 'lock' written on it. According to the manual this allows the user to add/remove channels from the scan list. This is a feature Wouxun have denied us for too long!

Usually, the 'Lock' button just locks the keypad/dial from accidental use. Although, I have no idea what it actually does on these radios.

Generally on the puxings the button with the 'key' on it is the key pad lock. According to the px-333 manual the 'lock' on key 0 allows you to add/remove channels from the scan.

Better still i have uploaded all the linton files to here your radio is not listed so the files may not be of use although maybe the program for the 6288 may work
good luck
