Another TEF6686 has arrived. Not a Deepelec DP-666 this time but a metal cased one.
The Deepelec allows the user to tap in the frequency, but this one doesn’t.
No small memory buttons either.
The Deepelec has a plastic casing.
The new TEF6686 came with an RDS sticker, a data cable and an antenna. No pouch.
Having a metal casing makes this devices look sturdier and of course it could allow for better shielding.
However performances between both devices seem equal.
Unfortunately this TEF came with very old firmware (v1.18) making it impossible to hook up the device to a webserver.
Flashing the firmware is not too difficult. Do have a look a these instruction videos on Youtube (video 1 – video 2).
Where to find the new firmware? Have a look at this Github page or check out the Discord page with latest (Beta) updates.
