Bought the Anytone 878 and SkyBridge to dabble in DMR until I get an HF rig going. Skybridge was VERY easy to set up, especially with the codeplug for my 878. Bullet proof reliability and the support videos answered any questions. Highly recommend!!!

After several months successful experience with DMR using a different HT and hotspot (as well as local repeater), the SkyBridge+ unit and the Anytone AT-D878UVII+ were exactly as advertised. Excellent units. Glad I bought the pair. although my inclination was to buy the hotspot alone. I was happy with my HT. Didn't know what I was missing, frankly.

But equipment aside, Bridgecom customer service (CS) is everything a customer wants but never seems to get. The CS for my other HT (Chinese also) is simply abysmal. Quick to respond via email, but abysmal. The Bridgecom documentation also shines. Couldn't have done it better myself. :-)

If one is interested in DMR and doesn't want to waste hours of life putzing around (as I did) "programming" (actually setting parameters for) a hotspot/HT combination, Bridgecom is the way to go.

Would buy again in a heartbeat.

In one word, great. I had previously used a hotspot that died within a couple of months. I already had everything from that set up in my radio, so the SkyBridge set up was quick, as in from opening the box to on the air within 15 minutes. I’ve had great reports, bit error rate very low just as it was out of the box. Cost more than my previous hotspot, but you get what you pay for. Couldn’t be more pleased with this unit. Oh, took 2 days from ordering to having it in hand, I appreciated that also.

I like this Mike due to a couple of others that I have for my other H t's Reason being It is loud and I can still hear it well Compared to some other mikes It it also is very well built

I am very happy with my AnyTone HT. It was programmed for me with the international code plug. I am still learning all the features of the radio. This is my first DMR radio. Great service from everyone at BridgeCom.

I am new to Ham radio and DMR. The AT-D578UVIII Plus is a fantastic radio that is easy to use and has the power to reach the tower in my area. I have not used the roaming or APRS functions, but I am looking forward to my next roadtrip.

I like it so far.

IT’s everything I was looking for and it’s so flexible.

Did some on-air tests, distance and audio were very good, swr on each band was 1.1:1 thks VE3ZW.

This speaker mike has a very full sound to it. Reports on transmissions also good.

Just to say thanks for fast service and definitely plug in play.

My HT is a tri-band and it's the only antenna that gets me 100% into the repeaters. It works also very well on 220. A very reliable antenna.

My first HT and it works great and easy to program.

I would like to give my review regarding the Service Department which I used on 9/15/22.

I asked the representative to help me get on line so I could used my radio. He spent almost an hour with. He answered all my questions and never did he seem upset. This is one of the best Service responses that I have ever had.

I will be calling again because my original purchase included a" DMR Master Class Special; Plug and play". I came across 20 videos but I could only see 3 of them and the rest required further payment. Did I make a mistake, I though that I could watch all videos? Please help me in this
question.

This is 5 star review.

Thank you.

I am quite impressed with this plug and play kit! Works like a dream right out of the box.
