How to Connect the AnyTone 878 PLUS to a Bluetooth Headset
Hi everyone, this is Cody from BridgeCom Systems and in this video I'm going to be showing you how to connect a Bluetooth headset to your Bluetooth compatible Anytone 878 PLUS radio.
So here we have some Apple AirPods. Now this is probably not a prime example for the headset you'd be connecting to but it will work for the video.
So first up, what you want to do is turn on the radio. Click on Menu then go up to the Bluetooth menu, enter that. Make sure your Bluetooth is in fact turned on.
Then we're gonna go down to Bluetooth pairing and then on your headset, make sure it's turned on. And typically on a headset they'll be a button somewhere to put it into pairing mode.
So on these there is a button on the back, we're gonna go ahead and hold that down. That's gonna put that into pairing mode. Then we're gonna hit Seek Bluetooth. And we should be able to find these here.
And now we're connected, you can see the green light on the headset and now it shows up here. Going back out of the menu. You can see the Bluetooth up there turn blue. So now we're connected, ready to use them.
So now this is gonna be great, you can use these on the go, driving down the road. You can see we turned them off, it disconnected. But we turn them back on, it should automatically reconnect. So there we go, it's that simple. Really easy procedure, it works with almost
any Bluetooth headset. And that's how you do it.
We're always trying to help you guys out.

Using Sena SRL motorcycle helmet bluetooth,the send and receive audio work perfectly but the instant the PTT button wakes up the received audio breaks up continually and becomes unusable. I have tried the Sena with my Android phone, Play FM broadcast station on my Anytone 878 and it sounds good. Just does not work during qso. Using Firmware 1.18.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What Blue tooth head phones work with this radio. I see a lot of stuff that don’t work but what does work.
I’m having the same problem too! With the Plantronics PL-50 Explorer headset the send and receive audio work perfectly but the instant the PTT button wakes up the received audio breaks up continually and becomes unusable until it goes to sleep again.
Using the “last call redial feature” and “hangup” of the headset works perfectly when there’s no QSO in progress, but becomes confused and stops working as soon as the squelch starts opening and closing.
There’s not much point in bluetooth if you still have to hold the handset to control the PTT.

I am having trouble pairing a set of SkullCandy Bluetooth headphones to my AT878. These phones pair and work fine on my iPhone.
