"Excellent DMR. The AnyTone AT-D878UVll Plus is an
excellent DMR radio. I am new to DMR and the free
Bridgecom University course was a fantastic resource."
DMR is becoming more and more popular every day. DMR is currently at around 97000 users right now and counting. With this ever-increasing popularity, more radios are coming to market. Despite new entries into the market, one DMR Handheld reigns supreme.
Check out this short video by, Chuck K0XM, to find out what radio it is, and why it is the best.
This radio is great for DMR, but dont buy it for the analog FM capabilities. It is severely subject to interference and intermod. I’ve been told that the reason is possibly because it is a single conversion receiver. I tried to use it while mobile through an amp with a comet sbb5 antenna and it is just terrible. Even strong signals in the country side come in with lots of static and noise. I’ve heard that the Connect Systems CS800D is a double conversion super-het which should perform much better in the mobile environment. But if you’re just using the anytone 878 to talk to a hotspot 3 feet away, it will work great. But as I said, this will not be a good radio in your mobile if you’re trying to hit repeaters, especially FM repeaters.
The grammar in this article is embarrassing. Can I please proof read your articles for you?
Can you also use it for regular repeaters? I like the price but when I spend money, I don’t mind spending more for something that is nicer.
Any special deals I need to know about ?
Will be ordering an Anytone dual band radio for delivery to my grand-daughter in San Diego California.
Just checking if there are any special deals just now i could take advantage of?
