VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:
Folks this is Chuck K0XM. Thought
I'd give you guys a little spiel about
probably one of the hottest radios in
the market today.
The Anytone AT-D868 UV it's analog DMR
and everybody's going what's DMR, well a
lot of people know about DMR because in
the four years I've been involved with
it it's grown from over 18,000 members
worldwide to over 97,000. Its the
fastest-growing thing in amateur radio
at this point right now this radio is
probably the closest thing we've got to
a real amateur radio coming from the
commercial world in that it will do
analog in DMR, it has 4,000 channel
capability, thousand talk groups, handles
the entire DMR database, which is at 97
thousand right now you've got a thousand
zones, you can put 250 channels per zone
in it, and it's all front panel
programmable also including DMR activity
so it will do analog and DMR you can
program it on the fly. It is my
daily carry. I've had Motorola XPR-50 750s,
57 80s, 6500s, Terra 7400 is my
backup radio now due to this. I've had
MD380s, 2017, this thing walks water on
2017 it's ten times it's got ten times
the features of 2017 does it's got dual
timeslot monitoring six watts on UHF on
turbo 7 watts on VHF start at displays
right bright brilliant crisp on display
that you can see what's going on and
it's just a phenomenal little radio, and
it just keeps getting better. They keep
adding more features on every firmware
update
Yeah there's been a couple of fixes in
the last five or six for more updates
but the majority of it's been for Perks. Once
again it's a good radio it's a great
radio and for $168.99 you can't go wrong

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?
