AnyTone AT-D578UVIII PLUS Tri-Band Amateur DMR Mobile Radio

Hoping this would be the ultimate DMR radio, I found that some features didn't work well. The blue tooth mic was hopefully to be useful to enable Winlink Vara FM using a digirig and the Kenwood type dual pin input. Unfortunately after many hours of fruitless efforts, success could not be found. Considering a direct mic input, but don't know if that will work either. As a 40 year member of Office of emergency management, it was important to have this capability. The only benefit found was being able to hold the tiny screen close to my face. The other advertised capabilities will be tested on a multi-state trip to verify roaming and aprs capabilities. I don't understand why a change in the GPS icon within the same model line without notification occured. Leaving me unsure that an accurate GPS location had been obtained, I had to verify with other devices. Not the value of usefulness I had hoped for.

I've only scratched the surface of all this radio can do.
This radio and skybridge were the latest addition to the shack. I'm still learning about DMR and all the options the AnyTone AT-D578UVIII offers. When the bands are trash or electrical storms threatening and antennas are disconnected communication continues.

This radio is awesome! I purchased it to use as a base station and love it so much I purchased another to use as a mobile. The BT01 mic is a great addition and works flawlessly. Excellent pairing of great equipment and top notch customer service. This is what makes Bridgecom stand out above all others!

5 star service, I just love the hotspot… and customer service goes above and beyond to help me out, since I was new dealing with dmr. University classes has lots of information to help a new comer like me. The radios 878 and 578, are high quality equipment, should last for years. Keep up the good work…. Paul K8PRO.

I ordered the 578, the 878 and the skybridge. As a noob, I was lost on where to start. The support and education BridgeCom Systems provides with my purchases is a big relief. The programming software is a breeze.
