BridgeCom Plus (Annual Membership) with FREE Ultra Codeplug
Thanks for the expedited repair and return on the hotspot. I tried several times but no joy. Also giving you a shoutout for the many helpful “how to” videos on YouTube taking the pain out of learning DMR. Make it a great day ! GM
BridgeCom Plus (Monthly Membership) with FREE Super Codeplug
Everything worked. Luckily I had the program copied to the computer because the key card quit responding after using it twice.
Inexperienced HAM here, owner of little used FT-4X. I bought my D878UVII Plus on an impulse/whim. Thanks to BridgeCom University and world class technical support I am up and running and know enough about pi-star, DMR, BrandMeister,and the radio to be dangerous. Shout out to Cody, Adam and Sebastian for their outstanding videos and to Gray and Lucas for their comprehensive and rapid response to my emails and support for not only CPS and the radio, but also in helping me configure my 3rd party hotspot. I almost bought the bare radio from Amazon, but buying through BridgeCom was the way to go - the University, the universal code plug, and all the documentation was the right decision.
The web based interface makes monitoring a breeze and adding additional modes a snap. It's reliability is second to none !
Worked great!
Much cheaper options with the same functionality, shop else where and don't believe the sales pitch.
loved the simplicity of the plug and play with my previously purchased sky bridge max Hotspot. It has opened a whole new world for me that I was ignoring love Digital modes specially DMR radio now more than ever
Worked without any issues
The radio works as expected. The programming cable was defective and created challenges getting the radio set up and operational. I attempted to contact BridgeCom several times without success. I finally called them and was transferred to Amy. She apologized for the situation and wasn’t sure why it wasn’t addressed more promptly. She offered to ship a new cable, but, I already resolved the issue on my own by purchasing a cable from Amazon at my own expense. I am disappointed and frustrated that after spending $515.00 for a new radio, I had to spend additional money to get a cable that should of been included in the sale price as advertised.
Great price and excellent equipment, Affordable and met my expectations and more. I don't know why didn't get it sooner
I received everything preprogramed. The majority of the hardware (other than radios) was no name and no info on the equipment. I have no idea who built the vehicle antenna, antenna cable, vehicle mount to just name a few. When I turned the radios on I found one programed with the wrong call sign. I would've thought that when it comes programmed it would have local repeaters in the radio. There were none. I have to reprogram to put the right call sign in and add repeaters. Also, once everything is installed I will have to use analyzers to test if this is the right equipment and what is can transmit and receive. I did this because I don't know much about DMR. I think if I would've done it my self I would learned what I needed to know.
It's a great radio, I just wish it had a removable head. I am aware of hte remote mic head, but it doesn't suit my current mounting solution.
I first tried mine in my Jeep. I sync'd the radio up to the sound system with the bluetooth, just like you do a smartphone! Now, I can be listening to music going down the trail, or road, and when a radio call comes in, the AnyTone AT-D878UVII-Plus mutes the music and I hear the radio call on my speakers! This little button allows me to "key up" without ever having to take my hands off the wheel ... amazing!!
You have got to have one!!!
Who wants to haul around a desk charger when you're backpacking or camping, right? Hey, what about using your radio in the Jeep? The USB-C chargeable battery is "perfect" for all of these! You can charge it in the tent, or on the road! It's "perfect"!
AND, they put the port in the right spot - ON THE BOTTOM!
So, you can have the cable charging it while you drive and use it! Some vendors put the charging port on the back, which makes for an awkward situation when placing your radio in a phone holder or radio mount in the vehicle. BUT ... like with everything else, Bridgecom thinks of these things in advance!
I plan to buy a couple more of these batteries ...
THIS RADIO AnyTone AT-D878UVII-Plus ... is THE ONLY RADIO you will ever need!
With bluetooth, it connects to the system in my Jeep. I can be listening to music, and when I get a radio call, it switches over! The remote bluetooth key button that I mounted on the steering wheel is "awesome" for talking going down the road!
And with these batteries, you are "set"!
Bridgecom raised the bar of expectancy for service companies working on ham radio equipment! These guys are simply awesome!!! I had my radio fixed once and they quickly found the problem and just shipped me a new one!!!
After programming it, (with my old programs) I am thoroughly enjoying it and considering buying a 2nd one just to have handy!!!
