Easy to set up, great instructions. Worked perfectly out of the box. I was able to work DX stations n the Ukraine and Kuwait within 45 minutes after opening the package. PS: your BridgeCom University instructions are fantastic.
I purchased the ultimate shack and what a great kit! I especially love the Maverick with the hot spot - a FUN set up! I would offer that the code plug setup and online videos really made the 'on the air immediately' a reality. Great company, great customer service, great videos, great experience!! Thank you and 73
I fly around a lot for business and I take my Maverick radio with me. Getting this extra battery makes a big difference. I just wish it had a USB-C charging port on it.
In my case, it was all packaged like it was new, the radio itself appeared new. Firmware was up-to-date in my case. This is my first DMR radio, so I am still learning, Not a windows fan, but the software to program the radio does a good job, along with the description of what the feature does at the bottom - saves some time referencing the manual. Audio checks on UHF / VHF repeaters all came back good. Now that i can make it do what I know, time to play with the DMR side. I have not set up the APRS features, as I have another radio already set up, but eventually. Only whine I would have is the lowest Volume is a little louder then I would like. Plenty of YouTube videos on this product. And I had a quick chat with there tech support - very response, and answered my questions right away.
Thanks for the new adventure / rabbit hole.

But this one is for satellite comms. That’s the sole purpose is to use it for satellite communications.
Needed a mag mount antenna to help signal strength with my AT-D878UV while mobile. Drill mount was not an option. Good build. Strong magnet with protective base to minimize starches on paint. Liked the SMA connector pre-installed. Did not want to fuss around with adapters. Quick ship. Great value!
This is the first DMR radio I have been able to get working!!!! Great customer service and training by BridgeCom!
The other day my 5 year old 868 battery refused to take a charge. I ordered the current replacement and was pleasantly surprised to find you have added the C-style charging port. The charging cup still works but the new port seems to charge quicker. So far the new battery is working well and fits perfectly.
I needed a hotspot that would connect to 5G WiFi and the Skybridge fit the bill. It was easy to program and get on the air, and the audio quality is excellent. I have other PiStar hotspots but the Skybridge is by far the best among them.
The Maverick is a solid radio with many features I have yet to explore. It's frequently on my belt even when I am on my property, Since the closest DMR repeater is about 21 miles away, it's paired with my duplex hotspot most of the time.
I really appreciate Bridgecom's education too. Very good videos.
This is a fantastic resource to keep going back to refreshing your mind on how to use and what to do couldn’t ask for anything better.
They work exactly what I like, especially for em comms
The radio is packed full of options. The course goes over all of them. I can go over everything multiple times. This helps me use this radio to its fullest potential. Thanks
The AT-D578UVIII Plus is a high-power mobile radio that delivers strong, reliable performance where it counts. It provides excellent range to distant repeaters and stands out for its loud, punchy transmit modulation and clear receive audio that cuts through noise in mobile environments.
Even with DMR, GPS, Air-band, and Bluetooth onboard, the real highlight is its strong, confident on-air performance.
This is not an entry-level radio—it’s designed for operators who are willing to learn and properly configure its advanced features to unlock its full capability.
Overall, it’s a feature-packed radio built for users who want power, clarity, and dependable communication in the field.
Great code plug, saves loads of time and allows you to start learning from a legel playing field. Highly Recommend M0MXN
Not sure just benefit I get from the membership except the customer service has been great. I only used the Super Codeplug for testing. I built my own code plug.
I haven't had occasion to use the battery yet, but it seems equivalent to the battery that came with the radio.
This is a great service with lots of bonus features wish i did not have to downsize subscription or i would love to keep it
