I am very impressed, once again. I did not expect this feature packed system. Vhf/ Uhf/DMR powerhouse will serve our Emcomm needs for years to come.
Great radio. No issues so far and was a bit of a different CPS but still basically the same. Easy to import my other radio channel lists and such. Better reception on my allstar node with maverick over anytone 168. For some reason 168 drops RX on certain allstar radios. Some folks would be choppy Rx and couldn't interact with them. 578 plus was no issues and maverick is just as good with this.
Gps lists satellites quickly and still learning how to use that feature.
Great radio definitely recommend.
The Maverick is easy to program with it's CPS. It has good sound. Support from BridgeCom is outstanding.
Awesome! Experience all the way around. Superior customer support and high quality training provided with your purchases.
I write that headline because the radio has an Anytone cousin that doesn't look nearly as good in my opinion. While I've only had this radio a few days, the provided code plugs made getting it up and running on my duplex hotspot so much easier. The build quality is solid with a hefty all day battery. The value offered by Bridgecom makes purchasing it here a no brainer especially for those who may need a little help. The instructional videos are top notch and you can be assured that you will be successful in your quest to master DMR/NXDN with the support they provide. 73! de N2ULC
If you are a dummy like me with a busy schedule and time restraints then listen up. . I am absolutely blown away by this hotspot. The Maverick and Skybridge Max plug and play package is worth every dollar you spend on it because of the time saving it will save you from having to learn to set it up. Bridgecom is an absolute ham operator's best friend .Their extras they throw in is an awesome deal. I am glad I watched a you tube video a couple months ago and learned about Bridgecom and their products and services or I would not have known of this great company .
I like the radio and it seems to work great so far. I have found some bugs in the CPS which I expect will get fixed in future releases. The biggest one, if I delete a talk group from the middle of the list and shift the ones below up to fill the space, I shifts all of the talk groups that are connected to the digital channels. Also, I made some Optional Setting adjustments in the CPS, loaded to the radio, and the settings would not take. If I made the adjustment on the radio, they would take. I uploaded the program from the radio to the CPS after making the changes and things seem fine now.
Thank-you Amy, BridgeCom Systems makes Ham Radio Easy-to-use.
The antenna was a perfect fit for tha at-878. Picking up a lot more and coming through crystal clear.defo an upgrade to the 878. Would recommend. Will be buying from again as they are reputable.cudos
Returning to Amateur Radio after 45 years was a shock. So many options available and at my age, putting up antennas, experimenting wasn’t my goal. I wanted to be a user, quickest and most efficient as possible. Thanks to BridgeCom I was able to get online within minutes. So appreciative. The knowledgeable folks at BCS were at my disposal, Ty🙏
Lucas tried hard but unfortunately radio was not able to get working??? Thanks for trying. Ron
I am still waiting for this product to ship. Several days after getting the email the order was fulfilled and then not hearing anything else, I reached out and was told it would ship in a couple more weeks.
The cable works exactly as expected and I’ve had no issues programming my AnyTone 878VII Plus radio. It’s fully compatible and feels solid and reliable.
The downside is the price: $20 for a cable plus $10 for slow, regular shipping feels excessive.
That said, this store carries pretty much everything for AnyTone radios, which makes it a good option if you don’t want to wait for slow China shipping from AliExpress or risk buying cheap imitations on Amazon or eBay.
Convenient and trustworthy, but definitely expensive.
I believe I already replied this review request. Please see my prior review regarding for specific details.
HOWEVER, for those who haven't read my prior review, I will say that BridgeCom Systems is an EXCELLENT company. They sell quality products and provide first-rate service. Not inexpensive, but WORTH IT.
