Getting the capabilities and performance of the D878UV at the B-Stock price worked out really well. The radio I received was blemish free and works perfectly. I have a D868 I bought about 6 months ago and the two are amazingly similar in performance and features with the edge going to the new D878. I enjoy these radios for their DMR capabilities and also their analog FM capabilities in the ham bands. I do highly recommend them.

I have been a fan of the Anytone Line of handheld DMR radios for a long time. Reason I bought the AT-D878UV is to round out my radio collection. I now all four versions and variants, from the AT-D868UV to the latest AT-D878UVII Plus.

Another I reason got the radio is help do presentations at my local HAM radio club demonstrations such as connecting to DMR Hot Spots, and DMR simplex operation. The extra radio helps with those demonstrations.

Just because the radio is coming from B-Stock does not mean you getting a lesser radio. It means you are getting a radio at a great price in like new conditions. When you receive a B-Stock product from Bridgecom it comes in the original packing box with manual , charger , battery programing cable, and belt clip. Everything you to get started.

All and all I have been very happy my latest purchase from Bridgecom

First off, I really don't know what the difference was between buying B-stock and buying new. Radio came flawless.
Awesome battery life and once I got hooked up with the codeplug from the Interstate Network here in the Delmarva Region, I was off to the races.
Excellent audio and plenty of "umph" in Turbo mode to get to the local repeaters. No idea how this works through a hotspot, but I wanted my experience to be "repeater-based," so hopefully I won't have to rely on a hotspot for a while.
Let's chalk this up as a "win."

Hi Great great buy goes good with my previous
878 uv ,but the firm ware way higher than my other
1.12 firm ware and to many steps to up grade it to the B stock ,so going to have 2 code plugs 1 for each . The Radios though are Great !

The Anytone radios are the creme de la crème of the “Chinese” radios. I don’t know of any others (Baofeng, TYT, etc) that are part 90 certified. That aside, the AT-D 878UV is a great performer. The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that you can no longer change the band mode as they locked it.
