SkyBridge MAX Hotspot

SkyBridge MAX Hotspot

I found the SB Max easy to configure and the unit I received was online in no time. My issue revolves around the lack of information for the radios and how to actually use the Ultra or Super Codeplugs once they are in the radio (AnyTone series of DMR units). There seems to be a lack of actual documentation of how to use the various Channels, Zones or TG once they are in the radio. Also, what would prevent the radio from connecting to the SB Max that is showing green buttons and is active? How is this problem addressed if the SBMax is operational. It seems to be a “radio” problem needing documentation. The A.T. manual that comes with the radios is really meager and no where near descriptive enough to help the user move to towards making contacts by describing the button sequences needed to make said radio contacts because it makes the connection with SB Max. I finally gave up after several tech support emails but did receive and invite to try the Rescue Service BETA to the tune of $100 + with shipping. This will be interesting and I am hopeful my investment in this technology will pan out in the end. Will BC techs explain what they find once they get my SB Max and AnyTone 87UVII+?
Sure hope so. I can’t be the only one struggling with this problem.

Well thought-out design… great construction… super easy to install… and a joy to use!!

This hot spot works wonderfully. It was easy to set up and got me on Digital communication on day 1. I called out CQ was was connected with someone in Puerto Rico with whom I chatted for some 30 minutes. I can't wait to see where I get connected to next.

This gave me the head start I needed to get this up and running! As a farmer I have limited time in large blocks to do anything. As such, learning and executing all the steps to get even this far would have taken who knows how long. Having it in the state you sent it to me, along with my 578 and Maverick, I had my first conversation within hours.
