I found the scan feature very useful to find others ham DMR users as well as Public Safety and Store and mall frequencies. I enjoy listening to the non hams more than the hams. Good fox hunt radio.
I like using some Hytera radios as scanners because you can set channels up to watch each time slot or both time slots at once if you select pseudo trunk. The PD782 has nice FPP features also so you don't have to connect it to a PC to make a little change.
Wow... You just made my wait one more day for shipping to me become an eternity!🤣 I am even more happy with my D878 UVII purchase! I hope I can do scanning too!🤞😇👍
Hi Chris. I tried letting mu HD1 listen to FM broadcast for about an hour and that seems to have done the trick. Thanks for the tip. Now I don't have to go and try to explain to Amazon why I have to return the second HD1. You saved me a lot of trouble. Thanks Mate!
Haha it's a common fault.my only complaint with the radio and it's a small one there is a tiny Pop at the start of each over and this can be rectified with a tiny modification.
Thank you for the comment. It would be exactly the same. A private call goes out to one ID number a group call goes out to multiple. Any tone is particularly good at how long it will stay connected to a talk group either private or group
Hey mate can you use a nx5200 to scan dmr? Like I set up the channels so there is endless possibility to hit right color, group etc for conventional receive only. Just can't get it to decode and they don't use ras.
I have a YEASU FT 65E but seems hard to pick up anything local apart from Mosques!. Worth switching to digital ?. looking to listen in to like ShopWatch ETC if they ain't trunked which it all seems nowadays. thanks.
I gave been hearing alot of new DMR activity around me on commercial bands, DSD+ was not working well with my 90s RadioShack scanner with a discriminator tap and my only other options are a Motorola XPR7550 and XPR 6300, so this is an obvious buy for me to know whats new in the area! Thanks
If for example my friend has successfully reverse engineered the software MC4 protocol which is basically a mixture of Base64 and AES256 ...could this be implemented in DMR radio decryption of tx not in the clear? We are curious
I have a question about this.For using this radio as a scanner listening other conversations do you still need a radio ID? Put it simply,can i listen without an ID or not? It depends if you are through a repeater or a private hotspot? Thank you
Gerald Wilson You will be able to hear some digital communication which is not ham radio. But you won’t be able to sniff it out. If you know the frequency colour code and timeslot and talk group you can program it as a channel manually. But where the any tone excels is the ability to sniff out the relevant parameters on the radio
Hi I'm looking at the ALINCO DJ-MD5XEG what is your opinion I just want something to listen to on a night or probably get my licence in the future, thanks in advance
Thealinco is very similar to the Anytone. I personally would get the Anytone and have done. The any tone will receive updates far longer than the alinco. They both are great I don’t think you’ll go far wrong with that one if you can’t find an any tone.
You cannot use baeofeng for DMR scanning, like this video. The station you were hearing was coming through my hotspot DMR, which uses the Internet. The whole idea of the video is to show that you can use any tone to find New DMR signals to listen to.
Hello christ how are ive been watching all your videos and love the details u give ! Please i have a question could the anytone 878 monitor hytera dmr radios ? And thank you so much
Mohammad Zoulghina thanks Mohammed. I do not have any Hytera radios or repeaters nearby. But I would be surprised if it didn’t. I have heard several things that are voice communication security stuff like that. As well as all types of Amata radio stuff.
Hello christ, i really appreciate your reply. Where i live only public safety and police uses DMR. And im very new to dmr and we dont have public dmr repeaters, ill keep watching ur videos, so again thank you so much for ur content
So this digi monitor only works from a blank code plug? Without resetting my 878, I've gone through the steps twice, the only thing that is scannable is my scanning list. 😪
As long as you have the radio in amateur mode it will work. You may have to assign a button to do it. I only reset the radio to show that no setup was required. When doing a search for other frequencies it will let you hear transmissions normally skipped. When you have it in used in ham radio DMR you will hear the conversation of the talk group the Repeater or hotspot is on. Rather than just see the green light showing up
Does this also Scan analog as well as digital I’m looking for a cheap scanner to get back into scanning. Also I would not be transmitting would I need a license to use this radio in the uk

Johnny Crowley I have told the manufacturer about this many times. Now about a earphone. This radio has a Kenwood connector. One part is speaker and the other is microphone. I’m seem to remember the earphone part is smaller probably 2.5 mm instead of 3.5 mm we are used to. 2.5 mm is used in America and you may be able to get some headphones with a volume control on them. Which would reduce the volume. But the main microphone would still need to be used so worth experimenting. But look into what size the microphone connector is
Thanks mate I appreciate that. There is no such a thing as an inexpensive digital scanner that's what makes this special. You could buy an 868 and receive digital communication like shop watch.

Hello amazing video, which DMR radio currently uses the same scanner as the Anytone 868, could you recommend some to buy today. greetings from Chile.
Hello, any of the Anytone like 868 878 578 as long as they do DMR, it will have this feature
