This is a lovely little radio and very easy to program on the radio or computer , you can down load free software from anytone but make sure you use the latest version as of now 3.01
The manual for the AT-778UV uses English words, but the syntax and context are undecipherable. Thank you, Mike, for the videos on programming, saving to memory and naming a memory channel. Well done and much appreciated.
This radio is available now (July 2021) from various sources as: Anytone AT-778UV, Retevis RT-95, CRT Micron UV and Midland DBR2500. Some arrive "Unlocked" for the North American Band plan; some do not. There are a few YT videos describing how to handle that. I think all of these sources offer the Owner's Manual and the Programming Software as a free download now. There is now a Ver. 2 and a Ver. 3 and you need to know if yours is the "RDW" or the "VOX" version. CHIRP works very well now IF (and only IF) you select the correct version for your particular radio.
After watching your first video,I was getting frustrated as to why the name wasnt being displayed. All is clear now. Thanks for the time in making these vids..👍👍
mike I left a comment on the last video about this please disregard. Thanks for all the help. Maybe we culd have a qso sometime on the winsystem. Cheers!!!
glad i ordered it, got some rc car lipos im gonna hook it to until it goes in the car. Not sure my vision is good enough for all those menus once its mounted.
Unfortunately you can’t. You can write over a previously saved memory channel, I think. But the only way to delete a memory is to use a computer and programming software.
@OnTheMicwithMike ok, thanks. The CPS may be fine, but the cable that came with it is a piece of....well you know. It amazes me that a company would send a cable without all the drivers and put us through the headache we endure
@@bwmcofc absolutely. The issue I've found is the driver for these cables the PL2023 driver I believe, is no longer supported or works in Windows 11. I had to replace a couple of cables with an FTDi chip for it to work now. Which as usual costs a fair bit more than the standard older ones.
You need to turn it on to display the channel name. Press the FUNC button. Select menu item 1 - FUNC menu, then go down to menu number 3 - DSP and you can select to show frequency, channel or name readout from there.
@@timothylewandowski9438 Chirp wouldn't recognise my older model 778. But it did work with a friend's 778 that she passed onto me to program for her. I may update my 778 to the latest firmware and try again but yes, chirp supports them now.
Many thanks for the very kind words John. Much appreciated. As for adding your call sign to the boot up message, you’ll need the programming software to do that. Whether you use the Anytone software or Chirp there’s an option there in settings that allow you to change it and upload to the radio. 73’ and stay safe.
Good afternoon! I want to adjust the channel name so that it can be seen in frequency mode along with other frequencies, and not switch to CH mode/Is it possible?
If you dive into the menu on the radio, you can set the radio to display channel name, channel number or frequency readout. So you can have it display the frequency readout in channel mode. Hope it helps!
@@OnTheMicwithMike If I write frequencies with a name on my computer and then transfer them to the receiver, then only frequencies from memory remain? And the others that are made in the factory are erased? Why when reading the receiver I do not see the inscribed by the manufacturer frequencies?
Go to the channel you want to delete, short press the ‘func’ key to switch function group and you’ll see on screen a button for ‘V/M’. Press the buttons for ‘V/M’ and ‘func’ together for 2 seconds and that saved channel will be deleted.
Yep. Go to the channel you want to delete from memory, short press FUNC key and then press and hold V/M function key together at the same time with the func key for 2 secs. Channel should delete and move onto the next channel.
It is quite possible since this video was done that a newer firmware version is on these radios that may have changed things. I can’t update mine as since windows has stopped support for the programming cable driver, I can no longer update FW at the moment.
@@OnTheMicwithMike how did you go about updating the firmware prior to the change? Ive assumed it's something in the "O" version of the setup software, but the "stun" and "kill" check boxes aren't clear too me.
@@Matthew1028 I haven’t updated it. In fact it’s been sat in a drawer since, I’ve gone back to the older AT-778UV as I can program and update firmware on the computer still.

Great job, made this so much easier than reading the manual. Thanks for the chapter markers too!

Thank you Allan, it is most appreciated. 73’
Once again you made it all look so easy 👍
very helpful I am marking this to my save list
Great to have people like you to help with the tech stuff thanks
Thank you, much appreciated. I only pass on what I’ve learnt :)

Thanks!! Worked like a charm!
Nice one Mike. Clearly explained and presented. I like the look of those radios I must say. 73
Thanks Tim, I love it. It's my favourite dual band at the moment. 73' and stay safe mate.
Absolutely brilliant spent hours to do what u done in seconds lol Now sorted Thanks Great information

Not a problem :) and yes most definitely if possible. 73 mate.

Excellent presentation Mike, thank you.
Brilliant! I have one on the way. I have seen many videos, but none show this done.👍
I wish It'd do one more character, though.🍻🤠🇦🇺⁷³
Great easy to follow vids Mike - Thanks very much
You’re welcome and thank you, appreciate the views. 73’ stay safe.
Excellent, makes it so very clear.
when naming a channel if you do a typo, how do you delete a letter?
Great help. Thank you.
Cheers Mike :)
brill video subscribed thankyou
Many thanks for the sub. Appreciate it indeed.
Thanks mate!
Thank you, really helped me.

Just bought one, thanks.
I'm in search of access to the service menu. I would like to trim the low & medium power levels.
Is there no way to bring up the frequency that is attached to that channel name with out jumping back through all of those menu hoops? TIA 73 KN6ZVI
Afraid not, it's a right pain to keep switching but there's no work around I know of. 73
Hello again, Mike. I'm slowly getting a chance to finish programming my radio. One thing I can not find is how to delete a memory channel?

Thank you. All the best 73’
Brilliant it workes :} many thanks.
Great video but didnt work on AT 778UV very frustrating radio , any workaround pls?
It works on all 778UV's I've programmed for people. Unless the newer ones have an updated firmware.
Worked on mine but I entered my names through the upload. I just moved to the second stem of choosing the name.
Good job! Wa2kbz
Very much appreciated, thank you
THANKS MATE FROM TENNEESEE
I entered all of the names in chirp, but it is showing the frequency only on the radio. How do I make it display name?
You need to turn it on to display the channel name. Press the FUNC button. Select menu item 1 - FUNC menu, then go down to menu number 3 - DSP and you can select to show frequency, channel or name readout from there.
Does Chirp have an update. I can't program my radio with chirp
@@timothylewandowski9438 the latest daily builds support the 778
Let me update chirp again. Thanks!

Do you know how to get your call sign on display on booting radio any information would be great Tia John

Just setting up same radio and also stored Gb3iw but noticed you have it set to narrow.
How do I find out wether a repeater needs narrow or wide pls
All repeaters are usually narrow FM. Wide just brings in a lot of noise. You can use either but NFM generally gives a better reception.
@@OnTheMicwithMike Cheers bud nice one.
Can you have the Alpha Tagging and Freq Showing in the Display, or is it one or the other?
Thanks
It’s one or the other I’m afraid.
@@OnTheMicwithMike Cheers
@@OnTheMicwithMike THANKS...I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING
Is there a way to display the name and the frequency? Sometime I like to know the frequency I am on, not just the name. 73...KJ7WKC, UTAH USA

Doesnt appear to work for me. When you change channel and go back, it resorts to frequency, even though i have it set to display NM.

@@bertolo75 My bad 🙂. Thought that's what you meant.
Is a gmrs license legal to operate radio
Only on GMRS specific frequencies. For amateur radio (2m and 70cm) you’ll need your ham radio license.
Ty for the help.. Please do more😁👍 KG7QIS /WRVF620
Did mine in chirp and I think this answered my question I just needed to know how to change it from frequency to name thank you for your time
