- Join me as I test what I think might be my favourite cheap Chinese radio that I have tested so far, the Anytone AT-778UV, a 2 part video this one with the other part landing in the next few days, dont miss out on this one if you are after a fantastic budget mobile radio with great audio, a very nice screen and mic and a radio that actually does transmit the power levels it says the manual.
Radio available here
www.aliexpress...
That is the exact same radio as my retevis RT95
Mine had no transmit audio. Opened the carrier on simplex but no voice. Waiting to hear from Amazon seller now.
nice video always watching and now with drone great.
waiting for part 2 of the video
Thanks so much, part 2 is a good one it should be up tomorrow 🎄
I've got this radio on the way, and I'm trying to get it programmed on the computer so I can start playing right away. I can't figure out what a number of the functions you can program to the buttons are, do you you know where I can find a list of the abbreviations and their functions?
Looks very well for a non Yaesu radio! Thanks for video and Marry Christmas !
Merry Xmas to you also, its a superb little radio this :-) more on the programming and a mobile test along with temperature tests on the next video, expected to land mid week all being well.
I have just bought this radio. Really worth the money, just a shame that the programming software cannot be used to set this radio up, as the two are incompatable with each other.
It can you just need the right version of software for your firmware 👍
Just picked one of these up in the US but under the Midland brand, pn DBR2500. Same radio as the Anytone AT-778UV but with a readable manual (still confusing) and Midland labeling. Software is on the Midland website and they run specials. Got it plus the programming cable, shipped in the US for $107. RF watts measured in UHF was 5, 15 and 25 W measured, like the VHF band. Not sure why yours is reading low in UHF. One thing I don't like is that I programmed a channel with CTCSS decode (receive) and the unit still breaks squelch for RF noise even with no valid CTCSS tone. Wish it would display more alphanumerics too for the channel name. Otherwise nice small radio and no fan noise (obviously). Hopefully Chirp will support it soon.
That good to know, it is a great radio for the money
Can you transmit on one,and receive on another??
@@richarddalton5191 Got dual watch so 2 frequencies monitored via band a/b so yes
Hello. I was just reading your comment about the Anytone at-778. Are you saying software for this radio is on the Midland web site?, if so, under what link. Thanks
@@carlpickel3009 Midland DBR2500. RUclips doesn't allow posting links in comments. Google takes you right too it.
Excellent video looking forward to part two. Hopefully I will take my foundation licence soon I’ve been putting it off for years must give Kettering club a call just need to build up the courage lol. Happy Christmas and thanks for all the time money and effort you put into making these videos I really enjoy them 👍
Thanks Pete the videos do take time and money to do so I'm really pleased you enjoy them, best of luck if you do take your exam and have a great Xmas. 🙂
knoxieman thank you for the reply, my biggest problem is finding the time to take the exam but I would like todo it before the new rules come in. Thanks again merry Christmas 🎄
Great video, thanks
Thanks 😎
I can’t stand the microphone on my (Retevis RT95 which is a carbon copy and manufactured by the same company) radio. The PTT is easily keyed on accident because the resistance is practically nonexistent, it has a very thin profile thickness which makes it difficult if you have larger hands (like me) and why ?, why ?, why ? Do so many Chinese manufacturers continue to install those ridiculous “mic hangers” instead of the standard button, on radio mics. My only other complaint is the volume and volume adjustment. Having to push a button to engage the rotary knob every time an adjustment is needed is ridiculous and the max volume produced by the radio is very weak. I had to install an amplified external speaker with its own volume control in order to obtain an adequate volume level.
Other than that, I like the the radio lol. But, until they make improvements in the areas mentioned above, I won’t be purchasing any more, nor do I recommend.
What amazon antenna would work for this? I want to use it as a portable backpack setup. Been using a Baofend DM 1701 with a group of friends backpacking.
You don't want something too large , you will need an adaptor cable to connect it, look for folding tactical antennas, Ringway Manchester has done reviews on here, folding antennas pack away easily and give good performance. The socket on the back of this radio is SO239 for PL259 plug so you will need a pl259 male to sma adapter, you will need to check what type male/female the folding antenna has, if you get a long cable you can strap the folder to your back pack and run the cable inside, the radio isn't water proof so you will need to keep it dry, on high power it does run hot also don't get the antenna near your head when using high power. 😎
Nice vid knoxie, merry christmas. When you do field test vid could you also let me know your mobile antenna set up? I'm taking my 2e0 exam 5th Jan and looking to set up dual band tx in car. Thanks craig
Thanks for the kind comment, the mobile antenna is just a generic dual band antenna on a mag mount, I don't know much about it other than that I've had it years, best of luck with the exam and I hope Santa brings you some nice radio related gifts. 😎
Scan speed?
That radio is better than Leixen 898?
Nice
Hello Friend!!! How is that radio? They say she is very deaf and that the output transistor burns easily, I listen to your experience with this Chinese team, dearest
Just bought the identical CRT Micron labeled version and its far from deaf gets good reports from UK Hams ?
12 watts on a 25watt radio?? Thats pathetic.
I have the revision II of this radio. On 1.0 SWR I get 24.75W on VHF, and 22.50w on UHF.
