Unlimited Range Secure Two-Way Radios - Anysecu G6

My Network Radio Videos:

[cidcolead]

Brings back the functionality we had in Nextel. Keep in mind, the cellphone system is a repeater and this is a short range radio.

[chrissewell]

It looks like the radios used in the TV show "Firefly". (Best Space Western ever! 🤠)

[cpr]

And as soon as you’re out of cell range it’s a paperweight, which is a lot of the point of radios today. It also doesn’t seem to have any kind of mic or headset input/output.

[deeiks]

That's pretty interesting. I think it would be really useful if it had a built in radio as well, to fall back to when out of 3g/4g coverage. Then they would be awesome for group riding motorcycles etc.

I wish I could test these, we work inside of basically a Faraday cage and have a repeater antenna that allows us to get some cell phone reception in the building, back in the Nextel days, we could and have talked to a coworker from the East Coast while they were on top of the mountain in Hawaii looking at the big radio telescope, he was ABOVE the clouds and we could still hear him clear as day. Also used for our deep sea fishing trips where we could still chat over 40 miles from shore. The Nextels were perfect for staying in contact, but when they shut that PTT down, we switched to Verizon cell phones that had the feature that did not work nearly as well, and they shut that service down as well.

When you say they could be used for hiking or camping, I wouldn’t rely on these for that. If at any point the cell signal drops, they become nothing but a brick.

A Wi-Fi version of this radio would be be interesting because Wi-Fi could be installed at a remote work site where 4G does not exist. The Wi-Fi access point could be tied to one of the various satellite Internet providers for wide area coverage.

Small, strong and simple. Definately have a role to play in many businesses. I like it.🍻🤠

[thestevecbr]

thanks for the info. i’ve always beeen feeling this “radio” for quite some time now but don’t know specifically what it does, but now i know cause of you. thanks…

[VASL]

To me it's just a funny looking cell phone with limited capabilities

[markschneiderhan]

Another way to do the same old thing, thanks for the information. These videos have saved me lots of

[wtmayhew]

It looks like it may be more rugged than mobile phones. Having a loud speaker is a huge plus on a job site. Simple operation is also a plus. The disadvantage is that you’re still paying incrementally to use a mobile phone network and you might not have access to that at a geographically remote work site.

[jasoncarswell]

Hiking would be an iffy use for a device that relies entirely on 3/4G wireless signal. Mountains play havoc with my signal every time I'm out there.

Of course this is in the Rocky Mountains, USA, so I'm sure things are easier in the UK.

[chuckbee]

I’m 44 years old but you just told my story word for word except I was listening to ice T, NWA, too short, mc eight, snoop, Beastie Boys. I remember I got a pager in 7th grade because Eazy E rapped about it.

[pauls]

Secure? Maybe to you and I but this makes it so much easier for a foreign state to listen to everything…….

[HattmannenNilsson]

I'm sure there are applications where these could come in handy because of their rugged and simple design, but for most applications any budget smart phone will probably do the job just as well.

As for potential cons; always keep in mind is obsolescence. For one thing, in ten years time, who knows if the software for it will still work or if your computer even has the right port to plug it into.
Another is that it relies on Real PTT, so who runs those servers and could they disappear tomorrow, may be relevant questions to consider.
An additional point about longevity is that the cellular networks change. 2G and 3G is starting to get phased out in many places or will soon be. Which leaves 4G. How long will that stick around?

Those are points to consider. The answer may well be that they're irrelevant for your purpose.
They sure look like neat, little practical units that do what they're supposed to and do it well.

[RookieLock]

I've been waiting for someone to do a video on these, thanks Lewis

Very cool little sets indeed but the lack of WiFi connectivity seems a bit of an omission. Would also be a nice feature to have independent, programmable UHF freqs built in - perhaps the PMR 446 band for Europe or GMRS for the US for when out of cellular coverage but local handset to handset comms is still desirable? However, still very cool little things indeed and a great overview - thanks. :)

Used cell network radios one season instead of uhf on a live tv show. These would work better than analog radios or regular cell phones in a lot of situations. Push a physical button to quickly talk to a group of people anywhere there’s LTE coverage. They weren’t great for live show cues though, as there was up to a second of delay in receiving transmissions. Also not great when multiple people have them in close proximity without headsets, they all receive and replay with slightly different delays. I would consider a headset jack an essential feature for a network radio

[joelmulder]

We’ve used these sorts of radios on video productions we need longer range but not everyone who needs a radio has have a radio license.
Very useful little things as long as you’ll never be anywhere outside of cellular range.
