AnyTone AT 778UV A Great Budget Minded Ham Rig

[Ibelieve]

I bought one and have it setup as a base and its the best so far I love the radio the audio is so crisps and clear the radio is well worth buying

[robjanusch]

GREAT little rig!! I've used it for about a year now. My only downside is, NO volume knob.

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 now IF (and only IF) you select the correct version for your particular radio.

I set up a TYT-TH-9800 Plus for the local volunteer fire brigade as their central base and three mobiles. They got five of them for £150 each. I think for one it was £165. They have had no problems from them and they have a huge range of frequencies. They are not as easy on the eye as the transceiver on the video. But the remotely mountable face made it more convenient for the volunteer fire brigade.

Joseph David - I was having the same problem programming it manually - Once on the desired frequency in FBI on your main with correct offset etc. - push and hold p2 while it is on vm to enter the channel - the channel number will flash - choose the desired channel to save on with the knob - once on the desired channel push and hold the p2 key again and it should be saved -

Looks like a fun rig to play around with.

[mikehume]

[dannywarren]

Looking to put one of these for my SKYWARN nets..
Thanks ....

[TheRealCobraBurnout]

Great vid. $122 seems like a good price too.

[AndyWattsSP]

It certainly looks interesting.. Does it have a scan facility in either memory or VFO mode? Many thanks

[saltire]

I accidently set the password to on in the function mode and never
actually inputted one .You need to enter 123456 to get this back to
normal .

🗣 Does this radio come unlocked and how does it compare with the diminutive *TYT TH-8600* radio? I want a base radio that I can carry in my go-bag (or bugout bag). The 8600 is IP67-rated and is in the same price range. So I've narrowed down my choices to these two. Which do you guys recommend? Both are 25W-ish, dual band transceivers. And I love 💕 both. Both can be grabbed and gone, too. Any ideas?

[annax]

Got the radio ....just need to unlock it now ....new vid

[theretrogeek]

Can you transmit world wide with a set like this? Thanks

Just bought one today july 26 2019 for my heavy truck. Had a little mess with it in the car but will take it out tomorrow in the truck and see how it goes. I only use a little diamond mag mount. Nothing fancy. Km looking forward to it

[jasong]

Any advice for someone starting out in ham? I'd like to make a setup and learn how to use it and what to do in an emergency. My big out is in Montana and I'd just like to be ready.
