I'll wait until Anytone releases a mobile DMR radio with bigger and detachable Screen. Thanks and 73!

It's probably not that easy to upgrade the memory because it probably micro inline soldered but by the time you need to upgrade the memory, there will be at least another version with more features and capabilities. Thanks for the excellent review.

All D578UV series models have the exact same amount of flash memory internally (2GB), and as of the latest firmwares for each iteration, they all now support 500, 000 contacts. So, the III Plus $60 premium comes down to the 220 band (but with crippled max power), Air Band Rx, and Analog APRS Rx.

So love my 878 I’m considering selling my Yaesu ftm500 I use as a base to get a 578uv3 with the BT01 controller what ya think?

I like Anytone but this is lackluster. A much larger screen or a remote head is desperately needed in this.

[JustMetoby]

Good info. Want to upgrade to one of these might just wait a little longer

I have the 578 Pro. It will beacon analog APRS on one VFO while I use the other VFO for repeater work. I don't know if it will simultaneously transmit APRS while I"m talking on a repeater, however. According to Bridgecom, the Plus model adds aircraft receive and APRS receive in addition to the extended channels, talk groups and contact IDs. My Pro only transmits analog and digital APRS. Not bad for $60 in my mind. However, since I'm looking at adding the Woxun GMRS mobile (which also covers the aircraft band) to my mobil mix, I probably won't upgrade. I don't know yet how valuable APRS receive is yet. Great review as always.

Have one NIB since 2021, would really like to see a video or info on how to program analog channels manually. Have not been able to find any videos or info how to do this. Seems they all just jump into DMR and Digital ID programming. Is it even possible to even manually program with the keypad? In my area I only need a handful of analog channels. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

This has so many features, I wish it would receive more bands like Yaesu does.

Aloha Jason, what a great and brutally honest review. I currently own two Anytone mobile transceivers, the AT5888 UVII & the UVIII. I bought the UVIII because here in Honolulu, we have more active 220 machines than 440. The two main reasons I didn’t buy the 578 Pro was the extremely high price and the very disappointing 5 watts for 220 which you can now buy HT’s that do more than 5 watts 220 such as the Baofeng A58s that does 10 watts on VHF and 220 mhz. The only thing this 578 Pro had going for it really for me was the cool ass microphone, super super nice! 73’

Great video with detailed instructions. Unfortunately on my AT-D578UV I get to "Settings" and then "Radio Set" and then nothing in the video is on my radio. Unable to locate "Other Func". and further.

I am a GMRS license holder currently but I am working on getting my technician license for Ham. Can I use this radio to do both and do you know if there has been any update to this radio?

[tcfitz]

I would have paid $499 for this if, in addition to the the aprs and memory upgrade, if 220 had a higher power output, and a detachable face.

[jamesfairhurst]

I have ordered the plus, primarily for the air band rx, and the ability to condense dmr/analog/2m and 70cm in one package. This and my HF Icom is-718 will cover all my needs, in my shack. Ordered for £337 including shipping and vat in the UK. Will do an unboxing video when it arrives. 73.

The new 578 III sounds on the surface like the 878 II. You can set the Analog APRS to transmit when you key up to transmit or unkey to receive. You can also set it up to transmit every X number of minutes. I have not had a lot of use of the Analog APRS until the last couple of weeks, when the local iGate came back online. The two main reasons I bought the 878 II was for the Analog APRS receive and the 500, 000 contacts memory. I have seen some people on YouTube turning on the 220 band, but they warn you that they may brick the radio if they do this.

[nkkri]

under SETTINGS, RADIO SET, OTHER FUNC there is "Weather Alarm" and "Weather Channel" Weather Channel has 10 choices. Can you explain what they are used for. Thanks

[gorillamotors]

Just got my 578 plus in today. Boy that is a tiny screen. Is there a add-on or mod to add on a larger screen?

[KEODY-WV-Ares-Ham-Dad-O]

How strong is the vhf/uhf side of this radio

[davidlandgarten]

The APRS receive function is the big upgrade on this. Currently the pro model will beacon/Tx in the background. It doesn't need to be tuned in on the screen. Not sure about APRS activity while transmitting.... I can say in general, it does not beacon as consistently as my FT3D...How come?

[chipfornaris]

Thanks for this as R&L just told me it is a full 25 watts on 220 and i knew that sounded wrong..I'm going to wait for the AT-5888III as no one has it in stock now???
