AnyToneMini Size Dual Band Transceiver Mobile Radio VHF/UHF Two Way Radio AT-779UV for Car Vehicle Black

Arrived with all accessories to get it mounted and programmed. Actually very impressed with the size. It fit under my radio between the cubby in a 2016 RDX.Got on 2M calling within minutes of install and a good QSO. For a simple Mobile unit, this works great. Luckily my vehicle runs 14.3 Volts when on so it’s pushing out the marked power. Integrated speaker works great and is plenty loud while clear. Handheld mic provides all the functionality you need.It would be great if instructions provided a QR code to the actual CPS. The ones on the Anytone website did not read the radio but eventually I found the Radioddity DB-20 CPS is the one I needed.

This is a very good dual band vhf/uhf, miniature mobile transceiver. With the manufacturers software installed on your computer, it is easy to enter the frequencies, repeater offsets, tones, etc. I found it small enough to easily fit into the cell phone shelf of my Honda Civic and have room for the Anytone Smart 10 meter, converted to cover 11 meter transceiver to sit above it. you cannot beat the price for the value, so I recommend that ham radio operators purchase, confidently, knowing that it will cover the amateur bands.

Like: Small size, easily changeable band limits, comes with a programming cable.Don't like: the instructions are very light. Because it's so small figuring out some of the functions is a pain in the ass. I've had to google how to do something more than once.That said, with a cheapo mag mount antenna on my roof, I'm easily hitting repeaters 20MI away and some about 30MI. I don't have issues with the performance, it does work. We'll see how long it lasts, but so far it's installed and working fine for me.

Like that it has a volume knob and on off gets hot needs a fan loud volume for such mini radio value for the money just a great back pack size radio

I bought this radio to get back into amateur radio, I know I took a gamble but this radio is absolute trash. It’s not programmable nor does it transmit when manually programmed. I tried programming the radio, after it wrote to the radio, it turned the radio off and when it came back on, none of the buttons worked and the squelch was on continuously. It is an absolute piece of garbage!

I can't get away from the feeling that they all use the same firmware "One Size Fits All"?.The radio comes with a squelch setting @5. Dunno if it is 50% or what but it is factory set to 5. The specification sheet says the sensitivity is 0.25uV, however if the squelch opens at 1uV or whenever, the 0.25uV don't work this way. Until the squelch breaks, it will be deaf. So, I went and set it to 2, thought this would fix it. Now, when I key up the radios RX opens and at releasing the PTT (other radio) the squelch stays happily open. I had to raise the setting to 6 to mute white noise. Not good, at setting 2 you have non squelched white noise. A workaround maybe a RX PL tone? It will close the audio path, however another station will have to use a encode PL tone. It may work in my case.A further test allowed me to close the squelch, by using the PTT on the Anytone. Then it muted the audio path. I guess if you use the radio in Simplex, it probably will never occur or will it?I inquired with Anytone customer service to get a schematic diagram from them, that was a week ago.No response so far! I want to use it as an RX only in a repeater system. The schematic would be very helpful to find a spot to pick off discriminated audio for my external PL tone decoder. Perhaps, their would be a signal that I can use to tell a controller, Houston we have a PL tone.The project is resting at the moment until I get a response from Anytone.The radio itself has some receiver quirks, I haven't checked the transmit side, since it probably would never transmit.The good:It has the perfect size for my project.It is relatively inexpensive.It has features I am looking for.The bad:I have little hope to get a response from Anytone.I may have to butcher it on my own.

At first I didn't like it. But i been watching YouTube videos on how to set up reaper channels manually and it works good for it's size and price.. Had to unlock it to set it on GMRS, but price is great, scan setting is awesome as well.. talked 4 to 5 miles the other day with the cheap antenna of amazon but im more of a listener then ... would recommend to anyone

I love Anytone products, but the cable that is shipped with this unit is so old that there are no windows 10 or 11 drivers. I will have to buy or make a cable myself.
