Ham Radio and GMRS Radio tips

The popular Anytone AT-D878UV Plus radio is a great ham Analog & DMR radio, but understanding the radio's display screen for the first time can be very challenging. My ham friend and I found it to be confusing and overwhelming at first, and we wished that someone had a video to explain it. So we made this to help others in the same situation. This video explains the common display icons found on the Anytone 878 screen, and what they mean. It will help you to better understand and use the radio for the first time. The analog and digital DMR (Digital Mobile Radio) combination of features requires a new understanding of amateur radio operation—especially the DMR mode. Please leave comments or suggestions below so that I know other areas of interest I may want to address in a future video. 73.

Check out my review of this solar chargeable Go-Box. Infinite power in the field using a portable folding solar panel. I test and review the MITY GO-BOX 12 volt / 15 Amp Hour Lithium Iron Phosphate battery box. This box would be great for SOTA (Summits on The Air), POTA (Parks On The Air), or for a Bug-Out bag. It would be perfect for ARRL Field Day as it is off-grid power. The box I tested had a 15 Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate battery, but they offer several other Ah size boxes. It has a built-in solar panel charge controller, a self-contained 110v wall charger, two USB charging ports, an automotive 12v power source socket, a digital voltmeter, and uses Power Pole connectors, which are common on radio gear now. The folding solar panel fits easily in my go-bag. Get a 5% discount if you order. Use code: Raymazon
