![]() It defaults to a private ID, but you can hit the # key to switch it to a Group. If you hold the 0 button while on a digital channel the radio will prompt you for a Talk Group/contact number. Perhaps I'll slowly migrate everything from the google document into this post at some point. Some of these are documented in various places but are in terse release notes or random blogs/posts on the internet. Here are a few tips and workarounds I've found, they are more deeply explained in the document linked above on where to find them in the CPS or Radio but wanted to expose some of the ones I find the most useful here. There is also a 1.26 firmware which was made available a few days after 1.25 to correct "repeater access issues" and some other minor things, so the write-up on 1.25 is valid if you're curious about any major changes but of course, I suggest updating to the latest (as of this writing) 1.26. I did a write up on the 1.25 Firmware, it adds GPS Zone Roaming which is a really nice addition. I am currently running Firmware 1.26 and the matching CPS. Hope it's of use to someone, I know it will be to future me when I forget something ) I've documented a few things in the document linked above on this page, but will likely pull all of the information out eventually so it all lives in one place. ![]() It's not really a review, but I've written up a document that contains tips/tricks/workarounds. I've been taking some notes on the 878 that might be of interest to someone, who knows. However, I do not miss the 3318-E's quirks, such as being able to turn off all of the banks to scan while scanning and the radio freeze until you managed to turn it on and turn on a bank which was very tricky to get the timing right to do. The dual receive was pretty nice on the 3318-E. ![]() I replaced an Anytone 3318-E with this radio, effectively, and while it's a pretty decent replacement there are a few things I'm missing. ![]() And the II has a few interesting upgrades, but again, not worth the additional $90 at the time. ![]() The Bluetooth module sounds somewhat interesting to monitor traffic using a Bluetooth earpiece but wasn't worth the additional $50 for me. Not the Plus, not the II, just the AT-878UV with GPS. Like seemingly every ham, I now own an Anytone 878UV. ![]()
