Sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot my password. I would love any tips you can offer me.
This is great. I'm 7 minutes into it and have learned more than watching too many other videos. I now know I need a number for my radio and how to get it. Everyone else just said "put your number in". Thanks. I've "liked" and subscribed. KF9IV
Thank you sir for this video! Just bought the Anytone 878UV and have only one DMR repeater in the area. I thought I would use this as my main UHF/VHF and DMR radio! Got the radio and enrolled in the BridgeComU. Well it really seems to me that BridgeCom would have liked me to purchase the plug and play system. Well I wanted to try this out first before I invest in more hardware. After watching some of the videos they really don't start you out at step one and being a noob at this it was getting more confusing. Now your video has brought a lot to light. Thank you. I will proceed as follows..... DMR group repeater..... and Analog channels i'll set up my zones for different areas. Thank you again!
Great Video. I have to say this is the most straightforward video for building out your own code plug. Explained very well. You have a new subscriber as well. Thanks for sharing.
Great Video. I started out believing that I had to build a huge codeplug to get started but your video showed that you should start small and add as you need it. Thanks for the resource! 73 Dan KD7PMS
You're very welcome. That's part of why I put out some of these. I want folks to understand that ham radio is only as complicated as we make it. Thanks for watching and 73 de K5ATA
Pity that you don't show the left side of the CPS window. In the beginning I have NO CLUE in which part of the menu-structure you currently are. But your explanation is great!!!
@@K5ATA Thanks yeah I am finding that and unfortunately not all repeaters are very good at publishing their information. I did find in my area that the PAPA network of repeaters is very good at publishing that. Can't wait for the day the repeaters provide that information to repeater book.
Just received my anytone yesterday and trying to figure out how to get started. i downloaded a codeplug from bridgecom for my state, but i cant figure out how to upload it through the software. Do you have any videos on uploading codeplugs/getting started with the 878?
I have the anytone 868, just got it a day ago, I only see one zone on the handheld, can I add more zones using settings or I have to do it from the PC ?
I can not get the radio to talk to the computer. I plug in the cable and the computer does see it, but not the radio. If I plug in the cable alone I get USB com 3. I also get the same thing if the radio is attached. I tried several different combos radio on/off etc. but nothing seem to work. I tried several different cables and drivers but nothing seems to work. Keyboard is locked on the radio.
Question: I want to make space at the top of my channel list to add local channels. How do I do that? And if I do that, does the Zone list track with it or need I edit that, too: Thanks and 73 de W3TB Ted
Same as Ben Reeve. I got my Tech a couple weeks ago. Still haven’t tx’d anyone... this video has been very helpful. More so than Bridgecom, but I’m still confused by frequency offset entry for digital (and analog)..as to where it goes or if it even matters for digital. Sorry if that’s a dumb question, but I don’t know any HAM operators here due to the virus and the lockdowns, protests, etc. 73 HN6JVL
The offset will depend on the offset for the repeater you are using. For example, here in the US, the standard 2m repeater offset is .600 So, if the repeater transmits at 146.61 and it has a negative offset, I would set my radio to receive at 146.61 but to transmit at 146.01. If you are using a hotspot, it can be simplex and you have no offset. Does that help?
Thanks. I woke up this morning after being stressed about trying to get my 878 working, and realized it truly was a stupid question as the RX freq and RX freq is entered separately. Light bulb over head. Thank you for the quick response and not telling me I’m stupid. Haha. Thanks again for the video. 73
I have my radio for months. Program it over and over but can't get DMR to work. Repeater is listed as DMR so I program it in. It doesn't work. It is only a mile from me but I can't get it to work. Then I find out that there is more than one DMR! I don't know if the local repeater is DMR really D-Star, System Fusion, Brandmeister, or what ever! Am I programming something wrong, the repeater is not the type of DMR that I am set up for!
DMR is different than DSTAR and Fusion. You need to know what digital voice type the repeater is, then make sure you have the appropriate radio. If you want to give me the repeater info, I will check into it for you. 73 and thanks for watching!
I cant read it write to my radio. The com port is right. The cps version and firmware version match. I keep getting the same error. Check connection, retry. The cable is connected fine, because it writes to the radio fine when I do the firmware????
@@K5ATA Yes, but I've even downgraded and it wont read or write any code I try. It does write the firmware fine, just wont read or write when using a code. I've tried my pc and my laptop, uninstalled the driver and installed. I've also exported the code plug as a list and each as a cvs file and imported back to the cps and still will not write. I'm ordering a new cable but dont think that should change anything because it writes the firmware fine. Im at a loss
Is it the Anytone or the Btech? Basically the same radio, just trying to see what's up. Can you take a picture or video of the process where it gives the error and email it to me? I'd like to try to help figure this out.
Thanks for the great video maybe if you have time we can chat on BM TG 31655 I have a few more ?s your video is so much better than the many bridgecomm ones I tried to watch which gave me a migraine 73
And I thought DMR was state of the art radio. Seems like it very out dated programming. Why can't such a modern radio do this without programming. When we put in our digital id in the radio. It should be able to down load all this info. This is the 21st century not the 20th century.
I learned more from your video than 40 from Bridgecom. Thank you!
Wow! Thanks for that and thank you for watching! 73
My too, thank you sir!
Yeah, I'd be ticked off if I actually had to pay for the bridgecom videos.
Thanks! Some folks want to make much more out of a code plug than it really is. Thanks for watching!
Sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account?
I stupidly forgot my password. I would love any tips you can offer me.
Yours is about the only one on TH-cam that works and makes it easy to understand. THANKS
This was the best video on building a code plug from scratch I have found!
Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Go to radioid.net and sign up for your id. You will need to upload a copy of your license.
Very helpful, a complete codeplug session. Thank you so much.
Literally watched 10 videos before finding yours. Yours was by far the best so thanks for that!

Glad it helped! A lot of people want to overcomplicate the process. Thanks for watching, and for the sub! 73
Superior video! I am just getting back into DMR and this video makes creating a code plug über simple!
Thanks... it is not nearly as complicated as people would like you to think! Thanks for watching!
Grateful for the time that you put into this video, extremely helpful! 73
Thanks, and thanks for watching!
Awesome easy to understand.....Thanks 73.

Well done video bud.
Thanks! Thank you for watching!
Excellent! Thank you!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Pity that you don't show the left side of the CPS window. In the beginning I have NO CLUE in which part of the menu-structure you currently are. But your explanation is great!!!
I am able to see the left side when I watch it. What portion of the video are you referring to, and I'll check it out. Thanks for watching!
Great video but a basic question how do I find what slot the DMR repeater is on? repeater book lists the color code but not the time slot
It is pretty much up to the repeater owner. Thanks for watching!
@@K5ATA Thanks yeah I am finding that and unfortunately not all repeaters are very good at publishing their information. I did find in my area that the PAPA network of repeaters is very good at publishing that. Can't wait for the day the repeaters provide that information to repeater book.
I have a code plug and still can't get the anytone 878 uv plus II

Are you setting the com port before you attempt to read/write to/from the radio?
I have the anytone 868, just got it a day ago, I only see one zone on the handheld, can I add more zones using settings or I have to do it from the PC ?
I can not get the radio to talk to the computer. I plug in the cable and the computer does see it, but not the radio. If I plug in the cable alone I get USB com 3. I also get the same thing if the radio is attached. I tried several different combos radio on/off etc. but nothing seem to work. I tried several different cables and drivers but nothing seems to work. Keyboard is locked on the radio.
Hold down the menu key and hit the star key. That should unlock the keypad, then try it.
I did that many times. It does not work.
Question: I want to make space at the top of my channel list to add local channels.
How do I do that?
And if I do that, does the Zone list track with it or need I edit that, too:

are the firmware's inter-changeable from anytone to btech

Do I have to have my ham license in order to get this DMR ID?
Mike yes, you have to have your license first. Thanks for watching.
I have the radio id
Thanks for the great video
maybe if you have time we can chat on BM TG 31655 I have a few more ?s

@@clivewilkinson5394 yeah, radio programming is still way behind the times… even the big name brands have clunky interfaces. Thanks for watching.
