Anytone ATD878UVII Plus Analog and Digital APRS Setup and Demonstration

[@wilsonruizv]

This was a really good video. I just got started with DMR with the same radio. Love it. But there is so much information there, it is insane. Thank you.

[@simplyhamradio8286]

Thanks, I hope it wasnt too much, Im good on QRZ ~ AA1PR if I can answer any ?s you might have

[@Jammi2020]

Danke für das Video 📡

I want your beeps....how do I set my radio like that?

[@simplyhamradio8286]

I have a video on that setup here kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3emhGmdhcZgnbs enjoy 73

A quick note for consideration for those of you looking to use AT options for tri band, especially if your dmr group requires expanded frequency range for the codeplug. The at options from my experience will flash an Anytone 878UVII image (not plus) and lose the ability to utilize APRS Analog Recieve. Just wanted to forewarn others this may be a possibility.

Cool, I have no interest in modding mine ever

I don't think you need to set up a special analog channel for APRS. All you need to do is set-up the Analog Transmission Frequency on the APRS set-up in the CPS. Turn your APRS on in the radio by selecting the Upload Type. Then select the trigger, PTT either Tx start or Tx end. Then, no matter what digital or analog channel you are on the beacon will go out. The digital APRS works the same way, except you have to set-up the digital report channel in the APRS section of the CPS.

how can it send an aprs signal via DMR (digital) ? the only way it can do that is if you are using TG310999 into your MMDVM set to what ever freq it might be so for analog aprs yes it has to be set

[@N4EJM]

I cannot find TG 310999 or TG 99 on the BM TG list. Do you have a link to where I could find these. I don’t see them on DMR+(DMR-MARC).

[@simplyhamradio8286]

310999 I think is on aprs.org and not sure why 99 isnt there on brandmesiter

[@echo-hotel]

You didn't cover the 310999 channel

[@simplyhamradio8286]

sorry, that talkgroup is to send your digital aprs report over the internet to others

I'm the 21st centaury. Why are we having to do this software stuff. Modern devices do it for you. Why all the code plug crap. The radio should be able to do it automatically.

[@simplyhamradio8286]

One can wish, but the eproms/memory needed for it to automatically add repeaters would be too much, most rpt systems like the NEDECN has changed timeslots on different machines for no apparent reason, the stupidity of all that would never be feasible

Please remove the background and protected sticker. Other than that the info is excellent. Thanks.
