AT-D578 UV II PLUS
The Anytone AT-D578UV-PLUS is a true TWIN band radio for digital DMR radio systems, compatible with MOTOTRBO Tier 1 and 2. Traditional FM is of course also supported. Unlike many other DMR radios, the AT-D578UV offers true VFO operation, making it much better suited for amateur radio. Here you can adjust frequency and other parameters as you are used to from traditional radios, instead of only using pre-programmed memories. Of course, the AT-D578U also offers plenty of memories: 4000 to be exact. But you are not limited to those memory channels. Another difference compared to other DMR radios is the ability to change most (unfortunately not all) transceiver parameters. This is useful as you don't need to connect a computer for every minute setting change. However, to truly access and change all settings, the CPS programming software and a PC are still required.
The new AT-D58UV is not just a “D878UV handheld radio with more power” in a mobile case. In addition to well-known features such as APRS in FM (tx wise) and digital roaming and the new Bluetooth option, the AT-D578UV-Plus now offers the ability to simultaneously receive a DMR and an analog channel, a true dual radio. Of course, you can also receive two analog channels simultaneously. For easy setup, each of the two bands has its own volume control, which are assigned to one VFO each.
Transmit power can be set to four levels, max. power is 50 Watts on 2m VHF and 45 W on UHF 70 cm.
The further range of functions of the D578UV is very extensive. Up to 4000 different channels can be stored (also digital and analog, also mixed); 10000 talk groups can be configured, and the memory can hold up to 200,000 digital contacts. Thus, the complete worldwide DMR user database can be stored in the device. In analog mode, functions such as DTMF, CTCSS and DCS are supported in addition to encoding with two-tone and 5-tone signals. A 1750 Hz tone burst is also available. A total of 10 buttons on the radio and microphone can be assigned to individual functions, allowing users to set their personal preferences. The brightness of the 1.77” color display and the backlit keys on the unit and microphone can be adjusted in several steps, thus ensuring ideal readability even in sunlight and glare-free operation when driving in the dark.
The roaming function of the AT-D578UV is independent of the device's location. During roaming, the system checks whether a repeater is reachable from a predefined list and automatically sets it if necessary. The trigger for roaming can be a manual start or the information that the set repeater is not (no longer) reachable. Roaming channels can be divided into zones, similar to conventional channels, which correspond, for example, to geographical regions.
Another feature to highlight is the possibility to store different DMR IDs. So it would be conceivable to use the device both in a professional business radio environment and later with a different ID in amateur radio. Or several family members share a device. The Anytone AT-D578UV is equipped with a GPS receiver, position data can be transmitted by radio (DMR-APRS and FM-APRS). The device also has a connector for an external GPS antenna. The AT-D578UV is a TWINband device for 2m (VHF) and 70cm (UHF), on both bands it is possible to work in analog FM or digital DMR. An WFM receiver for the FM broadcast band is also available. The antenna connection is a PL socket. The programming cable (USB / Micro-USB) is included in the delivery; the latest programming software and firmware are available free of charge by clicking below.
