With that Zone selected, I could scan across all those analogue repeaters for activity, which was quite interesting.Īctually, my first test was on DMR with my local hotspot, to check that I could receive a known DMR transmission. So, in my case, I was able to find all the analogue repeaters in the south-west region in one ‘Zone’ within the codeplug. Both Analogue and Digital (DMR) repeaters are included, organised in regions. The codeplug supplied by Moonraker is comprehensive and easy to use. I suspect that this is mostly down to the large battery, which seemed to last for ever, particularly when using the rig with a hotspot or just for listening. Physically, the rig is comfortable in the hand and has a positive weight to it, without being heavy. The keyboard has a good positive feel to it and the menu was easy to navigate without having to reach for any instruction manuals. The screen is good and clear and is visible even in the bright sunshine that we have become accustomed to this summer. The feel of the rig, in terms of the display and menu items, is very similar to the Hytera models, which to me is a very positive thing. I switched on the radio and it quickly came up and had already been programmed at Moonraker with my DMR ID.

Having said that, the manual is well put together and describes the basic (non-codeplug) functionality clearly and accurately.

There’s an instruction manual too but as ever with DMR type rigs, it’s of limited value because so much of the rig’s functionality is defined by the codeplug (the configuration of the rig, which is software driven or defined). Included in the package are the antenna, battery, charger and AC adaptor, belt clip and a USB programming cable. Supplied with a 3100mAh battery the radio will give a good working day’s performance”. This enables Moonraker to supply it preprogrammed with all UK DMR and analogue VHF/UHF repeaters. Offering a total of 4,000 channels (Analogue and Digital), 10,000 Digital Talk Groups and up to 150,000 contacts, as well as multiple DMR ID numbers (Radio IDs) for a single radio. The Moonraker publicity says, “The AnyTone D868UV radio is a VHF and UHF radio with both Digital DMR (Tier I and II) and Analogue capabilities. When Chris Taylor of Moonraker kindly offered us one to try, I was keen to see if it lived up to the billing. However, both on air and online, I’d become aware of the reputation of the Anytone AT-D868UV as a DMR dual-bander that ‘just worked’. Although I have enjoyed using all of these, it’s fair to say that many of them have had their quirks, some more noticeable than others.

There’s been a series of these dual-band radios at a variety of price points. As I had the chance to use a dual-band model, though, I realised this was not the whole story and there was great value in having a rig that would do DMR and FM on both bands, 2m and 70cm, so that I could use the analogue simplex and repeater channels all from the same radio. Initially, I couldn’t really see why we needed dual-band models, when, after all, 99% of DMR activity on either repeaters or hotspots is on the 70cm band. The first iteration of DMR radios was generally single-band but since the middle of last year, there have been a number of dual-band radios coming onto the market at accessible prices. If you read PW on a regular basis, you may be forgiven for thinking ‘not another DMR handheld’! Indeed, I was listening on the air this morning to a conversation about the seemingly never-ending stream of new DMR handheld radios emerging from the Chinese manufacturers. I try to fix issues or add new requests about once a month.Yet another DMR handheld? Tim Kirby G4VXE looks at a dual-band DMR that has some novel features. I will add the issue or request to the story tracker. If you find any issues with the Codeplugs / Configurations above or would like something added, please send an email to mike (at).
