Is the Anytone a general coverage receiver? What are it's
frequency limitations and modes? It's mobile right? That means it
doesn't have a self contained battery supply. What are the
dimensions of the radio? I take it that it is a transceiver?
Thanks, Jim

BTW, when you finish the manual (where'd you find that,
anyway?), I'd be =
interested in seeing it. If we can work out something with the
menus, =
which probably wrap, it may still be worth a look. I can
already tell =
you the software looks like the TYT software, I think all the
Chinese =
radio companies use the same 12-year-old to write their
software.

Hi Colin,

Yeah, Ed says that Anytone is very receptive to feedback. How
that =

translate into accessibility remains to be seen, but yeah, $275

helluva price. Ed's going to the electronics fair, so I hope he
tells =

stuff upon his return.=3D20

nope, no speech on that particular anytone at588UV mobile.
I'm working on the manual for that radio; converting it to text

reformatting.
But fear not, it's still in the testing stage and from what Ed
at =3D
Import=3D20
communications says, the manufacturer is actually quite good at

version or later ones.
So, either the first release, or subsequent versions of the
anytone =3D=
mobile=3D20
might have voice output of one kind or another.
It's still a pretty good price for a dual band 50W mobile with a
=3D
removable=3D20
head and cross band repeat even without speech output.
BTW, it's not shipping yet, and likely won't be until the end of

October.
There is some big chinese electronics convention that is

first,=3D20
and then it'll be supposedly ready to ship in quantity.

I looked on importcommunications.com and see they're talking
about a
chineese mobile. Looks good, $275, dual band and all, but no =
mention =3D
if
it has speech. I think for the difference though, I'd stick
with my
Kenwood tmv-71a which I know talks very very well and is a good
rig. =

I
may order an ht from them just to have another toy.
