Here’s what Ed says by way of an update on the Anytone AT-3381UV. It’s not great news, I’m afraid, though all is not necessarily lost, if menus and settings can still be directly accessed. I don’t know whether they can or not, however.

> All one hundred Anytone radios sold the first day.  I was really surprised.  Unfortunately the five hundred on order will not ship until Mid February because of the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday.

> After getting the shipping out of the way, I've had time to play with the radio.  It does indeed work properly where CTCSS tones are involved.  It will ignore a signal without tones if tones are expected.

> Unfortunately there is no voice prompts at all, only beeps.  The "voice prompt" mentioned on page 37 in the manual should be named "beep prompt" as it only turns the beep sound on or off.
> 
> I will question them about this missing feature.  Maybe the voice resides in its own stop on the chip and can still be activated but I have my doubts.

> It is a nice little radio though.  Audio sound especially from FM radio is really good.
