Thread resurrection.. Does anyone know or have a bulletin in adding a cooling fan in this radio? Anytone AT-778UV Thanks, -
I only tried it one time in this radio. But I have a hunch after several tries in the handheld, it is possible that what you're saying is true. I'l going drop the laird magnamount antenna in my car and try it again. That antenna transmits and receives very far especially where I live which is high elevation. and see if I can get it to ping. BTW: Does anyone know or have a bulletin in adding a cooling fan in this radio? Anytone AT-778UV

I tried it before in manual, I couldn't get it right. I'll try the software and see. Thanks!

Thank you for the follow-up. You have a very strong signal in Sherwood-Newberg. I was monitoring a few months ago on a hand held. I'll probably setup my small base station so I could connect better. I bought a J-pole last year. It seems alot easier and friendlier to install than my old CB antenna. I'm gonna try to install it this coming days. I havent really use the GMRS alot. I'm practically new to the radio. But this radio will surely come in handy in case of emergencies.. -
what is the correct and easier way on the Anytone AT-778UV to connect on repeater. Thanks,,,,

Could you adopt a mic on lets say the Alinco DR-135T without or lesser controller feature on the stock mic itself? -

If President Radio comes out with GMRS, more likely I'll get one. -

best ⅝ wave GMRS high gain NMO antenna
WRZM228 replied to CyborgAlienWRYG738's question in Technical Discussion
The only thing I havent proven on this radio is what kind of heat does it do and a mid summer. Most of the radios I have and had, its either has a built in cooling fan or retro fitted. I notice it was beginning to heat up after 30 minutes of communication. which is actually not bad. But the summer is the real test! Yes I saw there are lots of cb users in your area. This guy really blew my mind. Pretty sure you might know him... -

I live in a 725 ft elevation. Its a good height the the bad news is just a hill side which there are certain part which are blocked. I check my mobile radio and it was only putting out 23 watts in the targeted GMRS frequency. Just like what you said. it has to be a constant 13.8v and good amperage to achieve the high capacity transmission. I also notice that the anytone has a very quiet receiving mode. I'm not really talking about squelch but the RF gain itself is nice and clean plus the speaker has an excellent clear and warm audio like how the auxiliary speakers are. Its very easy to communicate even on a lower speaker volume. I'm just curious,, where is your '20? Edited: Okay I got it now and youre in the right side of mid west. -

That looks like a good setup. I saw the 49 inch cb whip antenna. Its a very good height for CB. I already have magnetic mount on my mobile. I just came back from the road. I was talking to my wife using my mobile radio and antenna while she was using a hand held at home inside the room. Its very clear! The Evergreen museum is 17.2 miles from my house. But if I use the same hand held she has, the farthest Ive tried it was 3 miles. I dont know how far can my mobile go to my home base yet. But from the home base, I can go really far without even using the repeater. I'll just pop in the Wilson magnamount if I need to. I made a mistake in the description earlier. I was using the anytone in the mobile. Cant believe that radio can communicate that well in such distance. -

Ooops. I'm using the old school analog meter. Pretty much I'm done with the antenna setup. But the meter is still hooked up as I'm using it with a switch box so I can see the modulation swing. Both base antenna and the and mobile is phenomenal. I can easily hit Corvallis straight from base. I love this radio. Its got 2 simultaneous-separate, volume, transmit and receive indicator, squelch and RF Gain adjustments all in analog analog form. Even the transmit and receive is much clearer than my other mobile radio. The only thing that I don't like about home base is going to the roof of my house. Its not like 35 years ago. It will look ridiculous for someone in my age messing around with antennas especially if my neighbors see me doing it. Its a good thing that I only had the antenna sitting on a 10 footer mast. -

Its a transfer antenna for camping. It should be good for high elevation. -

100 bucks for the Wilson 1000 with magnamount 37 bucks for the Tram Cat Twin Coil CB Antenna (TCT-9) they shipped both free. I couldn't pass it up. That 1000 should work perfect on the Prius grocery getter. BTW: I been dreaming about this tram twin coil antenna since when I was young. Its 64 inch tall. All I need is to screw this on my pickup truck because its all set up with an excellent mounting. -

Okay. They have a both Wilsons that's about 35 miles from me. I need this antenna for my travel so I'll take the time to drive there and pick up one. -

Going back to our last conversation in the cb antenna. I need to fetch me a magnamount today. So do you think I should just go with the Wilson 1000 rather than the K40? Thanks. -

You're not even a part of this and as I remember. You barge in to one of my previous comment and telling me to use the repeater openly with no need for permission needed. But that wasn't the case. To begin with, that wasn't even what I was talking about and secondly, I wont even tell anyone "forcefully" what to do unless I was asked. I understand those things even my conversation with your friend. And I already answered his questions. If there was anyone being insulted, I didn't ask for it. They did it to themselves. You are biased and I see this om this forum. When there is a situation, you and your buddy are always in the middle of it. I consider that normal and I wont be a part of it. Its plain and simple to ignore someone. That's what I would do. Because the last thing I want to do is to create a friction with anyone. Thread easy! -
