Never mind. I didn't have the mic plugged in when I tried to get into test mode. Works fine now. Ch 43 was already in mode 2.

I just bought one of these from Amazon. I thought I ordered what I would call the version 1 778UV but they sent me a 778UV-II instead (Ok they saved me $5). When I tried to access the test mode by "pwr down, hold func+F4 and power up/Enables CH39 to 43 to be selected" trick all I got was a blank white screen. The weird thing is it seems to already be unlocked. It can transmit the full 136-174mhz, 400-490mhz. I'm not complaining since I have both a HAM and GMRS licenses and enough sense not to stray out of those bands (I also have a AR-5RM). I just thought it was strange that it was sent to me already unlocked with no mention in the description.

Thanks! It looks like I got a couple of real ones.

I have two questions here. How can one tell if they have a "genuine" Nagoya and where is a safe place to buy one? To the OP, I just got my AR-5RM yesterday and love it!

Hmmm, I wonder what kind of response I would get if I said "recovering HAM"? (W4GSK)

Oh, I should fit right in then! Hi, I'm Gary and I'm a recovering CBer!
