I don't know enough about radios to notice any bugs. I listen to group talk sometimes on Sunday nights but don't talk. I do use it at work though and haven't had any problems.

I have been playing with the AT-D878UV Plus.

I have some 505's as well, used mostly for camping for the kids to use. I like having a screen to look at so I use other radios.

Ah! I see what your saying in regards to Part 90. Strange that the HD1 is FPP yet still has a Part 90 certification. I haven't seen anything in the cps to disable fpp. Wouldn't want HD to get into trouble for using a non compliant radio. I guess I will just use the crappy radios they have.

Your spot on about the system and the company. The HD1 is part 90 certified by the FCC, it's certification can be found here. My understanding is part 97 is Amateur/HAM radio, Part 90 is for commercial/business and Part 95 is for FRS/GMRS. If I understand that correctly, the HD1 can be used for commercial/business use. We use 467.7625 as well and DPL 065 is what I got off of radio reference and seems to work except for that delay in the first phone receiving my transmission. The DPL's listed on radio reference are 065 for 467.7625, 331 for 467.8500, 263 for 467.8375, 413 for 467.8750 and 466 for 467.9000. All the freqs listed are all that HD is licensed to use. I pick up that annoying "Attention Associates- New Order" and a few others. Just trying to get that delay worked out.

I will try using my D878UV and see if I have the same issue. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the patience and the help. As someone who is not radio savvy, how would I do that?

I got the freqs from the fcc website and the DPL tones off of radio reference since management had no clue what I was talking about when I mentioned freqs and DPL's. If the DPL was off or wrong wouldn't my radio's squelch not open up? If my radio is not a valid user would I still be able to receive transmissions from the smart devices or even the company radios since they all use the same gateway? If it doesn't recognize my radio I shouldn't be able to transmit at all to the smart device correct?

The company radios do not have this issue. I am not sure what constitutes a cheap Chinese radio, I paid about $189 for the HD1, which is a lot for me and never had an issue reaching a repeater or radio until now. My supervisor and managers had no issue with it, however, I had to go back to using a company radio while trying to figure this issue out.

I do have a AT AT-D878UV I could try. I did notice that the bandwidth on the HD1 was set at 25. I changed it to 12.5. I have carried issued radios in a previous job but when it comes to the the behind the scenes operations of radios I am pretty clueless. Hopefully I can get this issue figured out since the work radios are junk and I am allowed to carry my own if I can get the issue fixed.

If that is the case, what would be the solution? I am using the the correct DPL.

I have no idea, not being radio savvy I had to look up MDC 1200. I didn't see anything in the specs for the radios that mention MDC 1200.

The company radios work fine with no delays. Could it be a power issue, I have it set on low (1 watt)? I am not sure what transmission power level the company radios are transmitting at.

I am using an Ailunce HD1. My employer is using UHF frequencies and DPL's.

The small radios are from Advanced Wireless Communications and is either their AWR Advantage or AWR Advantage Plus model. Funny, this delay does not happen when using the Advanced Wireless radios. The smart device is the Zebra Industries TC77. As for the app used, I would have to look and see if it shows it.

I have a question and would like to see if anyone has any answers or suggestions. My work uses these tiny little hand held radios, the volume sucks and I have a hard time hearing it in noisy environments. Some employees use a smart phone like device that has a walkie talkie feature that will transmit to the little radios and receive from them as well. With permission I started using my own radio. Had the freqs and correct privacy tones programmed into it. The problem is with the smart phone type device. I can receive transmissions from this device instantly, however, when I transmit, I have to key the mic between 6-10 seconds before the smart phone type device will open up and someone can here me. It does not do that with the little radios and I do not have that problem talking with the little hand held radios. Anyone have an idea what the problem might be and how to fix it? Thanks! Respectfully, D

I have been using a Ailunce HD1 and although I am no ham or radio expert, I have had no issues so far with the radio and it's waterproof.

Thanks for the info!

I am a total radio newb and my only limited experience in programming radios is my Tera radios and my HD1. Bluetooth programming would be cool. What do you mean dial home and the ransomware? If I were to get a 7550e and had to sign up with motorola to purchase a cps subscription, wouldn't I be stuck with the latest firmware and cps? Perhaps, I should look at other companies like Kenwood, Icom or Yaesu.

Can you explain to me why I wouldn't want to go higher than 2.09 (I am assuming that is the firmware) or the newer CPS?

Thanks for the reply. I have also been looking at the 7550e. It's my understanding that you have to pay motorola for updated firmware and CPS subscription, is this correct? What do you think of Kenwood radios, such as the NX-5300?

Anyone have any experience with this radio or Hytera radio's in general? I am considering buying one and would welcome opinions. Respectfully, lrdchivalry

How much does the 7550e's run? I haven't been able to find a price, I even tried looking for it on Motorola's website.

Good to know. I would like a radio I can see the freq I am using or at least a screen I can look at.

Thanks for the info, I need to keep the Part certifications in mind.
