I have no experience with them, but many claim that the Anytone AT-778 and its Retevis clone are CHIRP compatible. I suspect given the serial protocol problems listed on the CHIRP thread, the DB20-G may never be CHIRP compatible. I keep a library of different CodePlugs for various uses; most famously a GMRS Part 95 compatible one for when it has been "opened" Quote

It's the radio I have in my truck and I just can't seem to settle on a code plug. Quote

amaff Posted October 14 Report Posted October 14 Don't confuse the 778UV and the 779UV. This is a clone of the 779UV, which, near as I can tell, isn't on Chirp. WRXB215 1 Quote
WRXB215 Posted October 14 Report Posted October 14 @WRYS709 Sorry, no I don't have one (yet). I've been thinking about getting one for my wife's car, just haven't pulled the trigger yet. Too many other things have come up lately. WRYS709 1 Quote
WRYS709 Posted October 14 Report Posted October 14 What style programming cable does the 778 use? Also USB to RJ-45? Quote
WRXB215 Posted October 14 Report Posted October 14 @WRYS709 Yes, USB to RJ-45 just like what @amaff shows in the picture of the 779. Plugs right into the mic socket. SteveShannon 1 Quote

Interesting: did you have any problems installing the proper driver for Windows 11? Mac? Do you use CHIRP and the manufacturer's CPS software? Quote
WRXB215 Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 @WRYS709 I use Windows 10 and haven't had any driver issues. I had to use the CPS to set the frequency range but after that it has all been CHIRP. WRYS709 1 Quote
