Hi Ray, bought that same Anytone last week for 2m/70cm and really impressed with it, quite easy to programme without using software which was a bonus for a Luddite like me 😅 73 Franco
There is also a way to scan for codes with the anytone 878 uv2. You have to map a function to a key (CDT scan) in the setup menu so you can scan by pressing a key. Maybe useful for some people.
Hi Ray, interesting video. You will need to get these guys talking to recite the entire White Pages phone book, which should keep them on air long enough to scan their frequencies for sure!! LOL. Incidentally, are these transmissions actually digital or analogue? Many years ago, I used to be able to hear the local McDonalds transmitting around 35 MHz on the scanner. tjhey mostly broadcasted people putting in orders for food. Not really something to listen to on an empty stomach. Anyway, take care. Rob in Melbourne Australia.
Believe it or not, VK3RTV Melbourne runs a DTV channel around 446.500 MHz as far as I know, though I haven't caught any transmissions from them for quite a while now. They actually had two transmissions labeled as VK3RTV1 and VK3RTV2.
Really appreciate your clarity on this, Ray. Thank you for being a great teacher !
Hi Ray I have just started my journey to my foundation license and really enjoying your videos.
Many thanks Mike
Thanks Mike, it's great to hear from you. Glad you're finding the videos useful. Cheers, Ray.

The transmissions are analogue. There are a lot of comms on 446 around here.
