Anytone AT-778UV FM Dual Band Transceiver

The Anytone AT-778UV is a popular dual-band FM transceiver known for its affordability and solid features. Operating on VHF (144-148 MHz) and UHF (440-450 MHz) bands, it offers selectable power outputs of 25W, 15W, or 5W. Its bright 180-degree TFT LCD display and intuitive interface enhance usability in various settings. While it delivers good audio quality and a robust build, it lacks a dedicated volume knob and may heat up during extended use. Overall, it's an excellent entry-level choice for amateur radio enthusiasts.

Weekly Report

Top Amateur Radio Websites – Issue 2630

This week, we've gathered a few items that touch on everything from optimizing your award tracking to some interesting antenna builds. For those of us who spend time chasing DX, understanding where you stand with LoTW credits is always something that comes up, and we found a handy tool for that. Then there's a look at a 40-meter horizontal loop, a classic design that still performs well, especially for portable work. We also have a piece on a specialized receive antenna for VLF to HF, which could be useful for those dealing with local noise issues. And for the experimenters, a LoRa APRS iGate project, a practical application of LoRa technology that's gaining traction. Finally, a cloud-based suite of logging and propagation tools rounds out the selection, offering some modern conveniences for managing your station.
