Ham Radio Transceivers

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.

Top Amateur Radio Websites – Issue 2626

This week, we're looking at some practical considerations for getting signals out and hearing them clearly. We’ve got a piece on building a multi-band wire antenna, something that comes up often for those needing flexibility without a lot of real estate. Then there's a deep dive into ground systems for verticals, which is always worth revisiting, especially for portable or mobile setups where a good ground can make all the difference. For those dealing with local QRM, we've included a look at a specific noise blanker, and for the digital mode enthusiasts, there's a resource on Olivia, a robust mode for challenging HF conditions. Finally, we touch on auto-tuners with portable HF antennas, comparing performance with different vertical lengths, a common dilemma for field operators. And for the satellite crowd, some tracking software to keep those passes productive.
