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 2614

This week, we've gathered some practical insights for the workbench and the field. There’s a good piece on adapting common 75-ohm TV components for our 50-ohm systems, something that comes up often when scrounging parts. We also have a solid guide for portable power considerations, which is always relevant for those heading out for POTA or field day. For the theory buffs, a refresher on the Smith Chart's utility beyond just matching networks is included. Mobile operators will find a discussion on optimizing vehicle installations, particularly regarding ground planes. And for the experimenters, a look at the Si5351a frequency synthesizer and its potential for stable signal generation. Finally, a club spotlight for those keen on chasing DX awards.
