Mini Size Dual Band Transceiver Mobile Radio VHF/UHF Two Way Radio AT-779UV for Car Vehicle Black

Late review, but the summary is that I like this radio so much I now own two. They got a lot of things right with this radio. It will do ham bands and can be opened up to cover other services easily using the manufacturer supplied radio. Unlike a lot of Chinese radios, this one has a very large number of channels you can program into it. From memory I think it is 500 channels. Scan speed is quicker than many radios, it will do split PL tones no problem. It has a REAL volume control knob! The display is clear and easy to read, but is a bit bright at night (yes, you can turn it down but it's still pretty bright). Signal reports are good. If I remember correctly (i tested this a while ago), VHF was ~ 20W out, UHF ~ 18 watts out. It's much easier to program from the computer, and thankfully they give you a programming cable for it. Software is not the greatest, but it isn't the worse either. I don't know if Chirp yet supports this radio - it did not when I bought mine in early 2022.

Love it! Works as expected. Easy to program with CHIRP! I use mine daily in my vehicle. I've had excellent audio reports. I DO recommend unlocking the radio to it's full potential!

This is actually a great radio and also Chirp programmable when using a Mac to program. The most important thing to remember make sure that when you set the radio for the band coverage you want to also make sure you match that in Chirp. Also the radio is really compact and can fit in tight places in a car or whatever vehicle you may drive.

Great little radio. Perfect for moving around. Comes with cig adapter already on it. Great for price.

This is THE PERFECT EASY TO INSTALL Mobile Ham Radio !! It comes prewired with 12V DC ....Cigarette lighter . Its a super small, light unit...very easy to program via Chirp.... Speaker is very good but I chose to add an external speaker because I had a great spot for one. Unit is a decent power. 25 watts which for myself is perfect as my two main Repeaters are under 6 miles away so FULLLL QUIETING. Only one caveat... unit doesnt have an internal fan so if you do any prolonged TX it tends to run hot...but that is easily rectified by locating it in an open area OR on the few occasions I abuse the Repeater 😆 🤣 I run the lower AC of the Car. THIS IS THE PERFECT GRAB & GO EASY TO INSTALL UNIT FOLKS...KE2HTB 73's

This was a perfectly small mobile radio for a Mazda MX3. at 18w on UHF and using a 1/4 wave magmount, it does the job I wanted it to do for the local repeaters in the county. Audio out on the built-in speaker is very loud and can easily hear when driving on the open highway. Microphone element works well and did the simple mod (youtube video shows how to do this) to the opening from inside the microphone housing, to allow a more clear voice to go directly to the mic element. A couple friends who have heard firsthand how this radio performs, have since bought one as well. 3M VHB tape might be more than adequate to hold this up with the radio mounting bracket, but I still used the two mounting screws with it.

Hey guys this is Red W5UW here in Oklahoma... Have to say that this is clearly a five star winner, the folks at Anytone put together a solid dual band VHF/UHF mobile. The AT-779UV works as advertised, and for this price $99.00 US you just can't beat it. So go ahead poke the buttons here and get one for yourself. 73's from W5UW

I bought this radio to get back into amateur radio, I know I took a gamble but this radio is absolute trash. It’s not programmable nor does it transmit when manually programmed. I tried programming the radio, after it wrote to the radio, it turned the radio off and when it came back on, none of the buttons worked and the squelch was on continuously. It is an absolute piece of garbage!
