    Did you sign it the "The World Famous Moleculo" so they're aware that the entire Ham community is awaiting an example of their customer service, and that this could make or break them? :pop: Just sayin'...

    Crossbanding radios

    Actually the 2820 doesn't come with D-Star. The nasty $670 price tag doesn't include D-Star or GPS. That will cost you another $300ish. The squelch tail on a 2820 will make haters of your friends when you run it in remote or crossband configurations. Ugly... It also won't do a 2m/70cm...

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    Just to be clear, ANY of the dual band mobile radios mentioned in this thread will do what you want to do. That's simply crossband repeat. The ONLY time that you would use the dual band odd splits in the mobile (as mentioned from the Hawaii guy) is of you're trying to work TWO repeaters on your...

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    That is correct... I didn't try it or the Yaesu because they're both in installations that don't allow for easy computer programming. You'll find that odd splits can be a PIA to program through the radio's face, so I just stuck to the two that I had with easy computer programming access. It...

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    Not happening with my Icom 2820. Set up per his instructions, setting the mobile (xbander) up @ 446.200rx & 147.620tx, etc, etc, etc... the radio took the programming, but doesn't transmit on 147.620. It transmits on 446.2 Oddly enough, I tried programming the same odd split into the Wouxun...

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    It was too long of a read since I'm cheating from work here...lol I get the basics of what he's doing and I suppose if his radio with do a dual band "odd splits" it would work just fine. I currently have three radios that crossband (IC-2880, FT-8800, TMV71-A) and I'm honesty not sure if any of...

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    Even using it as a remote the radio is in crossband mode, thus tying up both VFO's. The radio doesn't have "remote" and "crossband" modes, only crossband. The difference between the two is how you program it. Crossbanding involves it being set up to receive your repeater's output frequency...

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    No, if you're in remote or crossband mode, you'll be tying up both of the radio's VFO's to work a single repeater.

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    Yes, it will run as a crossband or remote repeater. 440 to 2m or 2m to 440 no problem, but it WON'T do 2m to 2m or 440 to 440... Can you hear the repeater okay on the HT, or do you need this radio to pick up the repeater and re-send it to your HT? It can be set up either way if you also...
