    Crossbanding radios

    Do you know if the Wouxun 920P will do the 2M/70CM split that I'm after? That HI guy's concept is really intriguing to me.

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    Can you break that down for me again please? Side A: Tx on 2M Rx on 440 Side B: Tx on 440 Rx on 2M End result was a Tx on 2m and received on 440? So the HI situation can not be duplicated by the Anytone? Do I have that correct?

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    Are you saying these radios mentioned here can do the HI guy concept? OR simple crossband? I'll check out the Scrap repeater and see if I can hit it

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    Good points. For me though, I think I would use this feature a lot as I take my dog for walks, and don't want to be cooped up in my room all day on my radio..I want the power of 50W and the mobility of a HT, this feature seems to give me that. I'll have to try the 449.500 repeater, and see...

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    OK, so you are saying the UV3D can use channel A in at 147.62 and out on 4446.2, with Channel B being something else completely correct? I assume the Wouxun 920P would do the same. Does the Kenwood you bought do it? Amazed the Icom can not, as I thought Icom was a better brand. I agree...

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    I would appreciate anything you would be willing to do. Is the Wouxung the 920P model? How do you like it? Better than the Alinco or worse? From what I have been able to read, the Alinco is a cross between a Yaesu and a Wouxun, while the Wouxun is stright Wouxun troubles...I've got a UV3D...

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    Scrap, did you read the PDF I posted? That guy in HI seems to be able to do two channels, does he have some really expensive mobile radio or what? Seems like there are no mobile rigs which can do what he is talking about...

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    That makes a lot of sense...thanks, I think I finally understand it now. So working it remote its really only good for one freq...hmmmmm might have to think about getting one now..

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    How come here: Amazon.com: AnyTone Dual Band Transceiver VHF/UHF AT-5888UV Two Way and Amateur Radio: Electronics It says this: True automatic cross band repeater mode, Twin simultaneous Receive, w/seperate Vol & Squelch controls!

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    Did you read the PDF, Page 1, second column about the mobile needing to program a non standard repeater split...can the Anytone do this? If so HT range extension on two seperate freqs should work no?

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    But it seems to me you should be able to swap freqs on the HT, say 448.101 and 448.102. The Anytone could listen to 101 and 102, and repeat two different channels.. What is in band repeat? You mean you have to go 440 to 2m and vice versa?

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    Ya, I know about that, but it looks cumbersome and not easy to do on the fly...plus the price is about $100 more for just that feature...

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    I can't believe they only allow one band repeat..seems like an easy feature to add....oh well, maybe in the next round. No unused radios, but I'll look into the Radiotone repeater..

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    Or start a new topic. Obviously I can't afford two of these radios, and you are saying with only one radio, I can only listen to one freq at a time without changing it at the Anyton station?

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    If I am in remote mode though, won't I only be tying up one side of the Anytone, thus I could actually listen to two freqs from the anytone, or does it take both sides of the Anytone to crossband? I figured I could crossband with both sides of the Anytone, but I guess not when I think about...

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    I have a 2M / 440 HT, Wouxung KG-UV3D. I can hear the repeaters fine with my HT, so I think I am looking at the "remote" aspect of the anytone. From what I understand, using the 2M in and out on the HT causes legal issues with ID squacking... One of the repeaters people have a hard time...

    AnyTone AT-5888UV VHF/UHF Mobile Review

    Is it possible to use this as a "Range Extender" for a HT? I want to have it receive on a 440 freq and transmit that either to a 440 or a 2M freq. I will be monitoring the local repeater freq on my HT as I walk around my yard. Looks and sounds like a solid machine..might just fit the bill.

    Crossbanding radios

    So, after extensive research I have discovered what I really want to do is walk around my neighborhood on my HT. I normally only monitor two freqs right now with my radio, so all I want to do is extend the power of my HT to hit the two freqs that have trouble hearing me. Basically, this, I...

    Alinco DR-635T In Home Use

    Ya, I do, I had just never seen that designation before, when I got my Wouxun I got it two days after my liscense, was still confused by all the terms. I got it figured out about 0130 this morning...but thanks for clarifying that for me :)

    Alinco DR-635T In Home Use

    Also, another question I see on radios like my Wouxun that there is a V and a U with frequencies...what does that mean? The Alinco can apparently do V/V, V/U, U/V, U/U ..whatever that means... Help and an explanation is appreciated...
