Anytone AT-779UV PC Programming Tutorial 

This is the hardest radio ever to program. Most others can be done manually. The program is counter intuitive. Chirp needs to offer support for this radio

Would love to see how you do this via either the microphone or front panel, especially how to manually program the transmit frequency. Thanks!

Decent little radio: one that seems like one could live very well on a daily basis. Good stuff! 73 de N2NLQ

A nice little radio. Hits repeaters well and I have had great reports on signal strength and audio too. Is it possible to amend the .dat file to have the regularly used repeaters and frequencies? Or is it a case of saving the original for safety and then saving another file that can be edited to what is required? Cheers

Thanks for the video. Easy to understand and well presented. I have programmed all of the simplex channel but am at a loss on how to program the duplex channels. I know the TX freq but the RX freq is apparentlty .75khz higher. As you said, the vid is pretty generic and worked fine with my AT-778UV.

I'm new to all this, but why is there no offset input when programming in the factory program?

Good video. although when I try to save the sheet. I cant recall it Any ideas please Thanks

How to name a program from the microphone and save it?

I have one of these radios that I’m trying to program for a mate, I get everything setup fine, and the radio goes into clone mode but fails to read any ideas.

Where can I buy a cable capable of connecting to this radio with 1.0 firmware version?

My lab top does have three ports and it’s not reading it or uploading the channels that I want for my radio

i have a question and need little help. FIRSTLY i will say GREAT video to program!!! Second, I have downloaded the "Newest" software (AT779UV_Setup_2.01) directly from Anytone Its all installed correctly The port on the front on the computer is 3 The drop down on the programming software (communication setting) ONLY has COM 1 I have uninstalled and reinstalled ANY IDEA?? Thanks in advance!!!

We can't communicate with the repeater for receiving and transmitting. What settings are used to communicate with the repeater. Frequencies, encode and decode were set at the station

Nice job.

questions, what squelch mode; Carrier or CTCSS/DCS, and Reverse for repeaters?

Could anyone please tell me, how many memories per second (roughly) can this radio scan? Thanks.

Anyone know how to save a channel name via mic or front panel, I can enter the characters but cannot work out how to save? Display is set to name.

I just got one of these but I'm struggling. Does anyone know how to enter Offset - + via software ?.

what dose the optional signal do

I'm a new ham operator (in the US) and due to the confusing description on Amazon I purchased this radio thinking it was an amateur, not GMRS, radio. **The US version of this radio is GMRS only!** I only discovered this after downloading the software and attempting to program the radio (which takes forever). I got this exact message on the screen..."Frequencys is wrong!". It's going back to Amazon. Yet another lesson learned.

How i can cancel the memory on the software?

I have a fully programmed Anytone at779 uv and wonder if anyone knows if I can copy the programmed channels to my CRT Micron.

Hello, how could I configure my station to be able to operate with a repeater. I have correct subtones and frequency, I can transmit but I do not receive through the repeater. greetings thanks

Can you program this radio directly without a PC, or from a MacBook, iPhone or Android phone?

How to save alphanumeric display without using the software?

I can't get anything done. The program wants a "program password" and the idiots at Anytone WONT anaswer my emails asking for a password!

Some Operational Tips: Open up the Ham 2 meter and 70 cm bands to transmit on the USA version: 1) Turn off the power. 2) While holding down the V/M button, turn on the power. Use the Up and Down arrow keys to change from the GMRS setting on the display to 136-174 MHz; 400-470 MHz and now power down. 3) When you power back up licensed operators can now transmit on the GMRS channels and the 2 meter and 70 cm Ham bands. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Giving a Channel an alphanumeric name without using a computer: 1) Go to the appropriate Channel 2) Push the FUN button and using the V/M and MAIN buttons to go through the Menu items until you reach Function 29: DSPCHANNEL and using the Up and Down arrow buttons, select NAME. Push the FUN button to exit the Function menu. 3) Push the FUN button and using the V/M and MAIN buttons to go through the Menu items until you reach Function 12: CHANNEL NAME. Using the Up and Down Arrow buttons, scroll through the list of 1-0, A-Z and a-z to find the first letter. When you do find it, push the MON button to confirm that character and move to the 2nd position. Repeat as necessary until up to 8 characters are entered. 4) Push A-FUN on the mic and release and "func" should appear on the upper left of the display; and then hold down *-MON to save the new name. 5) When finished push the FUN button to exit the Function Mode. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Programming a repeater channel without using a computer: 1) Switch to VFO mode (from Channel Mode) using the V/M key 2) Using the number keys on the mic, enter the repeater's output frequency 3) On the mic, push FUN then 9 repeatedly until the proper split (+ or - or blank for Off) appears above the frequency. 4) Press the FUN key on the Radio and use the V/M and Main keys as an up/down to get to function 10:Offset. Use the Up and Down arrow keys to set your offset split, such as 5.00000MHz or 0.60000MHz (you can hold down the Up or Down key to have it continuously change). Once you get to the proper offset, push the FUN key again. 5) Press the FUN key on the Radio and go to Function 01:T-CDC and use the Up and Down keys to find the proper transmit PL Tone. Use the same method to optionally set the proper receive PL Tone, if necessary, on Function 02:R-CDC (or Function 03: RT-CDC if both tones are the same) 6) You can rotate through High, Medium and Low transmit power using FUN and 0 (zero) on the mic. 7) Save to the first open channel by pushing Fun and UP on the microphone (or then use the UP and DN keys on the mic to scroll through the available channels, with empty ones saying NULL 8) Save to this channel holding down the "MON-*" key on the mic and you are done! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Use DCS Digital Tones: Go to desired channel Press FUN on mic Press 1 on mic Go to menu 1 using V/M or Main key on mic Press number 1 on mic to cycle to 000 N display for menu 1 Use up and down on mic to scroll to code corresponding to desired DCS code. List is in the instructions. Use V/M or Main to go to menu item 2. Repeat selection process Press DIL on mic to exit. _________________________________________________________________ New Radioddity DB20-G CPS software V2.02 1.

Why won't it let me edit or add any channels?

Thank you for this presentation 73 de HB9HIW

Has anyone used chirp to program the 779 ?

What a load of rubbish the programming software is, no insert, no copy, no past, no import, no export, no move up, no move down. its a abysmal. Also no nick gain, i really really love the radio, programming software is the assault!!! well can't describe how frustrating it is, it really is frustrating compared to anything else have used that's crap. For me this radio will never see the light of day with me again until they sort eplace the software or chirp add this radio.

Beware the Anytone 779UV UK version 2.34 cannot be opened up whatsoever. I'm sending it back as I want to use it while staying in USA. 4X4 Norfolk CB lied to me said they can be unlocked, that's BS they cannot be they are stuck. No Data Cable & the box had been opened. Bad information caused me to buy a cable & you do not unlock it with a PC. Hate liars who have bought a cheap almost useless lot & lying to sell them. It's going back tomorrow.

Why do you hate the letter "T" so much?

First

I have a better idea. How about LEARNING the functions of your radio WITHOUT A COMPUTER, by MANUALLY programming it? If you PC does it for you, you don't LEARN shit!
