A few notes of the improved firmware edits: we greatly improved APRS receiving stability and firmware reliability. The DMR-6X2 PRO has true ad-hoc without any time out, Store and forward repeater option, priority scan and linked multi scan groups, and our programming CPS has easy descriptions written in the US for simpler use. There are also minor convenience changes such as allowing for a daytime/night-time display, analog squelch can be adjusted from a side key press, and linked scanning groups and other simple user convenience tweaks. Oh and of course... we have an earpiece included 😂😂

@JaronActual Год назад

One thing I liked on the original 6X2 was they shipped with two batteries, a base 2100 mAH and extended 3100 mAH. Sad they don't include both now, as the extended one feels rather thick in my hand. The original 6X2 could also import an 878 plug, so that would be something to try here as well. The original 6X2 also had much better scanning features than the 878UV, namely that channels could have multiple scan groups, ad-hoc TG entry from the keypad, and priority channel scan. I'd be surprised if that's not the case of the Pro vs the XVII.

@JimVajda82 Год назад

Ad-hoc talkgroup selection is a killer feature and the 6X2 PRO has it as well. My channel list is a lot more manageable now. Those other software features you mentioned are in the PRO as well.

@JaronActual Год назад

@@JimVajda82 Yeah, I figured they would. I've been using Btech stuff for a while because they've showed me great customer support. They even asked me to be a beta tester as they were rolling out the updates on the original 6X2

I just bought an Anytone 878 vII plus with the green button on top. It looks to be nearly identical to the Btech you are reviewing. I heard it was made by the same manufacturer. I have not confirmed that 100 percent yet.

@markcarlson6950 Год назад

@@HamRadio2 I had no problem importing an 878 codeplug into my 6X2. Only thing I had to tweak were the different optional screen features in the CPS. I see no reason that the UVII wont go into the 6X2 Pro.

@yaroze Год назад

I am pretty sure this is a rebadged Anytone, the battery that you pulled out of the box is the same model as the the one that just came with my AT-D878UVII Plus, the QB-44HL, the rest of the accessories, also look like the same, even the bluetooth headset, even the manual looks to be the same, except for the branding on it. If that is true, then hey for a little less $$, for pretty much the same radio, that is cool, hopefully you get a chance to play with the code plugs to see how much difference there is in firmwares.

@JaronActual Год назад

This isn't news. Most of Btech's products are licensed variants of other radios. They typically put their own spin on them, usually adding a few extra features.

@JimVajda82 Год назад

Same hardware, vastly better software.

@JaronActual Год назад

The original 6X2 was a licensed 878UV variant as well. That's mainly what Btech does, licenses an existing design and then make their own special version of it, usually adding some features the original didn't have.
