VERO VR-N7500 App Controlled Bluetooth Dual Band Mobile Radio! 

@Simon Pugh But can you program it? That's the very least I could ask for.

well you wouldnt be expected to fiddle with it. put all your channels in then hit up and down on your mic or the button on your steering wheel..jees i get it you dont like technology some of us welcome this.

a) It only scans the currently active channel groups. b) Moreover, a channel group can only hold 16 entries. - Both of these annoyances should be improved, I can only hope.

Could connect a cheap android device with wired power supply, and then control it remotely over wifi with a second android device .. so all is possible :)

@@user-zr3tb6bg7o I use a galaxyTab and a handheld crossband repeater linked to my cellular mobile hotspot/available wifi as a uhf/vhf to internet transceiver set up. I use it for GMRS to zello crossover

@@imhamradio6645 sounds good!

Haha do it you deserve a new toy!

scan: yes; link regions: no

Bluetooth range is more than enough to be used in a vehicle. Make a Mic that has programmable buttons , numbers and up/dwn to control the radio and you're good to go. I'm going to bet a ton of people use CHIRP or some software to program their radio today. What's the difference except you don't have to wait to get him to program it. Build a better looking radio UI which I'm sure Kenwood, Yaesu and others could do. Imagine the FTM 400/ft3dr or kenwood 74a screen UI except on your phone. You could use the screen for some options or the hand mic to control the radio. The big advantage for a radio of this design is using an old cell phone or tablet would also take care of remote mounting a radio that doesn't have remote mount ability for those of us with vehicles that don't really have a place to mount a radio so you can view the radio face if it doesn't have a remote face option. It also needs some digital modes.

Bluetooth range is quite good now. And this uses bluetooth 2.0, so it’s range would work in and around your car no problem IN the house you should be able to freely walk around a 2 story 1500 sqft house with no problems. Educate yourself next time on technology friend.

Verotelecom Two Way Radio I’m having major problems with my radio hitting local repeaters that my HT has no problems hitting. It is very inconstant hitting them with my mobile antenna that’s much higher gain than my HT plus 40 watts of power. The blue tooth microphones will not let me change the channel either. I can volume up and down but that’s it. All of this is very concerning to me. The IOS app is very poor to be honest. I don’t think this app was ready for prime time folks. My iPhone 11 pro max struggles to stay connected to the radio also. When I’ve been able to hit a repeater the audio reports have been good including the BT microphone. I’ll wait for your promised IOS improved app before I pass final judgement but the connection issues and not being able to hit local repeaters is concerning. BTW my repeater settings are correct.

​@@alabamacampandhike i think you did not read the the instructions carefully ，press the M button to change from Volume mode to Channel Mode. For the IOS app,we are working on it. i think it will be updating soon.

@@verotelecomtwowayradio9036 The M button on the BT mic isn't working at all it won't react to any touch. The volume buttons will raise and lower the volume but thats all I can get my BT mic to do. My biggest problem is the squelch seems to be very hard to break. I have adjusted it as low as possible without breaking the squelch then I trigger a repeater and it won't break the squelch. I can hear the repeater it on my HT but not on the n7500. This seems to be a problem with repeaters with a lower signal DB but like I stated MY HT can hear it so should my 7500. Either way is there some way to fix this using IOS?

@@verotelecomtwowayradio9036 how do I change regions I want to scan? Can I scan more than one region at a time? How can I get answers to my questions? I purchased and received this radio a few days ago and have several questions.

Its actually a good solution for being able to operate Mobile whilst driving your car like we used to be able too before our do gooders brought out a law that makes it illegal to push a ptt button on a Microphone and have a qso here in the UK, even though we had been doing this for year's without any problems.😉. We are allowed to watch Advertising on Massive Screens on our roads and even Motorways whilst driving at 70MPH, go figure.

@@RingwayManchester can anyone buy one from them?

@@billtr96sn Yes - Here: www.verotelecom.com/VERO-VR-N7500-50W-Dual-Band-Mobile-Radio-With-APP-Programming-p541441.html

Google Retevis RT99 save some money.

You can pre-program channels and use the selector on the mic to switch between the pre-programmed options.

@@verotelecomtwowayradio9036 How do you initiate/stop scanning from the mic?
