The Anytone 878 supports Dual Receive, which is something we are long overdue for on a scanner radio.While not type accepted to do so, if one was inclined, you could program this radio for FRS and GMRS use.DMR programming supports 10,000 Talk Group IDs.You can store 500,000 DMR Radio IDs in Memory.Memories are broken down into a maximum of 250 zones with 250 memories per zone.It has got plenty of room in there for conventional memories supporting 4000 memory locations.The UVII Plus includes Bluetooth and mine included a BT PTT Button in the box.Some of the Anytone radios will transmit APRS, but this radio UVII plus will receive APRS packets, and you don't need to be an amateur radio operator to receive APRS.Promiscuous can be set so the radio will monitor any Talk Group that is transmitting.DMR support is limited to Tier I and Tier II, which means it will work fine for simplex and repeater DMR transmissions.However, expanding the range to 520 MHz is a simple modification you can do via software.Out of the box, t transmits and receives 136-174 MHz and 400-480 MHz on US models.Since DMR is included out of the box, this could be a cheaper alternative to buying a Digital Radio with the optional DMR upgrade.
