Anytone 878: Can't select channel
« on: September 20, 2022, 02:46:15 PM »

I have had my new AT-878 II Plus for about a week now and have used the CPS app to set up my zones, lists and channels. The app and the upload to the rig have worked flawlessly and I have successfully tested the radio using the primary channel.

What I am unable to figure out though, is how to manually select an individual channel that is in my list. Like other handhelds I've owned, I assume that the Channel Switch Knob is used somehow to scroll through my list. That's not happening and I haven't figured out how to make it happen. Is anyone familiar with how to enable the channel-select function? Thanks.

You need to put each channel into an appropriate zone. You then select a zone with the up/down rocker, then rotate the top control to select the channel.

For example I have zones for my hotspot, marine VHF (RX only), UHF simplex, VHF simplex, analogue repeaters and the local DMR repeater.

Hope that helps.

Dave, thank you very much for your reply. After about 4 hours of frustration trying different configurations, it took about 2 minute to follow your instructions and get the channel knob to work.

Much appreciation and best regards,
