This is the second DMR radio that I bought. I wanted something stable,
|
|
|
|
|
a rock-solid handheld radio that cannot be bricked, since my [first DMR
|
|
|
|
|
radio][1] did not start any more.

The transmitted audio quality of this device is really good. Also the TX
|
|
|
|
|
buffering is an awesome feature if you tend to respond immediately. It buffers
|
|
|
|
|
your voice until TXing is ready (otherwise you can setup a TX-ready tone).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The radios operating frequencies are **70cm only**!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also analog operation is not very easy, yet alone a 1750Hz tone is hard to generate,
|
|
|
|
|
I've been looking on the internet to accomplish that (in europe many repeater open
|
|
|
|
|
after they receive that tone on their RX frequency). At least in Tirol the newer
|
|
|
|
|
repeater are triggered with a 77Hz subtone.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It has a nice fit in my hands, but I rarely use this radio.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No channel can be entered without a computer, you may want to use the Hytera
|
|
|
|
|
software for this only.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm using Firmware v9 on this, but I've read that v8 would be a better choice.

|
Sending Hytera devices for repair is a major pain in the ass, the friendly people at
|
|
|
|
|
the store where I bought the device had to send it over to the UK because noone in
|
|
|
|
|
europe can replace parts... that's how it looks... at least.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
They changed the motherboard at a cost of about 150€. The whole correspondence took
|
|
|
|
|
about 4 months (which also was a major pain) - specially when they tried to convince
|
|
|
|
|
me to trash the device and buy another one (with some discount).

## Output power (70cm band)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Hytera PD785G only supports 70cm.
