Anytone AT-778UV FM Dual Band Transceiver

The Anytone AT-778UV is a popular dual-band FM transceiver known for its affordability and solid features. Operating on VHF (144-148 MHz) and UHF (440-450 MHz) bands, it offers selectable power outputs of 25W, 15W, or 5W. Its bright 180-degree TFT LCD display and intuitive interface enhance usability in various settings. While it delivers good audio quality and a robust build, it lacks a dedicated volume knob and may heat up during extended use. Overall, it's an excellent entry-level choice for amateur radio enthusiasts.
