The AnyTone D868UV radio is a VHF and UHF radio with both Digital DMR (Tier I and II) and Analog capabilities. It offers a total of 4,000 channels (Analog and Digital) and up to 130,000 contacts, as well as multiple DMR ID numbers (Radio ID’s) for a single radio.

This radio is Part 90 DMR commercial transceiver with a 1.77 inch color TFT display. 4,000 Channels with 10,000 Talk Groups. Frequency coverage is 140-174 / 400-480 MHz.

• VHF/UHF Dual Band: Monitor two bands at the same time (V+V, U+U & V+U). It will also monitor one receiver on analog and one receiver on digital.
• Digital DMR and Analog: Features both DMR digital and analog modes on any channel.
• High Power Output: 6 Watts, 4 Watts, 1 Watt selectable transmit power output.
• Color TFT Display: 1.77 inch color TFT screen with dual or single channel display.

User Manual Programming Manual

The software which programs the radio frequencies and all other user defined aspects of the radio operation is called a “codeplug”. Creating a codeplug is a ‘bottom up’ process where the lowest (common) elements must be created first, then built upon until a fully functional codeplug, that can be loaded into a radio, has been created. The AT-D868UV radio has unique software for both creating the codeplug and writing it into the radio for use. When you start creating a new codeplug, many lists and groups are populated with single entries, which may be used as placeholders for initial creation of lists. The programming software allows importing and exporting most of the programming parameters for the creation of large amount of input data to the radio (i.e. large lists of contact names).

Repeaterbook is currently developing a project to export data from DMR repeaters into a CSV file that can be imported into the radio's CPS. The export will allows for the collection of both analog and DMR repeaters, along with the associated DMR talkgroups.

The first searches with export capability will be linked from the DMR Niche Pages.

This is a multi-step process when working with this radio. You must first download the talk group CSV and import to the radio. The complete CSV of all talk groups can be downloaded here.

Step 1 is to create the Contact List.

Step 2 is to create the DMR ID List

The talkgroup CSV contains every talk group recorded in the Repeaterbook database. There are three options, based on your needs:

1. DMR-MARC only compatible talk groups
2. BrandMeister only compatible talkgroups
3. Both DMR-MARC and BrandMeister compatible talkgroups

Numeric DMR talkgroup ID.

Full name of the talkgroup. Truncated at 9 characters

Full name of the talkgroup.

Can be blank.

Can be blank.

Can be blank.

Can be blank.

Values: “Group Cal”

Values: “None”

Once all talkgroups are entered, the Contact List should be imported back into the programming software the same way you exported the file. Click on TOOLS and then import. In the new window, click on Digital Contacts and select the .csv file you want imported.

The following information was derived from deconstructing the exported CSV file from the radio. Each row is headered by the column name in bold below.

This is an auto incremented record number starting with 1 and increases in integer teps by 1. Is this displayed anywhere in the radio or is it internal only?

This is a personalized channel name. Propose using the name of the nearest city and a talk group alias (abbreviation).

The receive frequency on the radio. Format is “nnn.nnnn”.

The transmit frequency on the radio. Format is “nnn.nnnn”.

Values: “A-Analog”, “D-Digital.”

For DMR channels, use D-Digital. For Analog channels, use A-Analog.

Values: “High”, “Low” The radio is capable of four output power settings. Is there a “mid1”, “mid2” or equivalent setting? Repeaterbook will set this to “Low” to comply with FCC rules regarding utilizing the lowest transmit power required to maintain reliable communications. Users can override this setting in the export as needed.

Values: “12.5K”, “25K”

Use “12.5K” for DMR and “25K” for analog. When Repeaterbook begins tracking the bandwidth of the supported repeater modes, use this value instead.

Values: “Off”, analog PL value, digital PL value.

Digital PL example “D125N”. Analog PL example “82.5”. Use the appropriate code or set to “Off” if no code or “CSQ” is present.

Values: “Off”, analog PL value, digital PL value.

Digital PL example “D125N”. Analog PL example “82.5”. Use the appropriate code or set to “Off” if no code or “CSQ” is present.

Name of the DMR talk group. It is allowed to have spaces. Maximum characters? For analog repeaters, it appears as though the name is “Contact 1”.

This is the call sign of the radio owner. Since Repeaterbook requires users to be logged on to export, it will pull the call sign of the logged on user and insert it into this field.

Values: “Always”, “Same Color Code”, “Off”

What do these values mean?

Values: “Carrier”, “CTCSS/DCS”

This is receive tone squelch (TSQ). It only applies to analog repeaters. If a repeater is known to be transmitting a CTCSS/PL/DPL tone, then turn this field to “CTCSS/DCS”. If the repeater is DMR, then set to “Carrier”.

Values: “Off”, ?
