Review on 💪 High Power Dual Band VHF UHF 50W/40W Mobile Transceiver Vehicle Radio AnyTone AT-5888UV with Programming Cable by Louis Mechtak

I love my Anytone 5888uv. I use it as a true mobile setup in my car, paired with a Diamond NR770 NMO antenna (about 4ft tall) with a Diamond NMO trunk for luggage security. Under the right conditions, I can speak simplex at full power to people up to 50 miles away. The mid1 and mid2 power settings are great for hitting repeaters within 35 miles or so, depending on the repeater. There's still a lot of analogue activity out there. The only thing missing is DMR operations, but you add a lot to the cost of this feature on a good mobile or base. The 5888UV is very easy to program manually or with Chirp or Anytone. There's also an option for an interband repeater, which is handy if you don't want to stay close to the radio and want to have HT on hand. The sound quality is absolutely excellent. I connected it directly to the battery in the car. You can set it to turn off after as many minutes as your car has been off, or if you know what you're doing you can even turn it off when you turn off your car's ignition. It has a detachable head, convenient for you to pull out and take with you when you are afraid of theft. Overall, it's as good as any Yaseau mobile I've used for dates.
