I recently acquired the Anytone BAT-878C via HamRadio Outlet, and upon further investigation you can't charge it with an A/C USB-C adapter, you have to use a computer or something with "data", because it doesn't accept "power delivery" according to:

So that sucks. But at least I can slow charge it, I guess

The Panasonic FZ-G1 tablet looks pretty good there in my Crown Vic. Too bad I don't have any way to really mount it. and it covers the #Anytone microphone up just a little too much.

So, some notes:
Got my K1 cables for the #DigiRig today, meaning I should be able to have an audio I/F to most HTs. (And if they're RS-232 serial, I can program them too.) So I just did some low-power APRS testing... and sure enough, plug in the GT-5R and my 878 was decoding packets from it.
Only one issue: the AnyTone 878 doesn't PTT in the same way, apparently, so that's not doing anything. I guess that means this cable is Baofeng only... but you know, the GT-5R has "enough" filtering (certainly more than the UV-5R) and a portable APRS station is a portable APRS station. I think I can work with that.

So, this is fun.
#AnyTone D578 - the vehicle mobile version of the 878. Seems pretty nice, I think mine is just broken...
- Doing a test on FM simplex with a nearby 878, the 578 produced a signal that was barely audible... and the 878s don't have that quiet of a speaker at full volume.
- Doing that same test, the 578 was completely deaf to the 878's signal.
- A test with the #TinySA showed that the 578 on turbo power was marginally weaker than an 878 on turbo power
- Trying to test with a local repeater had no luck. Putting my 878 on reverse, showed a strong signal, but no audio - likely because it wasn't picking up the PL tone that I know was set correctly.
- Testing against my DMR hotspot worked flawlessly. So this all seems to be on the analog FM side not the DMR side.
This is the exact same antenna and antenna position that has been used on that very 878 with very good results... so I don't think it's the problem.

Look mom, APRS geht auch. No hands! #spielkind #hamradio #anytone
