#Hamradio #kc5hwb #besthandheldhamradio
Have to give an honourable mention to Kenwood's TH-D74. Although discontinued it still hold's its own next to $600 HTs. That radio was easy ahead of its time when it was released and makes for a good and cheaper alternative to the Icom. Other than that I have the same Anytone and the Yaesu FT3D which though older still does the job for fusion which is all I use it for.
Have you seen what the TH-D74's have been going for? They're hovering around $1000 on eBay lately. 😱
If it was still in production then it would have made the list
I used all radios that mentioned in the video but nothing can beat Kenwood TH-D74.
@@matsherwood6277 yeap, kenwood ended production of th-d74 recently, that is one of the main reasons of the prices.
@@onurbespinar the Yaesu beats the D74 for 2 reasons..
1. Battery life. I love my D74 but the battery on the FT5D lasts twice as long.
2. The FT5D is still in production
I picked up the 878 a few weeks ago and is my first foray in to the digital side. I can’t put the radio down and am really enjoying DMR. I have zero regrets about buying this radio.
Awesome
Honorable Mention, for the beginning Ham Radio operator is the TYT MD UV380. UHF/VHF, and DMR, works well for me. But it is inexpensive. So if your new, and not sure if you want to spend the money, look into this one.
James I was going to mention the 380/390's too, you beat me to it!
When I needed a new phone, I considered the Honorable Mention rFinder. But at that time, it didn't work on the Verizon network. That has since changed, but I don't need a phone...yet. My first DMR radio was the Ailunce HD-1; a great radio. But folks around me were starting to get the Anytone 878 so I got one to better support my fellow hams from a technical standpoint. I liked it so much, I got the 578 mobile. Now I'm up to 5 DMR radios from 3 manufacturers. Yeah, I've got GAS: Gear Acquisition Syndrome. 😆
LOL
Hey Jason... Another great video! Your Top 3 picks were not surprising. They are the best of the best. I am a newer DMR user and love my AnyTone! In fact, I have shelved my FT-60 and use my 878UVII Plus exclusively as my analog (and digital) HT. I am glad you gave an "Honorable Mention" to RFinder. I have been amazed at the number of digital QSO's I have made, where the other station was using a RFinder. One night, I had three stations with RFinders! Everyone that has one seems to love it. By and far though, my experience has shown AnyTone HT's to be the most commonly used radio on DMR.
I picked up my Yaesu FT5DR from GigaParts a few months back and have never looked back. But I already had my AnyTone 878UV Plus. I don't leave home without either one of them. I swing between DMR and YSF frequently and now have an ID-4100A in my truck. I think i'm having an identity crisis. 😂😂😂 73's from KD5FMU and NOPE 🙂
honorable mention, took your advice got anytone could not be more happy. This radio does every thing I need from just amateur radio to ARES operation and more. Thank you and keep making more great videos.
Awesome
I must admit, I own two of the three (Yeasu and Icom) and honorably mention that I am seriously interested in the RFinder b1+. Great video keep it up. Local Texan.
Love the Anytone 878 and the Ft3dr for all these reasons. Sure, I'd love the Icom ID 52 but we have few Dstar repeaters on our big city and yet plenty of Fusion machines. Add the DPRS and the Icom isn't working for me. My Kenwood D74 is amazing and I'm hoping that Kenwood has a replacement soon. All good choices, Jason!
Honorable mention. Great summary. I like the AT 878UVIII plus
Honorable mention: I own two of the three top HTs that you featured. (The Anytone and the Yaesu along with far too many of various other HTs!) I find myself reaching for the Yaesu first-not necessarily because of Fusion. I find the Yaesu the easiest to use and, as you said, that screen is amazing! 73, Jeff WB1AAL
Agreed
Great summary video. Honorable mention to the Anytone 868 as well. I have it and the FT-5D. Both great radios.
Thanks
Great video. Your secret code word: Nope. I have an Anytone AT-D878UVII Plus and I absolutely love it. Easy to program from the panel. Flexibility in bands, Analog and Digital APRS, battery life.
Honorable mention. I have several Fusion radios that I didn't even pay $300.00 USD for. However I saw a demonstration of RFinnder Radio last year. I'm should. I believe that if you own that radio, you don't need any other. Good video, Thanks.
I got a ID-52, FT3D and a FT70. The ID-52 is a great radio and sound good on D-STAR and FM. I've heard they have a Heil microphone built into it. The down side is no touch screen, my preference. The battery is interchangeable with the IC-705 as well. The best part is the 3100 MAh battery, plenty of talk time.
The FT3D is another great HT. I got is before the FT5D came out. Built in APRS capability is why I got it. I go hunting in the mountains here in Tennessee and having that capability is nice.
The FT70D is alright. Programing could be better, but sounds good on C4FM and FM. What I don't like about the Yaesu radios is the parasitic drain on the batteries and the size. It's a must to have multiple batteries with Yaesu radios. Wish Yaesu would've made larger batteries with their HT's.
I have a FT70D and I am ready to toss it! Wont connect to the C4FM repeater - way to hard to program
There's plenty of UA-cam videos about the FT70D on just about anything, that's how I learned to program and get on YSF with the radio. If you're using the rubber duck, it's a possibility that it isn't reaching the repeater.
Try using an aftermarket antenna or connect the radio to a mobile antenna on a pizza pan, maybe a base station antenna.
Also, make sure the radio has the Automatic Mode Select (AMS) turned on when trying to connect to a YSF reflector. If that isn't turned on, that will cause some issues. It's either in FM or C4FM. To turn on AMS, press and hold the AMS button at the bottom left corner of the key pad for a second until you hear it beep. Look at the screen and you should see AMS on the display.
Another idea if you have the money for a hotspot, that will work out great. I use hotspots for YSF and D-STAR. Both get the internet through my cell phone. If you have high speed internet at home, you can set up a hotspot and get on YSF anytime you want and go to any reflector you wish.
Don't toss the radio. It's a great beginner radio into the digital voice world. It'll take some time to learn how to operate the radio. Once you get it figured out, you'll enjoy getting on YSF in no time.
@@pale_2111 My AnyTone 878 2+ does everything and the batteries last all day
Been thinking about getting into DMR. Just not sure what radio to get.
@@pale_2111 AnyTone 878 2+ - but whatever you get, get one that holds 500,000 contacts as DMR is growing and growing - I update the contacts once a week!
Honorable mention...although I skipped to the end of the video just to get the "secret word" first; then I went back and watched the video. LOL. A great video. Very informative. :~)
Thanks for watching
Honorable mention is for me the last radio/cell phone and the phrase of the day is “nope.” Enjoyed this!
You're presentation of this group of HT titans was fair and honorable. Mention the Anytone, and I realize that I own two due to your recommendations. I am also able to use them for transmission because you helped me realize the learning and licensing process is not insurmountable. Thank you.
I have a Anytone 878 its not the latest version but still usable I will say once i got the Yaesu FT5D it quickly became my favorite HT I have both DMR and Fusion in my local area I am unaware of any D-star repeaters in my area I have used D-star Simplex and the sound was not as good as Fusion or DMR.
8782plus is better.
Jason great overview of the three / four radios. Looks like it's the ID-52 for me as we have DSTAR here and there are no System Fusion repeaters nearby. Still thinking about the FT5DR as I would love the APRs. Keep up the great work ! Nope !
Hey Jason! The secret phrase is Honorable Mention! I wonder why you didn't include the TH-D74A from Kenwood? Regardless, I enjoyed the video and was pleased that you did our homework for us on these rigs. I am especially intrigued by the Smartphone/DMR rig. I did a web search for it and found that there are several manufacturers of similar rigs. I'm looking forward to seeing what the near future will bring us in that realm as well. Maybe there'll be a DMR/DStar/C4FM/NXDN/P25/Smartphone in the market sometime in the near future with an integrated full feature hotspot built in as well of course! Keep up the good work OM! 73//KK0DJ
The D74A is no longer in production. If/when it comes back, it'll be included
Thanks for share you opinion on these radios. I have a dstar repeater in my town but for crying out loud $600 for an HT that doesn't even do aprs. I am have a lot of fun with APRS lately and I have noticed a frequent packet on the aprs network near me is a guy with a Anytone AT878UVII so I may have to check one of those out so that is my honorable mention.
Thank you for the honorable mention
I have an FT-3DR & three Anytone DMR Radios, I have an AT-D878UV Plus, AT-D878UV II Plus, & D578UV Pro. I like the Anytone's & use it the most but & I also use the FT-3DR too ---- NOPE Honorable Mention
glad you did an honorable mention about the RFinder! Seriously taking a look at it but need to do more research on it. You mentioned in an older video something about the hotspot so I'll go back and watch that one.
Might be the livestream I did with Bob about the DMRoip.
On of the best features of the Icom is the nearest FM repeater by GPS. I may be wrong, but I believe the only one of the 3 that have this feature. It's great when traveling.
You have to load the repeaters via MicroSD card into the radio, then it uses the GPS to find the nearest repeaters from that list you just loaded. So yes, that works. The RFinder does the same thing but it loads itself, no need to manually load a list on an SD card
Really hoping to get going with a ham and play with the big boys and girls out there, testing ham soon 🤗 really appreciate the time put into these videos, watched all the 'upgrade to general' videos studying studying 'nope' trying to find a club to issue the test, can't wait. Thank you have a pleasant day
Honorable Mention! What do you think about the Radioddity GD-88? Out of the 3 DMR HT's that I own, this is by far my favorite!
I think the Rfinder is a good honourable mention. You compare it to the iPhone and the Galaxy and I think that's a good way to look at it
Agreed
Honorable mention! Thanks for the video.
This is an honeranle mention. I tried wathing another youtuber. The echo he had was so distracting I could not finish watching the video. Thank you for all the effort you put in to preping, making, and editimg content.
Thanks for watching
Thank you Jason, VE2KEZ, I USE A FT3DR, FT991A. I like your video. From finder seems to be a good gadget as a cell/ radio!
Yep
Great review and the honourable mention of the FT5D
Thanks
NOPE
Love your channel sir. Thank you for all the content. It has helped me tremendously. Just got my tech license a couple weeks ago thanks to you and Josh! Keep up the good work!
Hi Jason , great video. An "Honorable Mention" to the D-Star line up of the 3 pretty amazing HT's . I like the Anytone radio and would actually get one of those as the other 2 radios are a bit pricey. By the way greetings from Ontario , Canada. I really love your videos and i am an avid ham operator. 73s from VE3NCV , Gary
Thanks
I'm returning to ham radio after many years, I bought an Anytone 878UVII Plus and I'm really enjoying it. Regarding talking in other digital modes, I configured my hotspot in Gateway mode and I'm able to talk in DMR (BM and DMR+), YSF and TGIF without problems, the only thing I still couldn't get my Apple bluetooth headset to work, I believe that is incompatible, I was able to pair but I cannot receive any audio.
Congratulations for your videos, they are very interesting and, above all, objective.
PY2DIG, Sergio from Brazil.
Honorable mention love it. The RFinder is cool
Jason excellent video thank you for sharing 👍
An additional comment on the touch screen of the Yaesu. I have one, it is a great radio. But the screen is small and my fingers are fat. it makes it a little harder to hit the right button. Sometimes you can use the knob and f menu key to select something, but in a few spots you have to use the touchscreen (such as Wires-x room memory), and I wish it was consistent.
Why is the Radioddity not listed?
Hi all. Although I don’t own one, my favorite HT would be the Kenwood TH-D74. It’s too bad it was discontinued. I just couldn’t afford it during its production, NOPE. At some point I’ll probably pick a used one up. I currently own a small collection of Baofengs, Btech, Yeasu, Kenwood, Standard and recently the older Anytone 868. 73s WB5NOE
Yeah, everything depends on the repeaters available in your area. I am kind of a Yaesu fan, but with no System Fusion repeaters in my area, the Yaesu would make the most expensive analog HT. So that is a big NOPE.
There is no technical reason to not offer all 3 digital modes, except for the "not invented here" syndrome.
My dream is an all digital mode HT with USB charging.
I wish there was more repeaters local to me in the UK but "NOPE" there isnt, there is like 2 digital ones far away (1 DMR 1 YSF) where i would need an aerial on the roof which i cant do until i move, when i move to my new location there is more within range and at least 3 of each close by but i will probably stick with DMR for now, I like DMR and i love the anytone, it does the job far better than the old TYT radios.
This is an excellent video, thankyou and love the vids 😁💖💖
Thank you Jason for the awesome video that you gave Honorable Mentioned. My first HT was a YAESU FT-411E 2m then ICOM IC-T7A Dual, followed by YAESU FT-3DR then after Anytone AT-878Plus next was a Kenwood TH-D74A and lastly ICOM ID-51A. Side kick are Radioddity Baofeng UV-5RTP with the UV-5X3 lastly GT3. Glad to be here. Stay Safe 73 Ruben KD6CWI
Thanks
FT5D dual band bluetooth £350 Easily best value and most usable - dmr has a big learning curve most people can't use aprs on 878 as it's too complicated also the 878 is single receive .
DMR isn't complicated - it does have a learning curve but so does everything. I find DSTAR much more complicated than DMR.
You are so wrong 😂
@@dangerous8333 In today's world, wrong=right - but not in my world. DSTAR is more complicated than DMR but neither are impossible to learn or understand, especially not for Ham Operators.
"NOPE" I enjoy watching your videos. I am new to Ham Radio and starting a TECH class online for my Technical license tonight. One question I can't find online is can handheld ham radios work the same bands as base and mobile radios? I am sorry if this is a dumb question
Hello Jason KC5HWB
I got the ICOM ID-52 A

Honorable Mention. I have a Yaesu FT-70, Radioddity GD-77, TYT UV380, and TYT UV390. That being said I’m still tempted by the 878 due to all the rave reviews I hear.
The GD-77 is a really good radio, I have one, but prefer my GD-88 over it
I have a Alinco DJ-MD5X DMR HT and a SDR Play RSP DX and a Adalm Pluto SDR for DATV Reception with SDR Angel Software, You are right about Morse Code, it was Made for Ship to Shore Communication in the 1900s,
And also honorable mention. Thank you
Loved the honorable mention have thought about the Rfiinder think it is a great combination of technology's unsure to pull the trigger yet. I have Bothe the Antyone and the Icom and really like them almost equally. I only have a toe in dstar but very good with DMR and like it a lot.
Only radios that support APRS are real contenders 😉
With being on the PAPA system I can use Dstar, DMR, YSF or P25. So far I only use DMR. Thanks for your review on the 3/4 units. The honorable mention is currently not for me, nope too expensive. Maybe if I hit the lottery.
AnyTone 878 Plus 2 HT and 578 are my GO 2 Radios! Love AnyTone and much better than my Yaesu radios
fantastic job mike 73 from kb2uew muchas gracias happy holidays
I own the honorable mention Rfinder B1 Plus as well as the Anytone AT-D878UVII Plus. I love them both. DMR Rocks and so do you and your channel. Keep up the good work. Gary KI5VYE
Good choice!
Nope, great video Jason. I just have not made the jump to digital not knowing which mode has the greatest number of users hinders my decision. How do we find out world wide user numbers in each mode. I had been considering the icom 7100 as its hf/uhf/vhf and dstar. It hits them all. But i am wavering as dstar in my area is limited.
Keep up the great work as always.
Major great information. Thank you “Honorable Mention”
Thanks
NOPE, I don't have any digital mode repeaters nearby, so the hotspot comes in handy! 878uvii plus and id-52 are both great! One of these days I'd love to splurge for an R-finder! Thank you for doing what you do! KI5VIG
👍👍👍 Honorable mention
NOPE. I have a Kenwood D-74 and Icom ID-51 for Dstar. I have a Yaesu FT-1DR (yeah..original), for C4FM, and various DMR radios (Motorola, Anytone, etc). Hoping Kenwood comes back with a new HT soon.
Honorable mention
Honourable mention, and I agree they are nice radios, but believe it or not, they are still way too expensive for those of us on fixed income, as we struggle to pay for gas, utilities, and FOOD. Would like a Icom or Anytone myself, but for those prices can I buy a nice HF rig. My view my opinion, and great video as always. 73
Speak for yourself Kurt.
@@dangerous8333 I am speaking for myself Dan, never said anything about you, and I did say we, because there are more like me, and like you. 73 SK
Awesome video it deserves an honorable mention for content!
Honorable Mention
RFinder... a bit expensive. I just use Droidstar through my Samsung. D-Star, YSF, DMR, NXDN and more. There also exists Dudestar for your PC. Have you tried it out? When checked through the Parrot Talk Groups and "On-Air" contacts, the audio has been good both directions.
Those are apps that require internet to work. The RFinder has a real radio that can communicate via RF to other radios.
@@HamRadio2 So I grab my FT5dr and Alinco DJMD5 before I go out. Where I currently reside there are no repeaters of any kind. No need to have purchased the aforementioned excellent HTs, as they would only weigh me down. We do however have lots of Wifi connections.
@@HamRadio2 I'm absolutely certain that is true . My point being that my 2 expensive radios are great, yet even I in the most remote part of Central Mindanao I can almost always stay Connected online, what use are the $500 here and $300 radios necessary other than Simplex or Sport? Hey, I own them also. The answer... In case civilization fails and there is no more power grid. If there were any repeaters here, my FT-5DR. Alinco and Retevis HTs would do much more than collect dust....
Thanks for the info! Honorable Mention.
Thanks for watching
I bought the anytone as my 1st radio not being licensed yet. Nope. I cannot talk on it but I can listen and enjoy. I am probably the only unlicensed ham radio listener that owns that plus yaesu and Wauseon. I need to take the test.
Honorable Mention !!
CQ from N4TDM. Have you heard anything on the STOCK ANTENNAS on the ICOM 52a and Yaesu HT that you reviewed. I would assume the quarter wave dual band aftermarket antennas would be a bit better with them as they are on most HT's.
I really appreciate your informative videos !! Will keep watching. Thanks and 73's
Tim
in Rockingham, N.C.
Honorable mention! If were me, I’d buy the Yeasu or RFinder !
I bought the Anytone on your recomendations and I love it. It certanily is not an Honorable Mention.
My wife would need to get an honorable mention if I got one of these radios and she didn’t kill me over the price. 😂😂😂
I’m still a little too new in the game to start thinking digital, I haven’t had a good analog connection yet.
As others have stated my honorable mention would go to the TYT 380/390 for DMR.
Those radios are fine but they don't match up to the Anytone at all
@@HamRadio2 For 1/3 the price of an 878 you get WAY more than 1/3 the radio. I 100% agree the 878 deserves the limelight for the DMR sector, it is my go to rig for DMR. But for $100 the 380 is a great way to get your feet wet in the DMR world without breaking the bank. Thanks for the content and the reply!
@@rescueseven Agreed. But THIS video was about the Top 3 digital HTs, not starting level HTs. I do talk about starting level radios in other videos
@@rescueseven That's $100 I can put towards the Anytone. Buy once cry once.
I've never subscribed to the notion of "beginner" devices. That goes for everything I've ever done.
Maybe I just learn faster than others.
Id52 is a hot mess without APRS
It is a good radio, but yes.... it needs real APRS.
You're videos are always awesome. I'd have to save up to get one of these radios. The two most interesting is the Anytone AT - D878UVll plus and RFinder b1 Android plus radio. Is it possible to be my first radio every? NOPE 🤩 Honorable mention 73
term of the day, Honorable Mention
Yep
I think the FT70DR is worth an Honorable Mention!
Hey Jason was the word of the day "honorable mention" or "NOPE" which you flashed across the screen? Lol. Anyway, if I'm not mistaken you have an ICOM ID-5100 in your truck, is that correct? If so, when you do your video on DPRS, using that would be a huge help to me, as I get so confused everytime I try to figure it out, and I have 2 ID-5100's. Thanks.
NOPE. Really enjoy watching your podcasts.
Glad to hear it!
Jason,
Just ordered an Anytone AnyTone 878UVII Plus Bundle as I am kind of saying nope to my ft-70d yaesu AnyTone 878UVII Plus Bundle70 handheld not friendly to program unless you use the software and cable from rt systems
NOPE. Pretty much what I said after a week with the Anytone. The programming seemed ridiculously over-complicated, I watched all the Bridgecom vids and even they cocked it up on a few occasions. So returned it and got me a shiny new Wouxun KG-UV9D Plus, which I'm loving ! I'll stick with my FT3D for digital.
The Wouxun is definitely easier to program, but the Anytone isn't hard either. Plus the Wouxun doesn't do DMR
Curious why the FT4D wasn’t mentioned. Is it because Yeasu No longer sells them? Honorable mention.
Do you mean the FT3D? The FT4 is an analog radio and the FT3D is discontinued
@@HamRadio2 sorry, yes I fat-fingered that one. Thanks for the response!
Honorable mention, does the anytone have a 2 meters or 440?
Yes. It's dual band
Honorable mention - I looked at the specs for the OpenSpot4 and OpenSpot4 Pro. Is the OpenSpot4 Pro the device that gives you the ability to translate between digital modes? Thank you.
Honorable Mention.I am working on getting my lic,just retired,and I want a good but mid priced radio if you can name 2 or 3. I know there are some repeaters in my area near Ft.Campbell,Ky but I do not know of anyone who does hams is there a way to find people who are using hams?
Just have a question regarding the R Finder, I only want to purchase once and get it right the first time so it might be a good idea to buy once, the thought of having a mobile phone built in to the radio sound like a fantastic idea. less devices to carry around. dual sim and connecting via the data on the sim. Brilliant tech almost like having a digital multi shack in the palm of your hand. sounds great. I was wondering what telephone operating system would this RFinder radio system be using regarding the mobile phone system. (android or iOS) does it cover all 3 DMR, D-Star & YSF. and does it have WIFI Blue Tooth and GPS capabilities. Honourable Mention Question. Great review helped me to look and investigate before making a serious purchase .
#HonorableMention The RFinder is four times the price of the Anytone and I believe it does not have APRS.
I have a Alinco DJ-MD5X DMR and Yeasu FT5D All Japanese Brands!
The ALINCO DJ-MD5XEG is very good and not very expensive.
Honorable mention to rf-finder
Honorable mentioned what btech 6x2 dmr just came out 6x2 pro?
I hope the next Anytone brings app support to configure/program a codeplug for the radio from a smartphone. Or perhaps APRS information from the radio on a smartphone. Features like these would make the radio immensely more useful in the backcountry. But it's chinese so maybe NOPE.
Good information. Did I already know all this? Nope!
Rfinder will get more than a Honorable Mention (from me) when it has 5G.
My Samsung slows down when it goes to 5G. Seems worthless
@@HamRadio2 Which carrier?
NOPE: OK, everyone says "superheterodyne" are the best. The newish 935 is not, but it looks like tops on the specs charts. Wondering if you can tell us why this is the case, and would you put those that are superheterodyne in front of that one or others like it? Thanks for the videos - just getting into GMRS now and lots to learn!
thanks mike terrific job 73 you number Uno
I have interest Yaesu FT-5DR with color screen and true APRS. What’s happening with Kenwood amateur radio division? Honorable Mention. Thank you Jason for great videos. KE8KYV
Supposedly Kenwood will be back soon but time will tell
Where did you get your ham radio callsign hat
Here in the UK it’s mostly DMR although it has seen a decline in the past few years. No one much on DSTAR or Fusion. On analogue VHF and UHF it’s very quiet. - it’s a shame.
Greeting’s from the UK- M7BVE
What would be the best HT for a sporting event ? Went to the Ohio State Football game, no service and couldn’t communicate with my friends. What would you recommend ? I bought the Motorola T470 but after watching some of your videos I feel they might not preform.
