Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- This brand new high power dual band DMR radio made specifically for amateurs is about to be released. In this video I take a brief look at the radio as it is right now. More features such as scanning and zones are still to be added in firmware updates. The power levels are 10W(8W on UHF)/5W/1W for high, medium, and low respectively.
Series playlist:
• Ailunce HD1
More videos will be added soon.
Buy the Ailunce HD1 here: smarturl.it/ail...
I asked Ailunce if they have any plans to make a colour code and timeslot promiscuous mode for this radio. They told me that if people would find it useful, then they might do.

radiosification...
Nice teaser video :) Promiscuous mode for CC would be fantastic. The connect systems/bfdx CS580 does CC detect out of the box but alas is mono band. Looking forward to further videos on this radio.
Absolutly love how you explained all the menu items. I did not know what Busy Lock was, but you explained it. Thanks!
Great review there Ben, very nice radio crammed with plenty of handy features. I like the VFO alot, a welcome change compared to the MD-380 and other types of radios. Cheers for sharing.
Thanks!
Interesting! I'm looking forward to seeing additional videos on the radio! Thank you!
Looks promising, the MD380 turned out to be a decent working solution for Amateur Radio so I have no doubts this will as well; and I'm a Motorola guy who owns two MD380's and I'm not ashamed to admit it...
I bought an hd1 after watching your videos and it works great, tnx
Great, glad my videos were useful to you
Very interesting video, thank you!
It looks to be really nice!
This looks promising. I was one of the many who got burned by the crappy TYT MD-2017. Can’t wait to get one.
Hi Ialways like to hear about your explanation about the radios. thank you.
Brilliant & really helpful videos , I was wondering if I can use this model for dpmr 446 ?.
No you cannot. There are few legal dPMR446 radios and they're all expensive. Also this radio does DMR not dPMR. They're different modes. You can't use any 5W radio on PMR446, they have to be 0.5W and have a fixed antenna. They also can't allow you to enter a frequency from the keypad I think.
Can't wait. Looks funner to work with over my current retevis rt82...
That looks a LOT like an XPR7550.
I'm intrigued...
I noticed that too. It does seem that Chinese manufacturers often seem to copy the shapes of other, popular radios.
How does it compare in terms of form and function? Does it feel as beefy and durable as a 7550?
Also, can you speak to the audio quality? I see it's available for pre-order now, and I'm seriously thinking about it, but there's not much differentiating literature on it.
Probably not quite as strong as the DP4800 but not far off either. It does feel robust in the hand.
I'll be making a video showing it listening to a repeater so just look out for that if you want to hear what it sounds like. I'm just waiting for them to improve the firmware right now, since it still has some bugs.
Will you be doing a review of the anytone at-d868uv ? Seems a few bugs with this one though perhaps resolved now
If anytone sends me one!
I would like to see this comparison as well. I’m looking for my first DMR radio and those two seems to be closest to my final decision. Thanks for sharing your review. Great stuff 👍
sweet looks nice maybe we will see more user friendly radios for this mode?
I certainly think so. This radio seems to be the easiest to program in the field by a long stretch, so far.
This is a digital radio,right? When using the device how can you set it to transmit the voice in digital way or analog way? Or when you’re scanning the band it should find digital or analog transmissions?
I got the same radio but I have a problem with my radio I try to download the new software on that radio and it's not going through they said it's the cable but I'm running Windows 10 and I just got finished program another radio with that same cable and it went through so I don't know what's going on maybe you can help me.
I brought my new HD-1 to Myrtle beach as i noticed that repeaters in this area seem to be D* or DMR rather then YSF as seems more popular in New Jersey. . The HD-1 seems like a nice radio with one issue. The screen is completely unreadable -at least to me -in bright sunlight. My litttle yaesu is easy to read outdoors but no so much the HD-1
Yeah a lot of people seem to be having the same issue
Constructive comment, perhaps let people know how to change the backlight timeout. It seems to be too short when reading a bit in a manual and then keying the data into the radio.
Thank god. I was really looking forward to the TYT2017 considering how successful the 380/390 was... Then turns out it's a huge piece of crap. REALLY hope that Retevis comes through on this unit!!
This is not retevis
Do not get the MD-2017 by TYT. I got so burned by that POS and so did many others. Thank goodness HRO took mine back even after I missed the return window by a couple of days. Sad thing is that HRO said they were getting them returned more than any radio they had in store.
Ailunce *IS* part of Retevis, though.. So you're wrong.
Whats the best between these;
1. Baofeng DM-1701
2. Ailunce HD-1
3. TYT MD380 or MD390
Really think I will get me one of these ,I think it utilizes the same battery as my GD-55 and would be useful.
Looking at images of the GD-55 online, it definitely doesn't look like they share a battery to me
excellent ,Im using the GD77 at the moment but I love the extra power ,do love the dual band aspect of the GD77 but love the simplicity of programming on the fly with this one ........ Great vid thanks ;-)
I'd hold off if I were you. The radio has some hardware issues at the moment so they'll probably come out with a new hardware version in a few months
Thanks for that I will....Im curently enjoying the GD77 with its latest firmware giving a VFO and user ID import facility. The bugs mostly ironed out now and is a great little number ,down side (takes forever to charge) about 5 hrs . Scan is very quick for a chinese radio in VFO which I like.I can programme this on the fly but need to programme a couple of ghost channels that just get re-Written rather than programming a new channel.
Even though frequency mode is shown in the video, is a user still able to program a channel name instead of the frequency, say if you are listening to a business or local police?
Yes there is a channel mode too. You can program channels just the same as any normal DMR radio.
Thanks for this video. Have been waiting for this radio for a while. One Q - do you have the GPS version? I wonder what use there is for GPS in this radio (apart from probably displaying the coordinates).
No the version I have is not GPS. I don't think having GPS on a radio is really very useful at all. I've never understood why people actually buy GPS versions. It is possible to send GPS data over the air in DMR but it's only really useful in the commercial world for tracking vehicles or resources. You wouldn't really want someone tracking your location all the time in amateur radio, or at least I know I wouldn't.
I have a Yaesu VX-8R, it has APRS support on board, you can use it to connect to the APRS network and if GPS is present (it was an optional external accessory back then) the radio would do exactly this - track & send your location to the APRS network. As far as I can tell the HD1 doesn't have APRS support so I wondered what the use of GPS might be.
I think there are a few networks that support GPS data on DMR but I've never really looked into it so can't tell you much more than that
Thanks for all the info.
Would you please put the stock antenna on a magnet mount base with a antenna analyzer and swr meter for various amateur and commercial frequencies and share the results .
Sorry, I can't do that. I don't have the equipment.
I heard it will have Crossband Rpt ? Just heard Rumers .. Thanks great Video !
It can work on crossband repeaters but cannot be a crossband repeater itself. As far as I know they don't plan to make the radio work as a crossband repeater.
I figured that..... so basically if you are talking on a Cross Band Rpt for example just like any Baofeng Input 146.4444 Output is 446.4444 for example you can program the input and the output individually. So basically it doesn't have a crossband rpt built in. Thanks Sir !
Is ailunce an actual manufacturer or just a private label for a distribution partner? The radio resembles Baofeng i think.
David MacLennan Ailunce is a trademark of Retevis. From the Retevis blog: "Ailunce HD1 is the first radio we R&D (research and develop) mainly for hams. We design the HD1 based on RT3 and collect lots of advice from hams."
They are an actual manufacturer, not a private label. They are developing the HD1 themselves.
Pedro Baez Betancort when does the HD1 come out
King Jay Is already out, is in pre-sale state, unfortunately they are out of stock, so wait to be available at end of november, mid december (aprox)
Great video! Thank you. Can you confirm if the HD-1 supports DMR encryption (basic and enhanced)? Thanks. Can't seem ti find confirmation of that anywhere.
Replied to this on your other comment on my video on MotoTRBO encryption
I asked Ailunce if they have any plans to make a colour code and timeslot promiscuous mode for this radio. They told me that if people would find it useful, then they might do if enough people want it. Should there be a colour code and timeslot promiscous mode or not? Please fill in this single question survey to give your opinion. goo.gl/forms/aX1tQYvDJ4hayk2u1
radiosification se ve bien como funciona la pregunta del millón.
There's no point talking to me in a language I don't understand!
The desirability of such features depends on if there is a color code scanner such as that provided by Ty MD380 Tools. If there is, the promiscuous CC and TS features, while nice, are not essential. In any case the features would be a great convenience so I will answer Yes in the survey.
By the way, I enjoy your DMR videos and benefit from them very much, Thanks!
radiosification the full promiscous mode would convince me to buy HD1. Right now, I have GD77 but it does not have full promuscous mode... vote YES for this feature
You didn't pronounce the name...
I have a Radioddity GD-77
Ian... M6IFZ
hah I know, I was trying to avoid pronouncing it. I've asked them if they could send a recording of how to say it but I'm still waiting lol. GD-77 seems like a pretty good radio too yeah
Random but could the HD1 be used with the tyt and also motorola radios such as the DP4400 if they are on the same frequency
Yes. That's the entire point of having a radio standard like DMR. So that you know they'll talk to each other fine.
@@radiosification thanks sorry for so many questions I'm still trying to get my head round all this stuff
No problem
Can you use this as a cb radio?
When will this radio be available in the UK?
Hey brother, I'm (new) subscriber
proud number 9550!! I can't wait
to check out all your vids and learn
from you!! Welcome to my list!!
Norman
Can you transmit and receive analogue too?
Just bought it online. Playing with the programming software.. whats the difference on digital channels between Work Mode Repeat and Work Mode Double Slot ?
Repeat is when you're using a repeater. Double slot means DCDM - dual capacity direct mode. See here cwh050.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/dcdm.html
radiosification ah ok, thanks. Guessing not many amateur repeaters use it then...
repeaters cannot use it. They already use both timeslots. DCDM is for simplex where you want to be able to use both timeslots on a channel. Normally with DMR simplex the timeslots are ignored, so only one person can talk.
radiosification gotcha thanks you.
What exactly is promiscuous mode ?
Good question. It means the radio does not require a certain parameter to be programmed for it to work. Usually promiscuous mode means that it can hear any group, without you needing to program in the groups you want to hear. But on this radio, there might be a colour code and timeslot promiscuous mode too in the future, so in that case it would not need you to program the timeslot, colour code or group. You would just be able to program the frequency in and hear everything on that frequency.
Thank you !
Could you show how to send and receive sms (APRS) on the hd1 ailunce, tnx nice work
You can't, it doesn't do APRS
@@radiosification
I received a message from someone just trying to return one like a text under messages
Sounds like a text message over DMR. It can do that. You'll find messages in the menu
@@radiosification
Yes I sent a message back but they only see there radio light up with my name but no message. Maybe it only works. Hd1 to another hd1
@@radiosification I don't know ill figure it out somehow tnx pal great videos
Does this radio support roaming?
Hi I am just getting back into Ham Radio after a long break 20yrs lol and I have just purchased a Radioddity gd77 although I have not had a chance to get to use it yet..one thing puzzles me is the DMR ID Number which I got by registering online,can dmr be used via a local repeater without this ID being programmed in 1st ?. I thought this tells the network and the Repeater who you are and without the id being programmed in I would be like a Pirate..any help would be very welcome thanks for the great Videos.
I believe some repeaters only allow IDs in a valid range. You can't use a radio without any ID in so if you use it without programming one in, it'll probably be set to a default ID of 1. It's best to program the ID before using the radio and if you have an ID already then there is no reason not to just use it.
radiosification Cheers thanks for the info Just learning about DMR at the moment 1st job is to get my ID and the Frequencies of the repeaters programmed in...hope to have a bash at DMR sometime this month..
My "TYT MD-380 programming for amateurs" video might be useful. Just copy and paste that into youtube search and you'll find it. It's not the same radio but the programming software looks and works very similarly on most radios so you should be able to follow along with that video most of the time.
Designated Marksman Radio?
When will this Radio be able to buy
it is available to preorder now. See the link in the description.
Hello no time bright ? 73s
Do I need a license for something like this?
Yes you do. The same with all of these radios, Baofengs, etc. If you want radios you can use without a licence then look at radios speficially sold as licence free.
Is there information available on what connection the external microphone uses?
Ht Radio Ham Ailunce
I think it's some kind of Motorola connector
Not sure of the connector. It looks similar to the Motorola DMR stuff but it's not actually the same, I checked. It is also not the same as the Motorola GP series connector
Is there programming software for this yet?
There is, but I'm not sure whether it is for general release or not. If it isn't on their website then I'd guess not, but not completely sure.
Actually it is on their website now. www.retevis.com/resources-center
i cant find this radio anywhere to purchase. can anyone give a link to a site that actually has them in stock
Is this radio have Remote Monitor Duration/radio disable decode? In your opinion of a better device TYT MD-2017 or this HD-1?
I think it has both. It definitely has at least radio disable decode because I remember seeing it in the programming software. Download the CPS and have a look if you want to see what it can do. I don't know really which is better because I haven't used the MD-2017 but the full VFO mode in this radio is very useful so I would probably say I prefer this one.
THANK YOU!
you're welcome
HOW IT WORKS IN ANALOG MODULE, RX/TX?
I don't understand your question. And no need to use all capitals.
Can you compare hd 1 and dp 4800 which one is better?(rf perform)
I haven't tested them because I don't have appropriate test equipment but I'd guess that the DP4800 would have much better RF performance. I've already found that the HD1 is desensitised easily by nearby transmissions.
radiosification ok thanks and the ailunce hd 1 memory channel scan as same as baofeng radios?
I in the uk just got it can you do a vid how to set up
I already did one if you look around for it. It's on UA-cam and you can find it very easily with the search function
Wen i set it up wen i talk it say repeater fail what i doing wrong
Just checking do you have an amateur radio licence?
No
So what are you trying to transmit on? You're not allowed to use amateur repeaters without a licence.
Nice, BTW, how much is that?
Check the description
HOW DOES IT WORK ON OUTDOOR ANTENNA?
I DON'T KNOW. WHY WOULD I USE A HANDHELD ON AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA
@@radiosificationBECAUSE PROMISCUOUS MODE
Next time set display to stay on when doing this !!!
How many chanells can be in 1 zone?
I don't think there is any limit
nice to work you on the air the other day regards 2e0iqj
Pretty funny how you recognised my voice. Yeah it was great to talk on air, I hope we will make a contact again sometime
should be going up to a high spot today and do another range test of my 4m/2m radio hope to get capture some video
I'm not sure if I want to publish my callsign on UA-cam at the moment but if you want to just try and make a contact off video anyway I should be free depending on the time. Have you got zello? my username on there is radiosification if you want to use it to let me know when you're on the air.
I'm going to a flying club where people can fly model air craft helicopters and drones etc. as long no one else is there apart from me and my friend who's a member I should be able to play radio. if other people are there and have a model crash out I will get the blame.
Do you no of any MD380 software for MAC??
No I don't know any, sorry. I'll leave my zello on.
I can use for mobile phone?
No
Does it have a tpt. Sound
No it doesn't
Can I get a better antenna
yes, but it wont be Waterproof.
Why digital voice? It sounds horribel, why?
Digital voice is the new most popular thing these days. There would not be much point in them just making another FM only radio, as there are literally hundreds of models of them already. And anyway if you don't like DMR then you don't have to use it. This radio does FM too.
I’ve always get that way too. Digital sounds so robotic. However you get accustomed to it.
ericragan
Thanks is hd1 easy than tyt-2017 to program
Way too big.
This radio sucks the receiver is terrible. Save your money by something good.
This is a digital radio,right? When using the device how can you set it to transmit the voice in digital way or analog way? Or when you’re scanning the band it should find digital or analog transmissions?
Yes it's digital. DMR specifically. You set which mode to use. It cannot auto detect, so you have to select the right one. This radio is for amateur radio use though so if you don't have a licence, don't buy this radio. Look at licence free radios instead.
