Anytone 868: Codeplug Uk Hot!
The AnyTone AT-D868UV is a staple for DMR (Digital Mobile Radio) users in the UK, largely due to its versatility and the availability of pre-configured "codeplugs"—the configuration files that tell the radio which frequencies, talk groups, and zones to use. The Core Components of a UK Codeplug
To build an effective UK codeplug, you need to understand the networks available: anytone 868 codeplug uk
- Go to Edit > RX Group List > Add.
- Name the list "UK National."
- Add the following group contacts: TG 9, TG 2350, TG 2352, TG 2353, TG 13.
- Assign this RX Group List to every repeater channel you programmed.
- Go to Edit > Channel > Add.
- Channel Type: "DMR"
- RX/TX Frequency: Enter as above.
- Bandwidth: 12.5kHz
- Colour Code: As per repeater.
- Time Slot: As per repeater (often TS2 for TG9/2350).
- Contact: Start with "TG 9" (Local).
: Provides dedicated codeplugs and CSV files specifically for the 868 and 878 models. This is excellent if you primarily use the FreeDMR network. Anytone.org The AnyTone AT-D868UV is a staple for DMR
- UK Simplex Calling (433.500 MHz) – CTCSS 82.5Hz (per RSGB guidance)
- PMR446 (For monitoring only) – 446.00625 to 446.19375
- Emergency / SOTA channels (145.500, 145.525)
- UK General (Analogue): 2m (144-146 MHz) and 70cm (430-440 MHz) bands for FM voice.
- UK Simple Light (Analogue): 446 MHz licence-free channels (often stored for monitoring or emergency backup).
- DMR (Digital Mobile Radio): The digital side, including the UK wide-area repeaters (UK Echolink Network, Phoenix, GB7, etc.) and the dynamic BrandMeister talkgroups.
A codeplug is a configuration file that contains essential information such as frequencies, tone settings, and other parameters that define how a two-way radio operates. It acts as a digital key that unlocks the full potential of the radio, enabling users to access specific channels, set privacy tones, and utilize advanced features. Go to Edit > RX Group List > Add
Analogue Integration: The Often-Overlooked Half
Despite the digital trend, VHF/UHF analogue remains vital in the UK for simplex, legacy repeaters, and emergency backup. A solid codeplug dedicates equal care to analogue channels. The UK band plan dictates that 144.000–146.000 MHz is for exclusive amateur use; thus, the simplex calling channel on 2m is 145.500 MHz (FM), and on 70cm it is 433.500 MHz. These should be in every codeplug’s top zone.
