Speaker 1: going on with my videos. Once that list reaches twenty thousand,
Speaker 1: I will be doing a giveaway of another HF radio
Speaker 1: sign up today and thank you for the support. After
Speaker 1: I did the video about this new nytne at D
Speaker 1: one six ' eight radio that was just released, I
Speaker 1: had a lot of people in the comments of that
Speaker 1: premiere video and a lot of people in the comments
Speaker 1: section afterwards saying that it looks like the same radio
Speaker 1: as the Linko MD five. It's not show the differences
Speaker 1: between the MD five. Apparently there's three generations of MD five,
Speaker 1: which I didn't know that I knew there were two,
Speaker 1: but there's a third one, and I'm gonna show the
Speaker 1: comparison between I mean that a Linko and this brand
Speaker 1: new D one six eight UV from any tone. Let's
Speaker 1: go first things first, I will say that I am
Speaker 1: about ninety five percent sure that any tone makes that
Speaker 1: a Linko radio Okay, I'm about ninety five percent sure
Speaker 1: because the menus of programming almost everything is the same,
Speaker 1: so I'm pretty sure that Enleinco doesn't even make that radio.
Speaker 1: But regardless of that, the A linko is a really
Speaker 1: cool model and I'm glad that I have it, and
Speaker 1: I learned something about it today while researching this video.
Speaker 1: The one that I have, Well, let me show you
Speaker 1: this overhead shot first, because I'm gonna show you what
Speaker 1: I've got and show you where we're gonna go from there. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is the any tone on the left, and these
Speaker 1: are the two and linkos that I have on the right.
Speaker 1: This is I believe the original one, which is a
Speaker 1: DGA DJ MD five TGP Tango Golf Papa is a
Speaker 1: model number there, and this one is a dj D
Speaker 1: five xtg X ray Tangle Golf. Okay, so if you
Speaker 1: google either one of those model numbers, I've got MD
Speaker 1: five TGP right there, which is I believe the first one. Okay,
Speaker 1: so it doesn't really come up on this top list here,
Speaker 1: but if you click on dx Engineering here it says
Speaker 1: not available. The reason it's not available is because it's
Speaker 1: it's no longer in production. Okay. And then if we
Speaker 1: google the next one, which is the X ray tangle Golf, okay,
Speaker 1: X ray tangle Golf again DX Engineering right here, X
Speaker 1: ray Tangle Golf not available. And I can't find this
Speaker 1: one anywhere else either. So those two models I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure have been discontinued. But if you google either one
Speaker 1: of those this sponsored post at the top of Google
Speaker 1: right here, you get DX Engineering has it, but gigabarts
Speaker 1: has it. We're gonna go to the Gigapart's website. They're
Speaker 1: both the same prize two eighty nine ninety five. This
Speaker 1: is the XLT model and it says right here Gen
Speaker 1: three Gen three on Gigabarts's website. So and they're the same.
Speaker 1: These two models that I have are the exact same size,
Speaker 1: exactly the same size. In fact, I didn't even know
Speaker 1: which I didn't couldn't even tell them apart until I
Speaker 1: took the battery off the back and read the model
Speaker 1: number on the back of it. So I don't know
Speaker 1: what the differences are between the three models Gen one, two,
Speaker 1: and three. But we're going to do a comparison of
Speaker 1: Gen three today to this new NYTNE D one six
Speaker 1: eight UV Radio First. Today's video is sponsored by ham

Speaker 1: and thank you for sponsoring this video. Okay, so this
Speaker 1: I wanted to do a side by side because people
Speaker 1: were saying, oh, it looks just like the the A linko,
Speaker 1: And I know for a fact it's not the a
Speaker 1: linko because the A Linko actually looks more to me
Speaker 1: like the any Tone eight six eight than it does
Speaker 1: this one. And I know for a fact that the
Speaker 1: that this new any Tone is not the a Linko
Speaker 1: because the fonts are different, the layouts different, everything's just
Speaker 1: a little bit different. And it uh you know, it's
Speaker 1: just it's just not the same radio. This screen right here,
Speaker 1: it looks like those screens are about Yeah, those screens
Speaker 1: are about the same size, but the you know, the
Speaker 1: fonts are different. And again I'm pretty sure that this,
Speaker 1: this Alenco model is made by any Tone. Anyway. We've
Speaker 1: got two buttons below, oh the PTT on both of them.
Speaker 1: This Alenko, this the new generation of a Linko. I
Speaker 1: don't really know. We're gonna look here in a second
Speaker 1: and see. But this guy, this new inny Tone is
Speaker 1: USBC programmable and chargeable with that right there. This older
Speaker 1: version of the Alenco is micro USB. That's a micro
Speaker 1: USB port right there. So I suspect that the new
Speaker 1: XLT version is probably USB C, I would guess, but
Speaker 1: I don't really know. We're gonna take a look at
Speaker 1: that page in a second. But anyway, so it's not
Speaker 1: exactly the same radio. Maybe the differences are so slight
Speaker 1: that you don't care. They're both about the same size.
Speaker 1: The antennas are about The antenna on the A Linko
Speaker 1: is much taller. It's got a high gain intenna on it.
Speaker 1: But the fonts are clearly different. The software is clearly different,
Speaker 1: even though the menus kind of look the same like that.
Speaker 1: So you've got those differences there. Again, I don't have
Speaker 1: the latest version of the ALNKO, so I can't tell
Speaker 1: you for certain, but the form factor is different enough
Speaker 1: where I was like, no, it's not really the same radio,
Speaker 1: but it's awfully close. So if we go over here
Speaker 1: and look at the gigaparts website, Okay, we go down
Speaker 1: through the list here of features two slot tenum A
Speaker 1: for DMR Tier one and Tier two. That's actually not true.
Speaker 1: That's just what they say to not confuse people. It's
Speaker 1: all dm R Tier two. Okay, there is no dm
Speaker 1: R Tier one uh one point seven seven inch TFT
Speaker 1: color display. So let's go over here to the Bridge
Speaker 1: comm website and check out the D one six eight
Speaker 1: pre order. Now, next shipment is expected in December. They
Speaker 1: already sold out all of those ones they had for October.
Speaker 1: And I don't really see there's not a It gives
Speaker 1: a lot of different things here, but it does not
Speaker 1: tell me a screen size. Oh okay, there it is
Speaker 1: right there, exactly the same size one point seven to
Speaker 1: seven inch TFT. It may be that these radios are
Speaker 1: not exactly the same, but the differences are so small
Speaker 1: that you might not care. So here is the go
Speaker 1: going back to the a Linko GPS built in APS
Speaker 1: support for digital and analog, a APRS support for digital analog.
Speaker 1: I wonder what that means. Repeater roaming SQL function a
Speaker 1: S two and fifty six bit encryption, which is included
Speaker 1: with every DMR radio, but we don't use in ham
Speaker 1: radio VFO memory switch output between five yt two point
Speaker 1: five to one and zero point two watts, four thousand
Speaker 1: memory channels, five hundred thousand digital contacts, SMS and digital
Speaker 1: mode every pretty much every DMR radio will do that.
Speaker 1: Recording in analog and digital CTCSS, DCS, dtmfone two and
Speaker 1: five tone a seventeen million amp hour lithium on battery,
Speaker 1: and this is part ninety certified. Again. This is the
Speaker 1: Alenko dj MD five XLT duel band with GPS. It
Speaker 1: does not say anything about APRS. It says GPS in
Speaker 1: the title. Gen three two hundred and eighty nine dollars
Speaker 1: as compared to the a Linko D one sixty eight,
Speaker 1: which is only one ninety nine, so it's already another
Speaker 1: seventy dollars cheaper and we go down here and we
Speaker 1: look at this one as you if if you watch
Speaker 1: my last video, this one comes with two batteries, a
Speaker 1: small and a large battery. I'm not sure why you'd
Speaker 1: ever need the small battery unless you just want to
Speaker 1: carry a backup with you, and that's cool. That's cool.
Speaker 1: But it comes with two batteries. It comes with two intennas. Okay,
Speaker 1: So the battery over here on the Alinko is seventeen
Speaker 1: hundred million amp hours and the two batteries on the
Speaker 1: any Tone is eighteen hundred and twenty six hundred. So
Speaker 1: the smallest battery on the any Tone one six eight
Speaker 1: is already better than the Alinko. Okay. It's got four
Speaker 1: power levels, the same five two point five one and
Speaker 1: zero point two auto scanning, VFO tuning, same size display,
Speaker 1: twelve point five and twenty five killer hurts band with
Speaker 1: on analog. In other words, to do FM narrowban, twelve
Speaker 1: point five narrow band digital DMR that's normal, four hours
Speaker 1: of recording digital and analog, supports tones, CTCSS, DCS and
Speaker 1: all that kind of good stuff. Comes with two antennas
Speaker 1: and APR. And you know it's advertised with eight PRS.
Speaker 1: The other one's not advertised with APRS in the title.
Speaker 1: It just says with GPS. So I think maybe there
Speaker 1: are some videos that need to be made about APRS
Speaker 1: on this new any Tone and maybe a Linko too,
Speaker 1: if I can get my hands on one of those
Speaker 1: new models of a Linko and see what it is.
Speaker 1: Because it says APRS. What does it say? It says
Speaker 1: APRS Support for Digital and Analog APRS. Okay, well, it's
Speaker 1: seventy dollars cheaper. The new Anytone is seventy dollars cheaper.
Speaker 1: The fonts are different, the screen size is the same.
Speaker 1: It comes with two antennas, two batteries. The smallest of
Speaker 1: the two batteries is even larger than the a Linko batteries.
Speaker 1: So in my opinion, the any ton is a better
Speaker 1: radio because I, like I said earlier, I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: that the Linko is actually made by any Tone. So
Speaker 1: some of you who are in the chat that said
Speaker 1: it's the same radio, it's not. It's not, but it's
Speaker 1: so close that I don't think it matters. I mean,
Speaker 1: so I will concede to you. Okay, you know what,
Speaker 1: You're right, it's the same radio. It's it's not because
Speaker 1: because it has USB. It didn't say anything about on
Speaker 1: the gigabarts page about the newest Linko having USBC, no
Speaker 1: idea what that is. The older version I have has
Speaker 1: micro USB. Now micro USB is better than proprietary charging
Speaker 1: platform or desktop cradle only charging platform in my opinion.
Speaker 1: The micro USB is going to be slower, but it's
Speaker 1: still more universal than a proprietary charger. But the any Tone,
Speaker 1: which is seventy dollars cheaper, comes with more options, has
Speaker 1: USB programming in USB charging, so why not? But you're right.
Speaker 1: Somebody also said in the chat that you know, they
Speaker 1: really need to do something new. They're just kind of
Speaker 1: regurgitating the same thing over and over again. Any Tone
Speaker 1: being the they in that statement, and I think you're right.
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I would love to see a
Speaker 1: brand new Anytone, either mobile or HT, dual band maybe
Speaker 1: even try band DMR radio with some new features we
Speaker 1: haven't seen yet at all, removable face on a mobile radio,
Speaker 1: two twenty tryband on the on the H which it
Speaker 1: does not come with. The mobile radio comes with two twenty,
Speaker 1: the tryband HT does not, So I'd like to see
Speaker 1: some new stuff. Like that, even in nine hundred megahertz,
Speaker 1: because there's actually some nine hundred megahertz. There's ninety to
Speaker 1: ninety five percent of all DMR repeaters in the United
Speaker 1: States are UHF for forty there's some VHF two meters,
Speaker 1: and there's some UHF nine hundred megahertz DMR repeaters. Also,
Speaker 1: I've got two or three of them here around me,
Speaker 1: nine hundred megahertz DMR repeaters that motor Rola makes. Why
Speaker 1: not do a tryband VHF UHF and nine hundred megahertz
Speaker 1: HT and or mobile radio for DMR, because then you
Speaker 1: could hit all three of them, all three of the
Speaker 1: most popular bands. Two twenty on DMR is cool because
Speaker 1: you can use simplex. There's not any two twenty DMR
Speaker 1: repeaters unless you build kind of like hack one together
Speaker 1: with a bridge coom repeater, which is totally possible, but
Speaker 1: I'm not aware of any of those that are online.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to build your own one of those
Speaker 1: to put it online so that just you and a
Speaker 1: couple of your buddies who actually have the try band
Speaker 1: DMR radio for any tone can use it. Because there
Speaker 1: are not very widely used but nine hundred megahertz is
Speaker 1: widely used and you can do analog and DMR with that.
Speaker 1: So here you go. Any tone, here's a new idea
Speaker 1: for you. Do a tryband that's two meters VHF four
Speaker 1: forty uhf and nine hundred megahertz UHF triband radio with
Speaker 1: a detachable face on the mobile radio. Check out these
Speaker 1: videos over here which YouTube thinks you want to watch next?
