After my last video about the Anytone AT-D168UV HT Radio, a brand new DMR HT from Anytone, I received lots of comments saying that it was, "the same radio as the Alinco". So let's take a look at comparing those 2 models today.

I got a battery box from Redodo but I didn't think it had all of the items and ports that it needed, especially since the box itself will easily carry a 100ah battery. So I hacked it! Let's take a look at what I did.

During the month of November 2024, Redodo is running a sale for up to 8% off of most of their inventory. Find details here - https://www.redodopower.com/?ref=fXMdlD0D Coupon Code HAMRADIO will save you 6% after the Black Friday Sale ends.
