Anytone D578 Pro Unboxing and Initial Setup

In this video we show and discuss the unboxing and initial setup of the Anytone D578 Pro. The D578 Pro is a Part 90 certified commercial radio that supports the GMRS repeater frequencies needed to operate on North Georgia GMRS Network. It is a popular choice with our members as a mobile unit for vehicle installations or even as a base station at home.

A brief unboxing of the Anytone D578 Pro is shown, as well as the detailed initial setup using Anytone Options software to unlock the keypad and set the correct bands. We then jump into the Anytone CPS (computer programming software) and work through creating and setting up a sample GMRS code plug for the radio to get you on the air.

Many thanks to our friends at Chatt Radio in Chattanooga, Tennessee for loaning us the radio used in this demonstration. Chatt Radio is a great source for all your amateur and ham radio, as well as GMRS radio, emergency weather radio, antenna, coax, and accessory needs.
