The quickest way to get on air is to find a pre-built “Anytone 868 codeplug UK” from a trusted source. Places to look include:
: You cannot transmit on digital networks without a unique 7-digit ID. You must apply for this online by providing your UK amateur radio license.
| Channel | Frequency | Use | |---------|-----------|-----| | 145.500 | 2m Calling | Simplex – monitored sporadically | | 433.500 | 70cm Calling | Simplex – quieter | | CB CH19 (RX) | 27.78125 | UK CB (AM/FM – if radio supports) | | Marine 16 (RX) | 156.800 | Distress – monitor only |
If you are on Facebook, search for and request to join. Look in the "Files" section. You will usually find codeplugs labeled for the 868/878 that are current for the current year.
Crucially, the D868UV handles analogue squelch and CTCSS (Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System) differently from digital. The codeplug should set (but not necessarily decoding) on all analogue repeater channels to ensure access, while simplex channels should use carrier squelch (CSQ) to hear all callers. The operator must also input the correct ±600 kHz (2m) or ±1.6 MHz (70cm) shift for repeaters. A common error is copying a DMR codeplug and leaving analogue channels with no offset, rendering them useless for repeater access.
