I bought bleeding edge. I would expect a little better directions. Nothing on their site or the vendorsdistributor's site. I got a 23 page user manual which basically had more specs and what the buttons where for.
Now I would like software and a PDF that's a little more detailed please.Unboxing: standard packaging, battery, charge stand, belt clip, antenna, and the radio. The radio was charged I would say half way.Just need that softwaredirections. So close.Written byon Sep 18, 2018. I've owned this radio for about a month, and learned to program the Channels and Settings manually - mainly because we're an OSX (not a Windows) household. Know that there is not a Mac version of the programming software available, at least that I'm aware of.Overall, I'm satisfied with this as a first radio. It's helped me power through the steep learning curve. The unit seems well made, reports are generally very good, and I was able to muddle through setup over the course of a day or two along with a new OpenSpot2 hotspot.
I've only connected directly to a DMR repeater once - the rest of the time has been through the hotspot here at home.Here are the gotchas:1) Documentation, videos, and help are sorely lacking. Yes you can find some more detailed information (see other posts about the Commercial reseller that has manuals) - but do not expect to have anything useful packaged with the radio, beyond a description of the controls. I purchased an Alinco vs. A cheaper Chinese radio, hoping to avoid this very issue.2) Processor power appears to be very limited - as audio cuts out on receive as you scroll through the menus.3) Just not a super intuitive menu for setup. But, I will say this has as much to do with DMR being a Commercial technology adapted to Amateur Radio use - and the associated public-sector use cases that drive the features on the radio. Features most hams will never find a use for.4) The software that you can download (again you have to search around for this software) to load your code plugs is lacking in documentation - so plan on making mistakes and suffering a bit of frustration as you build your code plugs.
There are a few videos on YouTube stepping you through this, made by other hams - but nothing decent that I can find from Alinco.5) For hotspot use, I'd recommend getting a super compact Rubber Duck vs. The big one that comes with the unit. I've replaced mine with a Diamond that's about 3 inches long for hotspot use.Written byon Mar 10, 2019.
