Hytera MD-782

[JASII]

I am starting to casually look for a commercial land mobile DMR UHF radio that can be FPP.

I want it to be the low split from 406-470 MHz. (GMRS and amateur.)

I would like it to be capable of both narrow-band and wide-band channels.

I have looked at the Motorola XPR 5550 series, but it looks like there are some shortcomings with the FPP feature.

Kenwood has the NX-3000 and NX-5000 line, but it looks like the FPP option will work on narrow-band, but not wide-band channels.

I just found out about the Hytera MD-782, so here I am.

Is the Hytera MD-782 still capable of FPP under the most current firmware?

Can both narrow-band and wide-band analog channels be programmed, either with software or FPP?

With regards to scanning channels, is it limited to 16 channels that can be scanned?

CPS allows for FPP on my 782 but I'm on vacation for 2 weeks and won't be able to test it.

While I do have a md785, I have never used fpp on it unlike my handhelds. I suspect you will need a speaker mic with a full keypad to use fpp (from my experiences with the handhelds). These do exist, but I don’t have one!

if you can find the cps, will answer some of your questions. The fpp does have limits. If I remember right, you need some pre-programmed ‘scratch’ channels that you can re-programme. Some elements you can change, not others. Think you need some analogue channels and digital ones to change. Not sure, but perhaps the same trick will work for WB/NB, sure it’s not possible to change bandwidth in FPP.

Example, a hp685 on analogue will allow in fpp chan: frequency (send and receive), ctcss/dcs Tx and R, channel name
digital:radio id, Frequencies, slot, colour code, TX ID, receive group, channel name

My PD682 and X1P only let me change freq in DMR. I can change CTCSS in analog, is that because I spell analog differently than you?

US regional difference for those with spelling challenges Probably didn't want to confuse you lot with colour codes
Possibly also a difference between PDs and HPs. Don't have an X1P any more but still have a PD985, can check what that does. . .
