AnyTone D878UV Firmware and CPS Update History

Important Notice: Firmware Update

After updating the firmware, it is necessary to perform a reset. Power off the radio, then power it on while holding the PTT and PF1 buttons simultaneously. The radio will display "MCU Reset, Please Wait". Do not turn off the radio during this process.

Refer to the Separate FW Update Instructions for detailed guidance.

USB Drivers

Many users have found that the D878 radio USB connects to Windows 10 without needing the AnyTone virtual drivers. Simply plugging in the radio and turning it on may allow Windows to find the driver. If you encounter issues with Windows 10 loading a USB driver, consult the separate Virtual USB Driver Installation Instructions.

Firmware Update D878UV V3.08N (dated 2025-6-14)

Change List

• Resolved an issue in V3.07 firmware where the monitor function would open the speaker to white noise.
• Resolved an issue in V3.07 firmware where the radio would freeze when using a different background image.
• Resolved an issue in V3.07 firmware where setting the radio to A+D or D+A would result in no reception, even with analog monitor not working.

Firmware Update D878UV V3.06 (dated 2025-1-23)

Change List

• Added Maidenhead locator display in the GPS data. When GPS is locked, the Maidenhead locator displays under the Sat and Lat data.
• Allows APRS Transmit under the Satellite menu. Press PTT+PF2 to transmit APRS. APRS must be set up in CPS > Tool > GPS Satellite Data Update > AprsTxFreq(Hz).
• Allows Arm CTCSS transmit under the Satellite menu. Press PTT+PF1 to transmit ArmCTC or DCS. Arm CTC or Arm DCS must be set up in CPS > Tool > GPS Satellite Data Update > Arm CTC or Arm DCS first.
• Separated the color code for TX and RX in channel settings. Loading an old .rdt file into CPS will prompt a screen asking if TX CC should be the same as RX CC. Selecting "Yes" will make TX CC = RX CC.

A prompt appears when importing data: "Since the old version of the data does not have TXCC, are you sure if TXCC=RXCC when importing the data" with options "Yes (Y)" and "No (N)".

• CPS > Optional Setting > GPS/Ranging > Sate Aos limit: allows setting the Elevation/Degrees for the satellite.
• Resolved an issue where APRS TX was not working in V3.05 firmware.

• Satellite function: Improved the issue where the radio would get stuck during predicting.
• Satellite function: Allows the radio to stay in the satellite menu, ignoring the menu exit time setting. The radio exits the Satellite menu only by pressing the return key.
• Satellite function: The CPS > Tool > Satellite Data Updating page is updated to allow input of different download links for satellite information updates.
• In CPS > Digital > Master ID, allows setting a Master ID for the radio. In the radio menu > Setting > Channel Set > Radio ID, selecting the master ID in a channel makes all channels use that master ID, providing a public setting for all channels. This is useful when temporarily lending out radios.
• In the radio menu > GPS > GPS Info, allows saving the GPS position to a fixed beacon.
• In CPS > Optional Setting > Key function, added the "ANA SQL" setting, which allows setting the analog squelch level via side keys.

Change List

• Improved scan speed, ignoring some burst signals.
• Modified SMS to support Text Capture on BM.
• Modified the CPS to prohibit reading AES/ARC4 encryption from the radio and codeplug.

Note on AES/ARC4 Encryption: To avoid issues, it is recommended to save the codeplug in 3.02 CPS as an .rdt file, perform the firmware upgrade, and then reset the radio. When using 3.03 CPS, AES keys may appear as 'xxxx', but they will still function when writing the codeplug. For safety, re-inputting AES keys in CPS before loading to the radio is suggested.

• CPS > Optional setting > Key function: added the "dim shut" function to shut off the radio backlight and LED completely.
• Modified the firmware to make the AES encryption have a variable Vector(IV) instead of a fixed "12345678".

Change List

• Improved issue where the radio would grab a TG during the repeater's Call Hold Off time.
• Improved issue where "GPS information doesn't display when using a programmed 'GPS info' key when only analog channels are in use".
• Resolved issue where channels programmed as "Simplex" and "Dual Slot" would become "Repeater" after saving the codeplug or programming into the radio and reopening the saved codeplug or reading from the radio.
• Improved issue where "By receiving Dmr in Simplex and Double Slot mode, several times the demodulated audio of the first word is missing".
• CPS > Channel > Analog: R5toneBot, R5tone Eot, allows setting different 5Tone PTT IDs for each channel.
• Resolved issue where "By composing a 5 tone using Manual Dial (Book, Manual Dial, typing Input ID and pressing PTT, the "stop code" defined in 5 tone setting is not considered as silence (stop code and stop time) but as a tone".
• When 5Tone > Beep Tone & Respond is enabled, the radio will respond with its ID.

• Improved issue where "By configuring the 5 tones selective call for different call types, starting from when the RF carrier is on pushing PTT, the timing of the beginning of 5 tones sequence does not correspond to the summation of pauses configured in 5 tone setting windows in the CPS. Unexpected delay is also present using DTMF and 2 tone".
• CPS > Channel > TDMA adaptive renamed to Slot suit.
• CPS > Hot key: added the "Channel Set" hot-key choice, previously only on the 578, to the 878.
• CPS > Digital > Talk Groups: allows entry of talk group numbers up to a maximum of 16777215.

Change List

• Improved the send message issue when both roaming and GPS are active.
• Added notification in the help section for Group Call hold time setting and Private Call hold time setting in CPS.
• Added "CTCSS/DCS Scan" in key function. Assigning a key with "CTCSS/DCS Scan" allows the function to be turned on by pressing the key. This function is valid only for analog channels with CTCSS/DCS settings. When this function is ON, if an analog channel with CTCSS setting receives a signal with unmatched CTCSS, the radio will start scanning the CTCSS data base. Once the CTCSS data matches the received CTCSS, audio will be output. Press PTT to reply and save the data, or press the MENU key to save the data and EXIT key to exit.
• Note: When a channel is set with CTCSS, it scans the CTCSS database. When set with DCS, it scans the DCS database. If CTCSS/DCS is not set, the radio will not start the CTCSS/DCS scan.

Change List

• Optional Setting > Display > Standby Char Color: allows setting different colors.
• Resolved an issue where the radio continued to receive when switching from TS1 to TS2. (Issue only in VFO mode: During reception on TS1, changing to TS2 continued reception, or sometimes audio dropped but ID was received).

If short RF radio Rx issues interrupt background music too soon, a delay from 30ms, 1s, 1.5s, or 2s can be set to avoid false RF radio BT Rx. An example: user PTT bursts to activate a repeater ("kerchunking") may cause the RF radio BT Rx to lock onto the automobile audio and stop music when there is no actual RF Radio BT conversation.
• Added "CTCSS/DCS set" in CPS > Optional Setting > Key function, allowing prompt access to CTCSS/DCS settings.
• Modified "BT Mic Gain" default setting to 1.
• Made the TOT beep independent of the public setting; the beep occurs when the TOT function is on.

• Resolved an issue where SSID in APRS did not update when opening a new codeplug.
• Fixed an error where "auto repeater offset frequency" settings were not being imported.
• Corrected band limits for Amateur Europe 0003.
