ANYSECU Android 11 POC Radio 4G-W2 Pro N61 Upgrade Version 2+16GB Mobile Radio W2plus pro IP Network PTT Radio Work with ZELLO/Real PTT

First of All, I want to say that this is not a Radio at all. A network device, Yes. The mere fact that it has an external microphone resembling a true RF radio doesn't even qualify it to be called a radio. No pun intended. It is a network device resembling a phone in a Box.Then you ask yourself, Why would you bother buying it?Well I found it interesting and innovating.I must admit I like the simplicity to work it. I mean it is not different than a cell phone from 3-4 years ago. Android 7 with a touch screen.As for the apps.I got rid of that Zello app as I have no use for it. Mostly because it hogs the PTT feature on other apps.As a Ham, I installed 3 apps that I use the most.EcholinkDvswitchPeanutThey all work as intended and this is the reason why I recommend this device to Hams that have some disability that cant get on their vehicles or the HOA don't allow them to have an antenna in their roof.I have only tested using this device using home WiFi and it performs excellent.One caveat, the volume on most applications I used cannot be controlled via the On/Off volume knob.GPS was not even configured as I prefer to not use it.I recommend this device for my Fellow Hams.=========Update=================I tested this device on a Mexican Cell Carrier (TelCel) and it works just fine on a regular prepaid account.Service is good in Tijuana as well as International roaming in USA.

This little IP radio is cool. I'm glad I added it to my radio bench.I don't use Zillow, I simply got it for echolink and I love having it, much better then using a phone or laptop. It gives the feeling of using a real RF radio.Because it is an IP radio I had to save the money to buy it, (I'm only allowed to spend so much on radios), but I'm glad I did eventually get it.There is a issue with using the chat box on Echolink because the radio is not meant for texting, however for me it is not something I miss with Echolink, I'm not big into the chatbox, I'd rather use voice.Since I am using it in the ham shack I just hooked it up to my 30amp power supply, this did create an issue with the clock because I turn off the power supply when I shut down my radios. To correct this I bought a wall wart adapter. That problem will not be an issue in a vehicle, but if your adding it to your shack it should be considered when buying.The sound is good on the unit, nice mix of base, good and clear.When I did put echolink on I did have to change the volume knob settings, echolink needs to be set in the volume to media or else the radio adjusts volume for phone calls.How to do it can be found on the echolink web page..

For two years this unit performed without issues on the Verizon network in Washington State, USA. A recent change to the Verizon network (elimination of the legacy 3G network) may have also affected the ability of this 4G device to connect. Verizon states it is NOT supported, though it worked previously.**Use caution and check prior to affiliating it with Verizon's USA data network. This unit may not work.

As I've only had the product a few days and will most likely not use it to it's full potential, I'm liking what I see so far. Item seems easy to setup, instructions(suck) too hard to read type is too small. Just loaded Echolink on today and zillow. As I add more apps, I'll provide more feedback.

The audio is much better than any phone, half way up its 2x louder than any phone and crisp clean sound. It's made very well, It does not look or feel cheap. People tell me I sound loud and clear. The wifi works great, speed test are fast. The display is fine.You can download apps from google play store and listen to music, watch movies,videos, and more. No issues at all , well worth $199.00 I highly recommend this radio.

The idea of these are pretty cool, however keep in mind a cellphone can basically do everything one of these units can do. The only benefit to the unit is that it adds a PTT and frees up your cellphone so you don't have to drain your cellphone battery.I am a ham and was able to use BlueDV, DVSwitch, and Echolink without much issue. DVSwitch worked really well which gives you access to DStar, DMR, P25, YSF and NXDN. Only major downside is that it requires an internet connection (which is a given) so you need cellphone coverage. I had the radio installed up on my dash of my F150, so it had a clear shot out the window. The connection was very spotty at best, not sure if that was the service or the 4G receiver. I even attempted to just hotspot my phone and attempted to connect in that way. I suppose this could be different for everyone as cell coverage is different.I also had issues with the Google Play Store allowing me to download apps. When I had it in my house it worked without any issue. But when I put it in the truck it stopped working. I contacted support and they tried a few things and then I dealt directly with the seller who tired to have me update the firmware. Unfortunately I never could get Google Play to connect. There is a code you can use to unlock the Google Play Store, it was confirmed that it was unlocked.

This Network Radio is the best one I've ever had. The build quality is absolutely amazing, the microphone looks and feels great in the hand and it is super easy to mount and wire up. The customer service from Catherine Ma and the people at Anysecu is top notch. The New Jersey warehouse was out of stock and they promptly messaged me letting me know they are sending it DHL Express from Hong Kong to make sure it arrives on time. Ordered it late friday night and got it Thursday. There is a Facebook page full of people from all over the world that love this radio, give it a try!

Works fine with WiFi but can't get it to connect using Zello on Consumer Cellular network. I will up the stars on this if I am ever able to find a decent user manual that will help me get it to work with my Cellular network. It is fully functional as a phone. Can send and receive voice phone calls. I have data on my phone plan.
