Update 2026-02-17:
I have heard from several sources that the satellite mode/doppler is not working in full duplex. You need to program the radio with fixed memory channels for RX and TX, just like the old Kenwood HTs.
I hope that AnyTone will get a firmware update in the future.
On YouTube several videos about the new Anytone AT-D890UV HT has been published that this new HT should have “real” Full Duplex capability – that is can transmit on VHF and receive an UHF without any desense.
In this video W8CPT demonstrates it’s full-duplex capability on SO-50:
Also there are in-built satellite functions with tracking and doppler control but it is not clear at this moment if this function supports full duplex doppler control.
Wimo says:
A special (and rare) highlight: the radio supports full-duplex crossband operation (FM). While transmitting on the 2m band, the receiver on the 70cm band remains active and is not muted.
From ANS-046 Feb 2026:
A recently released HT may be the best full-duplex HT available for FM satellite operations since the discontinuation of the Kenwood TH-D72 – the Anytone AT-D890UV (which is also available as the Bridgecom Maverick and the BTECH DA-7X2).
The Anytone AT-D890UV is a dual-band VHF/UHF DMR digital/analog handheld radio with built-in Bluetooth, GPS, and APRS capability. Features include Air Band AM receive, cross-band repeater mode, and an analog scrambler/compander. It has a 1.77″ color TFT display allows easy access to 4,000 channels and up to 500,000 digital contacts. The radio is powered by a 3100 mAh battery with convenient USB-C charging and upgraded 2G memory capacity. Next Generation Digital Narrowband (NXDN) functionality has also been promised as a future firmware update. A version of the firmware with NXDN support is currently available through unofficial sources.
The AT-D890UV also has the satellite Doppler tracking capability that has been present in previous Anytone radios, but unfortunately this feature does not currently work in full-duplex mode.
The below YouTube video from W8CPT demonstrates it’s full-duplex capability on SO-50, showing no apparent desense while operating in V/u mode.
The Anytone AT-D890UV is available from most amateur radio retailers for $299.99. As of this writing, DX Engineering expects to ship orders on February 23rd while Ham Radio Outlet has limited stock at their Anaheim location.

Hello Cpt Don W8CPT here. It definitely does NOT support full duplex on the Satellites tracking app. I programed on TX Frequency for VFO A and 5 to follow the 70cm Doppler shift on VFO B to get full duplex. I blocked TX on the 70cm frequencies so I get reminded to switch back to VFO A after I change the Frequency for doppler. Lots of pushing buttons but awesome to work full duplex on an HT. I hope Anytone figures out how to get it in their Satellite program!
Thanks for info. I added an update in this post that the satellite function does not support full duplex.

Fun fact… there was another Ham in made a QSO with in this video using the same HT full duplex like I was! Read the comments in the video
