I went looking for an inexpensive quad band for my daily driver and the TYT TH-9800 fits the bill nicely
Easy return (pending) & I immediately ordered the correct "quad band model".It arrived Sunday morning
Any how tyt seems to be ok lil getting used to the program software sucks,buttons on unit are not for North American hands,kinda functions like the yaseu predisessor,internel speaker pops when on rx buy a good ext one seems to hold freq drift again just all my opinion but so far covers what it says on box again need to find a good nmo quad if you want to use all bands also
Otherwise I think it will be a good first quad band for some folks.
Otherwise I think it will be a good first quad band for some folks.
They do handle the GMRS, FRS, PMR, & HAM frequencies, with a good dual band antenna
They are pretty decent dual band transceivers (2M & 70CM)
Love the radio but wasted two bands
For a while it was delightful to use and I felt smug in the fact that I had a good high powered quad band radio for roughly half the price of a "big name" radio.
Ok, so some of the buyers of this radio let the price dictate how many flaws the ycan overlook
Great price for an almost duplicate radio of the Yaesu FT.8900 that will save you money3
Love the radio great first mobile radio you can do a lot with this for half the price of a yaesu programming is a little tricky with the genric cables.
It was the right price for a secondary radio (primary is an all mode)
Better than the Yaesu FT-8900, and almost half the price and more features too....
I thought being this was the plus model all the bugs had been worked out
But it has worked really well especially with the Diamond CR-8900 antenna on my pickup truck
I am able to monitor air band, CB, 800 mhz, public safety & commercial uhf/vhf, as well as work the ham bands.
This radio is very intuitive and is really fun to operate and have access to four great ham bands, aircraft and 800Mhz scanning functions!Too bad there is no AM transmit on the 29Mhz band!The Quad band antenna that came with the radio works like a dream!It is so nice to be able to go to any of the four bands with no hassles!I programmed FRS, MURS and many of the FM ham bands I love working on the way to work
Out of 3 of these radios I have, 2 worked perfectly out of the box, the 3rd was problematic
The ability to separate the face of the radio from the body is a nice feature where you don't have more of the radio to install under or in dash then necessary.
Could not disable this "undocumented feature" and returned
With the cable, it is possible to re-flash the radio with a firmware version that disables this "feature".3
Took me a while to figure out how to program the transceiver to steps of 5 MHz, as it is full of great options and features
The Yaesu FT-8900 likely has a more solid keypad mic, but you’ll pay nearly twice the cost and (ironically) lose some features
then I would have to turn it back down to acceptable level .now for the biggest part the most annoying loud beep no matter where your volume is set, every time you push a button to program it or change bands even though I went into the menu settings and turned it off several times it would automatically come back on
The beep when you changes channels is loud, but not a deal breaker.
The 4th and one thing that really forced me to take the Amazon escape capsule was that the radio has a loud beep when you push buttons
The beep that you can't turn off with out changing out components in the radio, and now the the second VFO has lost the squelch capability.
