Repeater Programming QYT8900D

[@WRJK988]

I just came across this radio and found your video. 5 years later and your still helping. 73!

[@billssimplepinedesign8878]

First of all thanks for this video. I spent many hours trying to program my new KT-7900D. The day I first keyed it my laptop computer died. I actually seen myself taking the radio into the driveway and running over it with my truck until it was flat. I played your video 300 times and finally have a couple channels programmed. Fantastic radio but without your video it is useless. Thanks again. KD2UTJ.

[@2j4ez]

Glad it helped you can also program the radio from chirp

[@danieldees5062]

Thank you for a excellent teaching guide.

[@2j4ez]

No worries

[@marinkusev5664]

Thank you! I am so sorry I didn't make a video for improvement of the heat sink. Inside, the final stage of the amplifier is with bad cooling design.

You saved my a lot of frustration, thank you for this video.

Da li moze u isto vreme da bude. Na prijemu 4 frekvencije

[@2j4ez]

Ne, mislim da je to jedini VFO u isto vreme.

Hi Jez , can't seem to set the squelch without leaving it in monitor " mode" can I adjust the squelch settings? Can't find any reference to it cheers Andy

[@2j4ez]

It should be just like a baofung . Not used the radio for a while . Look for sq lev it maybe the first item in the menu options change it from 1 to 0

[@richardcronshaw1963]

Love all your explanations,do not think you are into DMR,are you?

[@2j4ez]

Yes I have dmr and fusion radios and have been playing with dmr and fusion

[@slickjimmy76]

Thank you for the information :) Just bought one of these to try out.

[@1OFGODSOWN]

Transmit audio is very very good on mine.

Hi im trying to setup my repeater. Are you using only one qyt8900 as a repeater? Or your using two radio?

[@2j4ez]

Just using one radio and programming a local repeater into the radio I can also use the radio simplex to talk to other radios

[@savaspnarbas501]

Hi I can send and receive with the radio, my voice is clear, I can't get the relay return sound.

[@2j4ez]

When a repeater is programmed in?

[@savaspnarbas501]

@@2j4ez no programming done

[@2j4ez]

@@savaspnarbas501 What happens if you put it on a frequency say 145.425 and press the moni button ? do you hear static sound?

[@LeurieJohn]

Hello? Maybe you have tried tx only icon on the signal... If you have how to fix it... All frequency on my radio are all tx only no rx... Maybe you can help...

[@lookup90]

Is it this what we call duplex settings

[@2j4ez]

@@lookup90 yes you transmit on one frequency and receive on another

[@ThrooGRV]

can also be use as repeater VHF to VHF? only one QYT8900D base radio? or I need 2 of this?

[@2j4ez]

Good question I don’t think this can be used as a repeater . To be honest I’ve never looked into it but I will do to see if this can be used as a repeater

[@noelsamson6115]

sir can it be set up as a crossband repeater. ty

[@JJ196244]

You going to be fitting that to your bike jezz?. mine is working fine on my bike and at home

[@2j4ez]

John Ghostryder Johnson I want to I need to look at ways to do it . I’ll do a video once it’s done

[@jay-rus4437]

Hope this is still the same process for the 7900D. Have been having a heck of a time with it

[@2j4ez]

isn't the 7900D supported on chirp?

[@jay-rus4437]

@@2j4ez ....possibly. Literally just got the radio yesterday, and then just went to power it up and at the bottom it says “KILLED”. I googled it and found Im not the only one. But I have no idea why it happened. I tried powering down etc. Neither the mic controls, or face controls would allow anything at all. What’s interesting is that this must he anticipated enough that the manufacturer has programmed the word “killed”.....lol

[@ednusso5442]

my radio looks like the one in the video ,but its not the same name mine is a QYT -8900D ,when i push the vm button no o shows on the screen????????????

[@3qdx]

The Manual for mine claims the radio shows the input DC voltage at the bottom of the Screen on startup but mine doesn't. Does yours? I don't see any option for this in CHIRP either.

[@2j4ez]

3qdx mine shows my call sign with my name. Don’t think mine did show the voltage . I’ve programmed it from chirp

[@3qdx]

@@2j4ez Same thing for me with my Callsign on startup. Thanks for letting me know about the Voltage Check (or lack thereof).

[@heribergonzalez]

Hi, how are you. I need unlock that one, can you help ? Thanks

[@2j4ez]

There’s no need to unlock it should tx out of band out the box

[@heribergonzalez]

My equipment is GMRS

[@BBaldwin]

I don’t understand why saving the input frequency is necessary when we’ve already entered the offset and shift.

[@victorhugoalvesapolinarioa2543]

O MEU RADIO VEIO EM BRANCO DA CHINA E NORMAL ?

[@slashdolz]

Dear sir, I have QYT 8900D...the frequency range is only 144-147MHz and 430-440 Mhz. Can we unlock the preset limit to extend to 136-174 Mhz and 400-480 Mhz?

[@2j4ez]

im not sure you can tx out of band not tried mine out of band

[@ednusso5442]

i have been trying for 3 hrs to program my 8900d and i cant get anything to work? watch your video to no avail ,any suggestions iam really challange with this stuff why does it have to be so hard ?????

[@2j4ez]

do you have a data cable? if so you can use chirp to program the radio

[@1OFGODSOWN]

Just opened the box on a New one & it has a programming cable but No Software so I hope it will work with Chirp?

[@2j4ez]

yes it works with chirp i use my mac to program it

[@1OFGODSOWN]

2j4ez it worked great after we found a computer that it worked with.It has great transmit audio and one friend said it sounded better than any he had ever heard me on.He thought I was using my ICOM 2820H.

[@BBaldwin]

Does ANYONE know how to do a factory reset on this radio? Thanks in advance.

[@somirhossain2676]

Dear sir I hav a problem repeater setup in (qyt kt -980plus) please send video how to setup repeater

[@TheAhrepskywalker]

Hi how do u store your callsign?

[@2j4ez]

TheAhrepskywalker hi I did mine on chirp with a data cable

[@TheAhrepskywalker]

@@2j4ez thnx for the reply, is the cable similar to any baofeng cable?

[@2j4ez]

TheAhrepskywalker no the the cable is usb one end a 3.5ml jack the other end. I got a bundle of programming cables from amazon for about £13 about a year ago . Was there no cable in the box ?

[@TheAhrepskywalker]

@@2j4ez nope aparently no cable inside the box. Well now i know how to set the callsign. Thank you again.

[@freakshow7633]

how can i solve delay on receive problem in this radio?

[@2j4ez]

Ive never of any delay on receive. try turning the squelch down its been a while since ive used the radio

[@skipperbentdk]

How to send 1750hz tone to activate repeater does anyone know? Can't find anything in the manual 🤔

[@2j4ez]

Good question I’ll look into that . I have a tone generator app on my phone and if I can’t find the tone burst button I use the app to generate the 1750hz tone

[@YaoiMastah]

I think I'll buy the USB cable instead.

[@2j4ez]

yep you can program it on chirp no issues

[@scotthensley8083]

I think I will chunk this on in the trash and get a radio that is not so difficult.

[@dskentfield]

Far too fast for a beginner..Appreciate the effort
