He should add the caveats of things he says the radio CAN do, which it actually can not. If everything he claims the radio can do, in fact, it would be all the rage! But it's not. There is a Whats App support number you can share with other users and the manufacturer, but you can not see the history of anything that was complained about prior to your joining! How convenient! If you return the radio for repair, the shipping is your responsibility, so for instance, to China from California and back is $300! So all I'm saying is, it looks like a wonderful radio, but buyer beware!

I bought a Q900 several months ago and found it very useful in a laboratory where we transmit all over the spectrum that a MARS mod just won't cover. I'll be buying another Q900 next week for my personal use as a backpack radio. It's rare to have this much capability in such a small package - and with a built in HF/6m tuner. However, I'm not having much luck with the Android app right now. I have to get that figured out, because I really need the VFO tuning knob on HF.

Just curious - are you using this radio toin the lab, or just using it for the wideband reception? I'm always a little wary of recommending the Chinese handhelds for beginners because a lot of them will transmit out of the ham bands right out of the box, which I think is just one more complication a beginner doesn't need. I would be worried if this radio did the same. Thanks!

I tried to follow the provided links but I found radios from about 500 to 750 That looks and sounds the same to me. I also followed links for the antenna And do you need 1 or two antennas. Or is the GPS a antenna of some sort. I used CBs from the 1970 and SSB And I had ham relievers but I love the full band deal transceiver. I am getting into it as a hobby and in case SHTF happens to help my community...and I am talking to about 12 men in the community that are very interested as well. We will get a license to use it... Unless a emergency happens when no license is required.... Any help to understand would be greatly appreciated... if my old buddy Art Bell was still alive I would call him up but he passed away some time back. Sad I had just talked to him days before he passed. God bless

Very impressive radio for what it does, you basically have an entire shack in a box that you can also use portable. The only main drawback holding this radio back it seems is the lack of VFO knob and I wish it had one. I wonder if a rotary encoder could be added using the USB or accessory port? For the satellite function, does it support full duplex? Does it have dual VFO? Also, I am wondering if the bluetooth can be used to pair a headset or can it only be used for CAT control?

Be very careful before buying it. Might let TM here do more testing first. It looks almost identical to the Ailunce HS2 I bought a couple of years ago. My dislikes about it at the time were: 1. Tiny buttons and tiny display. Very fiddly to operate. 2. Poorly suppressed harmonics in the TX signal. (I'll have to re-measure to talk specifics) 3. Non-existent support from Ailunce. No software, firmware or manual updates for ~ a year. I'm going to try determine what's different from this "Q900 V3" and my "Ailunce HS2". The new firmware files look like they might drop right into my radio, but I'm not anxious to brick my HS2 just yet. I was planning to dump it on ebay for half what I paid for it ;)

edit: As Matt has made clear, this is the 3rd generation design from Guohe, the OEM for the HS2 and QR20 which are 1st and 2nd generation. Yes! I've been yacking in here about that . The only external physical differences between it and my Ailunce HS2 is the color, the speaker grill (moved and smaller) and an extra SMA connector on the Q900 V3. Otherwise it looks the same... same tiny buttons and tiny screen. And given how packed it is inside my HS2, I doubt the LPFs are much better (and the HS2 TX spectrum is not great).

In China, the early versions of the q900 were spurned because of poor marketing and obvious flaws in the hash. It was not even licensed by the Management department, at that time.( Selling radio equipment in China requires passing Management department, testing and receiving a license code) Although the launch of the new version of the q900 has resulted in a license code, I remain skeptical about this machine. After all, this company does not have a very good rating in China. Thank you for your review which changed my perception of it a little Finally, I would like to ask if I can upload the video to a Chinese video site for more Chinese ham to see? 73 de BH7CSA

I see it's about $625 US Dollars. That's a darn good bang for the buck with respect to an all band QRP transceiver with all that it offers. Can't imagine Ten Tec providing as much...Actually I (aka KC2WVB) am a big fan of QRP and only use either a UBit-X or Bitx-40. I sold my Kenwood 100 watt unit four or five years ago when I moved, but always found creating a fabulous antenna capable of distance on 10 or less watts was a lot more challenging and thus fun than buying and plugging in a 100 watt transceiver. This led to the ORP preference, but to each their own preference and some people like the convience of a 100 watt unit and find their fun via other means.

Great radio, featurewise. But most important: How does it receive and transmit when stations are weak or strong stations are nearby? How clear is the sound? Is the clarifier for ssb usable? Squelch usable? Transmission on all modes in specs? From my experience, the "cheap" chinese SDR radios almost all receive terrible compared to the usual radios. Transmission often is a bit low modulated but generally acceptable, but receiving mostly is garbage. Otherwise I would consider buying one Q900 for portable use.

Seems like a nice radio. Display refresh rate, layout, resolution seems decent. Having BT is OK for added flexibility and future functionality, but not a good substitute for having a quality, hardware rotary dial(s) on the radio. It really annoys me when mfrs cripple otherwise good hardware with cheap interfaces and/or crappy phone apps that are more trouble than they are worth, though it seems this offering does a pretty good job in that respect.

It is not "wide open" out of the box, but you can open it. However, 1.25m is not listed as a supported frequency so I reckon it doesn't have the hardware (Low Pass Filters at least) to support clean TX there.

@@Randrew That would be an interesting and useful option if it could work on 1.25m. One could always build a band stop/band pass to filter that specific band.

What is the spectral purity like? Does it transmit from 160m to 6 m every time you key down?

@@TechMindsOfficial I'll try to find the FCC ID for this unit to check it, but... I've looked at FCC certification test reports on a few Chinese transceivers. The new Xiegu X6100 (FCCID: 2ANLH-X6100), for example, was tested and certified for Part 15B compliance as a "Digital device" and was never even placed into transmit mode during testing. That is the *only* FCC cert it carries. Point being, yes the FCC apparently does issue certifications for amateur transceivers - under Part 15. I'll call it the "electronic device sitting on your desk and powered up" category.

@@TheArtofEngineering As I said, an amateur transceiver holding a FCC Part 15 cert means nothing with regard to TX spectrum purity. And this Guohe company (Q900 maker) doesn't even seem to hold *any* FCC certs. The seller linked above shows a "Supplier's Declaration of Conformity" which states it was tested to FCC Part 15 B (not a transceiver specific test). BUT there does not actually seem to be an FCC certification granted. FWIW I just ordered one anyway :)

Go for G90, sort of tried and tested OS which is stable if hf is of main interest. All in one radios are usually are troublesome, especially Chinese.

I would agree about a G90, I own one and love it. But it doesn’t so vhf/uhf with SSB, which is really handy on a small unit like this.

Looks like quadrature Tayloe mixer is used, so, sampling. Also the 48 kHz wide spectrum window is a giveaway.

does it have a built-in voice or cw keyer, I am finding mixed information! If not this is something they should add and is a major shortcoming of many of the little SDR radios such as the G90. I know that you can get a 3rd part voice keyer mic but I was told this has it already but I can't confirm that thanks for your videos and hopefully you can answer this. KC9CUK 73
