Radioddity QT60 PRO 10 Meter Transceiver Review

[@thestonerguy5276]

IMHO, for the money, this is one of the best radios someone could purchase, provided they didn't require something smaller to put in the auto. Enjoyed your video and I look forward to the next one! Thank you... 👍

[@m0ogy]

I agree with you 100%, I prefer this to other new radios as the display is great and easy to use Dave🙂

[@delboyonline]

I've got the CRT 8900 (Same radio) and it works really well. The VHF reception is pretty good, even on a CB antenna.

[@m0ogy]

I guessed it's the same, do I break the warranty seals?......did you open your own up Delboy?🙂

[@delboyonline]

@@m0ogy no need the export is key press on the 8900, not sure about the Radioddity as it's meant for the US market

[@m0ogy]

@@delboyonline I'll have to check your video out then!

@@m0ogy cut the wire and move the jumper 😂

[@LilYeshua]

I used to have a CRE-8900. I had DTB Radio up in Pennsylvania to tune it and ran it in my mobile and hooked up to a Sirio Antenne. I found the QT60 on KZbin today and I ended up finding out about the QT80 (80 watts)which no jumper wire to cut but move the jumper pins over one slot to get 10,11,12,and 15 meters.

I have an Anytone 5555 which i bought quite awhile ago and it came with the ukfm programmed and had good contacts on 12m,11m and 10m......this particular radio is good if you want a few hf and a vhf band i.e. 2m while out mobile..nice review Dave,cheers from Kent.

[@m0ogy]

Thanks for your support Roger, this radio is an upgraded model (check out mostypostie1 comment below for the full details), it really is a cracking radio 🙂

[@johnarnell664]

I've just got the new anytone 5555 n 11 today and it looks the same as your radio and the UK fm 40 band is already pre programmed

[@m0ogy]

That's good, did you buy it in England?

[@johnarnell664]

@@m0ogy yes from a radio shop down nr Cornwall sent on Wednesday it came the next day also got a 30amp power supply from them

@@johnarnell664 That's good then, seems to be a great radio for sure 🙂

What is the difference between the Radioddity QT60 and the QT60Pro? I have just bought a QT60 from the United States Amazon as the QT60 is not available in the dutch amazon store. And yes i had to import one which costed me a lot of money. The mod for 11 meter was snipping a white wire and moving over a jumper. Is the QT60Pro also white wire snipable and moving over a jumper? These Radio manufacturers are releasing lots of radios and bringing more out for people who have the money. TBH I can't keep up no more!

[@m0ogy]

The PRO is an updated radio in a shorter chassis, you can't keep up with the new radios ! 🧐, try my hobby of Reviewing the products, it seems as there is at least one new one a week currently, the hobby must be strong, or manufacturers wouldn't invest their time and money. cheers Dave 🙂

Is this M0ogy that's on Worldwide DX forum?

[@m0ogy]

I'm a Member of the Worldwide DX Forum, not been on there for a while, but yes that's me! 🙂

[@LilYeshua]

@@m0ogy Same goes for me. I haven't been on there for a while either l. Skip was great until August 2013 then I think that the sun flipped poles and skip basically went away especially for eleven meters plus a lot of other cb'ers around my neck of the woods lost interest about radio communications.

Here are the changes in these new "short case" radios, compared to the older versions: - No more VFO RX step muting - CTCSS TONE readout (Hz) and CTCSS scanning. - WX RX, with VHF RX VFO from 136-174MHz FM. - Channel overwrite issues of the old radios, fixed - LCD dimmer control - VOX improvements (VOX.SPK and VOL.PATH) - will support digi modes via the mic socket just like the 6666PRO can. - CW mode - FM Dev 2K/4K - SSB TX Bandwidth 3K/4K - AGC Fast/Slow - 100 memory channels (up from 6) 73

[@m0ogy]

Thanks for your kind information. You certainly know about these new radios. Are you in the Trade or an RF Engineer mostlypostie1?. You have helped the channel out on a few occasions now, which I thankyou for. All the best, Dave M0OGY🙂

[@mostlypostie1]

@@m0ogy Hi Dave, Yes I'm both actually, but I'm not a "seller" so I just like to help get the facts out there. :) 73

[@m0ogy]

@@mostlypostie1 I guessed you were, I just test and enjoy these radios as a hobby, have done for 16 years now. 73 Dave 🙂

[@royd.9609]

I love this radio. 100 watts would be better.

[@m0ogy]

I took a shine to it too, it's set up in my shack now waiting for tests🙂

[@christophersmith1155]

anytone 5555 is the same radio

[@mostlypostie1]

No, only the newest AT-5555Nii SHORT CASE is the saem radio. The "5555" is a different radio. 73

[@CBPunisher1900]

hate that mic jack if only it was a 4 pin they would sell better.

[@m0ogy]

I can't say I'm too bothered, I will buy an adaptor lead for it I think from Knights our local Dealer🙂

[@CBPunisher1900]

true but i feel like cb/10m radios is a small market now so keep it all compatible with a 4pin mic dont make people spend more for adaptors. the anytone aries 2 does 4 pin with channel buttons so 6 pin is not needed even .
