TYT TH-9800 , QUADBAND HAM RADIO - UNBOX & TEST , 2024

[@gilbertoestefani4868]

I have this TYT TH 9800 radio, excellent quality equipment and good transmission and reception. I am really happy.

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Great to hear!

[@M6LSJ]

Many thanks for showing well explained a great radio to have for a beginner.

[@applejacks971]

These are an absolute bargain currently at $200usd on Amazon-usa. It's literally an off brand Yaesu 88/8900. Same display, same start up tone, same key tones, and for 1/2 $$ of a used Yaesu. Ya just can't beat the value! This would be an excellent back up radio, new ham radio, rig to throw in the farm or hunting truck etc. I'd like to get one just to have it :) Great vid!

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Thanks for watching .

[@BitsofSkin]

I have 2 of these. A word of warning. Be careful NOT to plug the face cable into the mic socket or the mic into the socket for the face. It’s a bit of a bad design in that they are both Ethernet cable. It fry’s the unit. I still have my dead one I haven’t got round to fixing. Had them for around 6/7 years. Decent radio’s for the price although as you have already learned, the menu’s can take some getting used too. :)

[@BitsofSkin]

Ps.. V/M is VFO/Memory mode :) Have a study at the manual.

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Thanks

[@la7yka]

I have two of this radio, they are quite good. Also a spare PA MOSFET transistor (RD70HVF1) just in case the output should collapse (same transistor for all bands).

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

I think its a very good radio .

[@TheSillyshyguy]

I've been looking seriously at this one. Thanks for the video

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

No problem!

[@davidjo9683]

Yeah. Me too. Very nice.

[@vasilatosianis4208]

I have it in my wish list for some time ...maybe oneday i will buy the rig ! Cool video ..

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Go for it!

[@billdomb]

nice work! Man, that beep is annoying and don't think there's a way to turn it down. I went to menu and shut it entirely off.

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Sorted thanks

[@shaun900]

You can turn it down in Chirp

[@KE8ODY-WV-Ares-Ham-Dad-3O4]

I’m interested about the 10m and 6m output

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Look at specs

[@arthurziegler6021]

FM is legal to use on CB but not much activity yet. Yes it will do GMRS, also.

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Ok

[@KE8ODY-WV-Ares-Ham-Dad-3O4]

Could this be used with a end fed half wave if I only plan to use 6m and 10m

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Yes but need a good antenna tuner you need a vertical realy .

[@KE8ODY-WV-Ares-Ham-Dad-3O4]

@ what about qt60

[@newsles2]

I was considering this as a first vhf/uhf radio for when I get my license, but I feel the vid gave the impression it wasn't very user-friendly and quite fiddly to operate.

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Hi , yes lots Menu items it does cover many bands most dual.band /quad bad radios rend to be the same I recommend a used Yaesu 817 as a starter .

[@NorthernMontanaHomestead]

What I don't understand is what antenna would you use if you want to install this in a truck and use all for bands? Or would you have to use two antennas somehow?

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

You can get antenna that cover all the bands talk to a ham radio shop they wil have many options .:www.radioworld.co.uk/sqbm4010p-quadband-10m-4m-2m-70cm-base-antenna

[@chipfornaris]

Can the 9800D be unlocked or expanded to the full band range as well?

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

You can make adjustment using the software :kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2nchHWXip1ng7ssi=h9x1PT_UM3jPgpac

[@Andydigital80]

You were tuned to 507.700 Mhz not 50.770 ;)

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Yes realised after lol

[@sertacpamukcu]

Yes, you need to key 0 first to enter frequencies below 100 Mhz

[@rallesfrickelbude9245]

[@esuccessoveramente]

Deactivating the beep forever is impossible, when you turn it back on the beep comes back

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Annoying lol

[@j3xk72r9]

The buttons A-F will store six complete configurations of the radio.

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Explain

[@arthurziegler6021]

Yes it will do GMRS

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

thanks

[@RFMaster6]

Basically a Yaesu FT-8900

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Yes

[@tangomike1306]

Very Nice radio indeed, but without SSB you barly can it use it un 10/11 and 50m I guess

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

I use it on 2 meters /70 cm AND 6 Meter repeaters , RX- Airband ,Marine band -PMR , GMRS theare ar options for CB bands its Dual Receive simaltaneous also proper Cross band repeat - Then has a removeable head and 50 wATTS POWER .Full dtmf microphone and is software programable - its a no brainer at £160

[@davidhawkins847]

@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones If its capable of CB bands, then I may need to take a look at it. I'm mostly off road and using GMRS now. When I had my license, I had a 10m that had the CB channels added. Something like this would allow me to do both CB and GMRS frequencies with ONE radio, instead of having to run multiple radios. I do need to renew my HAM license though.

[@RonOrtman]

Will this radio RX and Tx on GMRS frequencies

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Yes

[@SuperAbel17]

I imagine they send them to you to try them, right? Because I don't think it compresses so many teams, mate, hehe!

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

I buy everything it becomes part of my Radio library , I dig Radios out to answer question with a Video.
