My friend 63 in Ontario Canada got me on a video gate, While I was using this Radioddity QT80! check out his video to hear how good the QT80 sounds on the air. ruclips.net/video/E3b0f5NbCYk/видео.html
Now you've done it. I just made another impulse buy. Looking forward to trying it out on the 10, 12 and 15-meter bands. I was going to go with the QT60 but I liked the VFO function on this radio. I ordered the Anytone version on Amazon. I have my general but always seem to end up on the 11-meter band. Thanks for a very informative video. Keep them coming!
Oh MAN! And I thought I loved my QT60. Im gonna be a good guy the rest of the year so Santa might bring me a new QT80. Thanks for review. You the man. As if I couldnt hear your clear here in S IN. Youll be blowing my speakers out now. 153 IN.
I bought a QT60 about a year ago. I like everything about it except that horrible orange display. I bought it specifically for 11 meters, and converted it. It's nice and clean on 11 meters AM/SSB. Then this comes along. I'm not going to wait for Santa, I'm just going to buy it. $299 on Amazon. If it works out I'll probably sell the QT60.
I've watched several QT-80 videos but yours is the most comprehensive of them all. I want this radio SO much. You mentioned doing the jumper switch to get into 15m. Is that the only reason for the jumper swap? My biggest reason for wanting this radio is for 11m (CB - GASP!) and 10m. Everyone else seems to indicate the jumper swap is needed to access 11, 12, 15 meters. All my ham buddies poo-poo CB but I'm a retired trucker and cut my teeth on CB. I just upgraded my ham ticket to General and have totally embraced HF. But, I'm still a CB fan through and through.
Hi John. I was just thinking that with the recent introduction of FM to the radios in America and for us UK CB'rs, that you could introduce FM power tests to your reviews. It's an important feature. What do you think? Also, the RCI Ranger 2950 beep is the smallest and shortest beep known to mankind!
Just getting into ham, ready to take my Tech test. What is the story on the 3 digit numerical callsigns you guys are using? Trying to learn all I can. I see that you're on CB. Played a bit with that way back in the 80's... but I don't remember the numerical call signs back then.
I remember when digital watches first hit the scene. If you couldn't read the directions, all of the function buttons were confusing. Now, we have menu upon menu to change settings, dozens of languages and every time zone on Earth. What will A.I. bring to the table?
TSQ-CTCSS/DCS sub tone squelch either as single or split tones Used for quiet coded squelch VoIP gateways Parrot repeaters uses 👍 Also has 2.0/4.0khz FM deviation selection AGC fast/slow Tx audio bandwidth 3.0/4.0khz on tx response 👍
Isn't the QT80 an anytone 6666 clone? A lot of these radios are the same radio (board, case and face) other than maybe different finals or receivers. I think the Stryker 955 has the same board as the 6666 and so on. I guess you have to move one wire on the 955 but haven't gotten into ham yet but I'm thinking of getting started that's kind of why I was looking at these convertible radios. Hope you had a good Christmas and have a Happy New Year!
How does this radio compare to the anytone 6666 for rx and tx? If it's the same this is going to be my next buy to replace my base station and truck radio
@MowerJunkie awesome thank you so much. A guy in my radio club got the qt60 and was making contacts with the Stryker magmount antenna and told me the qt80 is the better buy and he regretted not paying 100 bucks more for the 80. But I had to ask you cause I trust your knowledge and experience. Thank you again
Looks like my CRT 6900 ,do you know if the CRT does the same thing on the mic for Bluetooth.great stuff.Alan from ENGLAND ps what ARIEL you on with that lovely rig, PPS how do you run a vertical dipole and a horizontal dipole, at the same time , sorry for the big msg but that sounds like just what I need where I live, neighbours and all that.

TSQ = tone squelch mower junkie. The arrow is called a “Caret” pronounced Ka-ret. Does the USB programming cable come with the radio in the box, or is it separate? Thanks, 73’
Nice radio. I have the QT 60 and love it. I see they have a QT 60 PRO now. On that QT 80 does your power supply have a amp meter ? or have you measured the current on that radio? so how i can't find the current draw on the website.
I'm currently using in any tone quad 5n1 the 30 watt model. Which I have peaked at 50 Watts on SSB and 30 on am. I really do want to get one of these radios but I may have to part with some things first to get it. I have a easy ftdx 1200 and if I can sell that then maybe I can get two of these radios. But more likely one of these radios and a nice 200 to 500 watt amp. Thanks to the videos enjoy everything that you do 73. From 324 Western Pennsylvania.
So thats yhe radio i heard you on on the 5th aug i tried calling out to you but yup must not heard. Me behind noise not as loud as jhave hearD you wiyth the little amp you use Good video

Mower Junkie, how would you rate the quality of the radio, more like a CB quality, or more like an iCom, Kenwood, Yaesu ham radio quality?
it falls in the middle, I think it's better than a CB, but not as good as a high quality HF rig.
How does this radio do as far as temperature? Have good audio?
Could you recommend a vehicle antenna for this radio in it’s unlocked state?
