- The review is the first part of the video, the programming instructions begin at the 4:55 mark.
I think this is a GREAT radio for people who are new to the hobby and want to get started learning how to program a radio and get on the air.
I am new to the hobby and I bought this radio. I wanted to share my thoughts from the perspective of a new guy. I like it but I did find it quirky so I wanted to help others figure out how to program it. I think it is a good radio with a very good value and people shouldn't be scared away because they think its too difficult to use.
In the video I will tell you what I think about the radio and show you how to program a basic repeater into it, to help get people started and understanding how this radio works.
Thanks for watching!
I am in NO WAY associated with TYT. I bought this radio myself and made this video only to help others.
Thank you very much for an excellent video. I have been trying for hours to get the PLL code and just about gave up before I decided to look on RUclips and found your video. You did good my friend. Sincerely, W1PI
You're very welcome! I made the video to help others so it makes me happy that it is doing just that! Thank you for your kind words, enjoy your radio! 73
Helpful, thanks. It's easy enough using CHIRP, but useful to know how to program it manually.
Nicely done. I will have to give this radio some consideration.
Thanks it really help. A little variation, i set my CTCSS in MENU 31 only, leaving C-CDC and R-CDC as off and input the T-CDC with the corresponding tone only.
Awesome video!!! 🙌🏾 nicely done!
I have the TYT UV8000e it is a good radio also. Comes with a lot of good accessories. As for the Baofeng, don't believe every thing you hear. There may have been problems with the older ones but I also have the BF-F8 HP, and its a good little radio, and I've had no problems with it. But the TYT, is better.
Thats fair, I dont know much about Baofeng. But I do really like these TYT 8000 series radios! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
Hi sir, if compare with yaesu ft4x which 1 is better
@@wtdlegacy3148 Never having used any Yaesu radio, I don't really know. But I do know that the TYT is going to coast you less money, as will accessories. Plus the UV8000D/E will put out 10 watts of power on 146.000, of which I have tested.
Спасибо за подсказку! Всю голову сломал, как выставить полутоны! Молодец!
Всегда пожалуйста!
Great Video and you weren't licensed yet. Awesome. Really helped me out with the tone encode function.
Awesome I'm glad it helped!
The star button! Thanks!!@
Starts at 5:00
The programming portion of the video does begin just before the 5 minute mark. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for video. I have a question. How can I activate secreen lights during tx or rx? For example baofeng devices has screen lights both tx and rx and different colors.
baofeng are junk mine died 4 days after I bought it , hope this tyt works better
Is there a way to program a memory channel with split band transmit and receive. I bought this radio and want to try to use it for satellites and need to program one of the memory channels to receive on VHF but transmit on UHF, and vice versa.
I know I can do it in VFO mode just have the different frequencies set for a and b band, just didn’t know if it could be saved to memory for convenience.
You could try doing this by setting a very high shift value but Im not sure that it will go high enough for your purposes.
tango yanke for now I have an idea on how to program my TYT TH uv8000D
I’m new to this radio stuff! I’m not sure the difference between bands and channels... I just have to radios I want to link together for hiking? That will work the best at long distances? What is the best way to do this?
Thanks in advance
Bands are different frequencies available to amateurs. Channels refers to the A and B channel available on the radio. You can have two different frequencies that you are listening to and switch back and forth between them. These radios would be pretty good for hiking. Probably a 10km range in the trees. More in the right conditions or on top of a hill. These radios do require you to have an amatuer license but those are easy to get.
I have the e-version, this is my favorite handheld by far and I have more expensive ones on that note anyone listening do not buy Radiology GS5 be, that thing is a piece of crap. But this radio, CYT 8000e when I have is my favorite handheld I love it and Chirp
Can you recommend a good antenna for this radio? An antenna with a swr value close to 1
The antenna that came with my radio works very well.
Do u know why the radio continue beeping after transmition
I just bought this radio from a friend. People around here in Colorado use these to communicate while off-roading and that's what I intend to do.
However, I know absolutely nothing about radios and am trying to learn whatever I can. Most videos talk about stuff I don't even know what they're talking about. You showed us how to program for a "repeater". What's a repeater and why and when would I use it? Do you know of any other videos that might help get my understanding off the ground? Thanks in advance!
A repeater is a local station that, when it receives a transmission, it retransmits for all within range to hear. This is opposed to simplex where you are just talking directly another individual or group with radios but no signals are being 'repeated '. Hope that helps, feel free to ask if you want to know more
@@greentruckandhamradio820 For instance, I would be able to program in a local repeater here in the Denver area and talk to someone, who would otherwise be out of simplex RX/TX range? I think I'm starting to understand! How would I find a local repeater station near me?
@@greentruckandhamradio820 I Googled local stations and found many. What's it mean when a station's Tone In / Tone Out is simply CC 1?
@@greentruckandhamradio820 Lastly, how can I determine which repeater is ideal for me at my location?
@@SheepDog1513 You got it right, a repeater can connect people through radio who otherwise wouldn't be able to reach each other. I'm really not sure what a CC1 tone is, and as for the best repeater. The closer they are generally the better they will be because you're closer when transmitting and receiving. Just keep trying them all and if you cant reach one, it's probably just too far from you.
For the tone, can I use keypad instead of the arrow button and knob ?
I dont believe that is possible, no.
@@greentruckandhamradio820 starting of the tone is like 67.0 Hz, tuning to 200+ Hz took a little bit time and feel like destroying the radio when turning the knob
@@greentruckandhamradio820 btw thanks for your reply man, appreciated !
@@misterdixon99 I think you can turn it backwards. I know you can the menus
"Don't know much about Baofeng." At least you can pronounce it fairly authentically :)
🗣 Good radio choice. Another good choice would be a Baofeng/Tidradio TD-H6.

Don't believe all the negative stuff you hear about Bofeng. You can get one radio, a mic, programming cable, two batteries, whip antenna all for fifty bucks. It's a great price. It's almost as good as your TYT, but, whilst it doesn't have a cross band repeater, it does have a great spectrum of power from high to low.
If I had to choose one, it would be a TYT, but if you buy both, that's even better. 🌞🌛✨
how do you save in memory a repeater with rx in vhf and the tx in uhf? the offset is limited
I dont think its possible to do what you are trying to do on the UV8000D.
Здравствуйте! я слышал, что люди жалуются на Tyt th uv8000d что когда им непрерывно долго пользуешься то связь начинает прерыватся. Вы не замечали этого или не слышали об этом?
I have not experienced that issue with my radio.
ho to unlock ?????old band
Does anyone have a link to a video on the software that comes with it or setting up repeaters using the software? I always used Chirp until now and the terminology on the other software is different. I also want to set up cross band (I already enabled it) and CHIRP won't let me so i need to use the factory software.
If you have enabled cross band repeat on your radio already then the only thing you to do to use it is go to menu #11 on the radio called "turn" and make sure it is set to ON. If that is on then the radio will cross band repeat between the two channels.
@@greentruckandhamradio820 I was overthinking it and trying to make it harder that it is. I was trying to set everything up in software on one line. Duh, A cross bands to B. LOL. Appreciate the quick reply. I was on this radio sitting under trees and the roof on the porch talking to a fellow club member via the repeater. He asked if I was on a mobile or base. Apparently it sounds a lot better on the other end than the Baofeng UV5 types.
I still really like all of my TYT handhelds. Very good build quality for the price point, and like you said, lots of good signal reports! Glad you figured out what you were trying to do! Happy to help!
Try the newest version of CHIRP, it should solve that problem.
@@longrider42 Got it running smooth not long after. Solid radio. I'm seriously thinking of putting one with a battery eliminator in the van as my mobile with a hand mike as I run on my current 8000E.
If you have All 128 channels programmed ...can it then scan just Them ...or do you have to scan The Hole frequency net
If you are in memory mode, it will only scan the saved memory channels.
@@greentruckandhamradio820 thanks ...i try to find it
Sorry to bother you again ...but now i found the memory search ...but lets sat i have All 128 channels programmed..but in the top in the lcd its say 146.000
And the bottom .468.400
But when i say scan ...its only scan 4 channels ...event og i change from bottom to top
Push the "T-R" button so the radio changes from vfo mode to memory mode, then try scanning again.
@@greentruckandhamradio820
I tried and it Wil m still scan 4 channels..i know there is 128 channels stored ...and when in memory mode ,i can twist the knob and manuelly goes to channels All the way ,but if i scan in memory mode its only from channel 1to 4
Or els i have to scan The Hole frequency net ...
Mine came today. The charger doesn't work.
That sucks, contact your seller. Should be cheap to replace.
My tyt uv8000e has a hidden feature I have 2m and 70cm and 1.25 bands yes 3 bands
Yes I have converted one of my 8000D into a tri band as well. It is simple to change with the programming software from TYT. However TYT does not recommend transmitting on the 1.25 band as the radio is not built for it so use caution.
@@greentruckandhamradio820 I have a spectrum analyzer and nothing out of the ordinary.i checked the swr .the power . everything checks out good I think it's my guess to play it safe than sorry but the spectrum analyzer showed nothing abnormal
@@Ibelieve218 Thats awesome! I am only repeating what someone from TYT told me but I have never tested mine. Good to know!
