Thanks for showing how to put a frequency in memory. I've been trying to figure this out all week ;-) And yes, I do have the manual. It's nearly inscrutable. I programmed the radio with the cable. But if I take a trip and want to program a repeater frequency &c to memory, well, you've showed me how to do it. Thanks!
I've had one now for two years, and it will do ten watts, if the SWR on the frequency is 1.0. I run a 18.8 inch abbree antenna on mine, and on a local repeater frequency I have a SWR of 1.03. I think the frequency is 144.775, some where around the middle of the band. My power output on that frequency is 9.97 watts. So it all depends on how well your HT and your antenna are set up.
Thank you, you explained how to access the FM receiver easy. Something I could not figure out. Also CHIRP will now program this radio. I love mine. Its a good little radio.
Battery full charged, without TX (just on stand by - RX), option 19 in menu RX power saver was OFF,18-DW=OFF, battery last at the first radio - 25 hours, the second radio - 28 hours until itself turns OFF. From total empty battery, needs 8,5 hours to full charge (until green lit).
Thx sir, this TYT HT 10 watts high power radio does appear to be a better option than the BaoFeng offering of only 8 watts. Is it slightly more expensive than it's counterpart? I would like to see you demonstrate more on the manual settings, especially on it's high power transmission. The lengthier antenna, larger capacity battery & sturdier built looks promising for a beginner to HAM. Cheers!
There isn't much difference at all really in performance between 8W and 10W. I think if you look at other videos you'll see this radio doesn't actually reach 10W. A 5W radio is good enough for most people. I don't like the idea of holding a 10W transmitter right next to my head so would personally not use this on high power mode anyway
I see that this radio covers UHF 400-500. My question... is there a required modification or can an operater just enter an FRS frequency such as 462.562.5 from the key pad on this radio? Good review thank you.
What's the dif between the TYT TH-8000D and 8000E? I just got the former and it seemingly has all the bells and whistles of the 8000E, and out of the box Menu 11 (cross band repeater) toggles on and off without issue and when I ran the software, the cross band repeater function was on and working perfectly, and there was no printed sticker under the battery. I then suspected the radio had been programmed, returned, then resold to me, but I saw no sign of it being repackaged and, again, no label under the battery. So two questions. What's the difference between the two models and also, when stored, should the battery be removed from the radio and stored separately, or should it be stored attached and the radio turned off?
@radiosification i've noticed there is a scan setting in the menu. Is that an automated channel scan or something else? As neither the manual nor the manufacturers site mentions anything about having a scan function
I can't remember about this particular radio but usually they have scan enabled or disabled per channel and then when you scan on the radio it just scans the channels which were enabled for scan in the software
Any idea why when i try to use the repeater function is not working and i hear Error message ? I Press F then 1 again 1 i see scan off then F to change and there i hear error and i can't do anything. Any idea how to fix this problem ?
going from 5w to 10w is +3db so will show approximately half an S point gain, not really going to make everyone go out and buy one is it. Keep the 5w output and make a duel band vhf & uhf hand held that has DMR aswell that would be a massive seller.
Yeah I agree, it's not life changing having double the power, but it will make some difference. Combining this with a better antenna, the radio should give a noticeably better range than a normal dual band on 5W with a stock antenna. I also agree with your second point. A dual band DMR radio would sell incredibly well.
Going from my uv82 5watt to my uv82hp. I more than doubled my suburban range ht to ht. 1 mile for 5 watt 2.5 miles for 8 watt both radios were tested with the nagoya 701 antenna. I just ordered this tyt8000e and a nagoya 771. I am expecting to get 3.5 mile suburban range. My goal is to reach my mom's house 3.5 miles away.
Very useful video. Ya.....it has been a long time .......there was no new video? Can you talk a little about a single frequency repeater? How does it work. Thanks.
@@jafarsidik180 just saw this comment again. I've now done a video on DMR single frequency repeaters. A couple of videos actually. One on the gd-88 and the other on the hytera pd985
I notice you have the Channel name showing if it exists, and the frequency if there is no name. I have a UV8000D and am trying to do the same. Could you advise what setting value might accomplish this?
I can't remember for this radio specifically but there is usually a menu option. I think it's usually called mode or something like that. One of the options is frequency and then there will be channel and name, or something like that. Setting it to name would get it to show the channel name.
I don't know if that is something you can change then, I think it's just set for the model. The 8000E is a later model than the 8000D so I guess that must have been one of the upgrades they made.
im looking at getting this radio in the UK, me and a group of friends like to drive in convoy and was wondering what kind of distance could you get out of this being within a tin shell???? Or is their something more suitable for that task in your opinion
I think any of these sort of radios will work fine for you. You can get magmount antennas that go on top of the car to give you better range, because using a handheld in a car will probably block a lot of the signal. Licensing will be an issue. The only real license you could use would be amateur radio, but then the people you're talking to would need one too. Alternatively you could try CB radio. That way you don't have to worry about licenses and the range should be much greater if you get decent antennas. CB radios would be installed in the vehicles (either permanently or you can get a 12V lighter socket plug to power them) and the antennas would stick on the roof of the car by magnets. CB radios are not too expensive and you'd probably end up spending as much on an antenna as you will on the radio, if you go down that route.
Hi I have a question on the MD 380 I tried installing the upgraded software but when I turn the radio on it does not turn on all the way do you knkw why that is.
@@lukeWiz44 oh okay. No, it only does cross band repeat. The reason for this is that you generally need cavities for single band repeaters to separate them enough so that the RX side isn't desensitised by the TX side. With the exception of things that repeat by using TDMA such as TETRA and DMR single frequency repeaters
Sir can you help me how to program or store duplex maritime frequency without using p.c where the tx frequency is diff. from its receiving frequency? Thanks a lot
@@radiosification i have other marine radio sir. The diff. is icom walkie talkie available here is single band, tyt is dual band thats why i bought this tyt. I just want to know if it is possible to program duplex frequency using only its keypad? Tnx
@@noelaspilla7145 if you aren’t a HAM operator, or a special licensing in your country, this radio is illegal to use. This should never be used for transmitting outside of authorized bands.
Thank you! I'm interested in and that I see in the software, there is the possibility of manual adjustment of power at frequencies the part of the menu: program/test online. Have you tried it?
FM is analogue. Okay, yes you can have digital modes using frequency modulation but normally when someone says a radio is FM, it means analogue FM. If it was a digital mode then they would just say the name of the digital mode instead, like DMR or P25.
This is not suitable for mission critical applications. Buy a good brand of radio like Motorola, icom, Kenwood, hytera, Tait. I don't know if you would be able to communicate with hospitals because I don't know what type of system they use in your area, and what frequencies.
Then it should probably work as long as it's not a trunking system being used. But I still don't recommend you to use any of these cheap chinese radios. They're simply not reliable enough.
radiosification I've got a uniden analog scanner. I'm able to pick up hospitals and roaming ambulances.. but ill be done with medic school soon. looking for my own reliable peice. but don't have a whole Lotta cash.
I don't know, I didn't really think about it. I personally don't really worry about it because I've seen some CBers using thousands of watts into a mobile antenna and standing right by it.
Some reports I've read regarding RF burns from the 8w Baofengs, I had one for a short time and swore I could feel it when I was transmitting. Decided to keep my UV-5R with a decent antenna and a high capacity battery.
haha yeah I dunno, I doubt it's really dangerous though. I wouldn't want to stand next to a 10W microwave transmitter for long, but I think the 400MHz band probably won't have any effect on the body
