@@pyrmontweb Perhaps, in your region, that may be true. There is no issue with the CRCT in setting up these radios as the secondary radio stations for rural first responder dispatch services, and primary radios for commercial use for both rural and urban areas. They only need to have a few things tested at installation and to follow antenna restriction according to location. For volunteer services, there are no restrictions as long as band coordinations are met and local antenna restrictions met. They may even be installed as repeater configurations for volunteer services. They can not be used by aircraft, nor for commercial watercraft at all. As previously mentioned, this is in reference to where I reside. Your local and national laws may vary.
Thanks for showing that it can receive AM CB radio frequencies. The specs did not make it clear if AM could be used on those frequencies. This is the only place I could find that information.
After watching your video I bought on of these. Never had a ham radio before and it looks like fun. I'm taking some on line classes to get legal. I'm a old guy and getting sick of watching TV all day with my cat. I.m kind of house bound.. How do you get to frequency range in Chirp? I saw you had to enter a password. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I got it working!!!! It took a while butt this old man finally got. OK, Is there way to set the distance between . well I want to make go 1 kz at a time. Right now from the factory it skips all over on the CB band. I Love thebinternet. Wish it was around when I was younger. Thanks guys
@@kurtphillips8301 Push the center menu button, select, "STEP." using one of the knobs and push the knob in. Use the knob to rotate between 2.5, 5, 6.25, 12. For the local CB frequencies, select 5Khz. Push the knob to enter it. Now push the center menu key. You will not have 5 kilohertz steps. Unfortunately, there is no 1 kilohertz steps programmed for the TYT TH-9800 varients. Mainly HF transceivers have that. An HF transciever is a transciever that receives and transmit between 30Khz to 29.999Mhz. At 30Mhz to infinity, the 1 kilohertz steps for radios are not common to find.
Your welcome. Please note the limitations for 10m as it is FM only...but AM/FM receive. I would really,really like this as an ALL-mode QUAD ! Alos, I have not tested, but I beleive you can manipulate it to get 70cm (not the best receive or TX power) and loose the 70cm band.
I guess it's possible maybe with reprogramming the radio firmware. I know they made some models with 144/220/450. I have not experimented with expanding the range beyond what was documented. Problem would be since the radio was not intended to transmit there there would be no TX filtering and minimal RF output.
I’m new to Ham. I just bought one of these and I am having a really hard time with it. Seems like my baofeng transmits and receives clearer than this unit no matter what power I use or antenna I use. Pretty frustrating, but like I said, I’m pretty new so maybe I’m do ping something wrong.
Please give attention to your coaxial cable. A bad coaxial cable will cripple a station worse than a bad radio or a bad antenna. It is a very affordable investment that yields volumes for your station. If it is a new cable, change the ends. There could be a manufacturing error in one of the ends. Even if the coaxial cable tests good with an ohm meter, it could still be questionable. As the cable moves, the ends will move as well. Give it a try. You may find the answer to be very simple. Also, what is the standing wave ratio reading at the radio?
The 9800 crossband option is available for VHF and UHF only. (VHF+VHF , VHF+UHF , UHF/VHF, or UHF+UHF ) IF you opened the frequency range up on VHF and UHF those ranges allow crossband as well.
Some say a Comet Tri Band . I don't know of any good quad band antennas. I have a dual band and use it for UHF/VHF. I am sure an antenna tuner would help as well
As usual b fang doesn't include a program cable. Bought a dm1801 for dmr and the idots sent me a eu plug had to wait for adapter so i could charge just to find out i also didn't have in all my cable's a programming cable still waiting for it😢😢😮

@@pauldicorso4882 No, not yet. We've kinda wrote that rig off for 11 meters. My signal is very faint and sometimes unreadable to him so a traditional CB does much better in that regard.

It can be used to transmit on FM CB. But it will not transmit on SSB, nor AM. It can, however, listen to AM. Have your friend switch to FM and you will hear each other clearly. This is, of course, if he has a multimode CB radio.
@@MrThisIsMeToo CB radio also uses FM, USB, LSB, and CW, as well. There are some old and cheaper CB radios that are only AM. If your friend has one ask your friend to get a multimode CB. Using a 259 centimeter antenna on the roof of my house, with a homemade ground plane, I can achieve about 40 kilometers with the 5 watt FM legal limit. However, if the power selector button is pushed, "accidentally," I can go much further. AM, USB, LSB, and CW go tremendously further many times, even with the 5 watt legal limit on AM and 12 watt legal limit on USB, LSB, CW. FM is just much clearer.

Had one. Couldn't wait to get rid of it. One antenna port, so you either had to buy their worthless quad band antenna or get a coax switch to an antenna for each band There is no 10 FM activity to speak of. 6 meter FM, maybe. Unit needs SSB and AM. 2m & 70cm repeater use was good and in all fairness I had mine before 11 meter FM was legal
What about using an external duplexer with two different antennas. I have set some up with triplexers with three different antennas. The coaxial switch is a very poor idea. They are a favourite for rural services radio stations. The 50 watt maximum is all that is needed in rural areas.
Do not worry about using a transceiver with an illegal mode or illegal power. If you speed in your automobile, worry about stopping that first. That can kill you, and others. Using FM on 11 meters will never kill you. Using more power, unless it is a horrible amount, will not kill you either. After you stop speeding in your automobile, then worry about legal radio modes. However, I will never transmit on a frequency I have no license to use. That is the same as trespassing. The 11 meter transceiver in my vehicle transmits 20 watts. So what! It probably gets about 1 kilometre further than the 4 watts.
I set up a lot of these radios. I have used humble 10 ampere switching power supplies for installations. There have been no issues. I have also used top of the line, variable power supplies as well. The important part is to make sure the DC voltage is as clean as possible and at least 5 amperes. However, I prefer to use the 10 ampere for the minimum because there will be enough power left over for other things to be operated from the same power supply.
@@indridcold84335 amps will not run this radio on high power.It’s also a waste of money since this radio is a POS & will not last.You can’t give me another one for FREE.💩
IT sure would be nice that and accommodate proper stepping. Mobile ham Multi-modes are really needed. No matter the manufacturer there are limitations with each one, many are really similar. My issue is with Icom. They have a IC-705. They have an IC-7300. Would it not make sense to make a 100w model of the 705. I know I could just have gotten that and a 100w linear instead of the 7300. Mayybe I should have went with the Yeasu 991
I am not quite sure. Mine was a "D" model but it also stated with stickers all over it was a "PLUS" model. I know they made a previous model that had 220 in it and maybe have lacked 70cm. One thing I can tell you, the D model does not include DMR functions.
From what I remember you CAN add 220 but you will loose 440. The 220 does not have that much power out. They made one with a 220 version advertised, but didn't come with 440. Similar mods allowed the switch for all models with varying results.
Yes, it can use CHIRP, I haven’t tried it yet. The factory software is needed to open it up. It does have its limitations on on the lower bands not being all mode. I’m making a part 2 to go over some limitations of this radio mostly on 11,10

It can also do 49Mhz public free frequencies, upcoming MURS radio, FRS and GMRS, amateur radio, and radio frequencies for other licensed services. I have set some up for volunteer fire brigades, rural ambulance services, backup transceivers for constable stations, PEG radio stations, and, of course, amateur radio operators. Please remember, your nation's communications ministry may not allow wattage above 5 watts where you reside. However, they may not allow you to speed in your automobile as well. Which one is more dangerous, transmitting more power on 11 meters, or speeding in your automobile? Which one have you done recently? That is why I have little issues with stretching the rules of communications ministries.
Be careful. You will be unlocking a tremendous amount of transmit power. Public utilities, ambulance service, bus services, rural constables, fire departments, tow truck services, taxi, security companies, trucking companies, and much more, are now all at your fingertips. What you can hear, you can talk to except the frequencies above 510Mhz. If you do not exercise self control, you will lose more than your radio. You may feel like saying, "Drop that poodle you disgusting police pig. It is not evidence and it will not cure the loneliness you feel for the love of a woman!" But, you must fight that temptation. Stay on CB, 49Mhz, MURS (if your nation has it), FRS, PMR446, LPR433, or get an amateur radio license or PEG radio license. If your nation requires a license for GMRS get a licnense fr that. GMRS and PEG radio require no exams. The rest of the services mentioned require no license, except amateur radio. But amateur radio linceses are easy t get. Any interest in it will almost guarantee a lincesne. If you are a human doorstop, you will not get the lincesne. But you still have CB, 49MHZ, MURS,FRS, GMRS, PEG.
@@cloudstrife5209 Please remember to backup your already recorded channels before you do the frequency expansion. I made a rather ugly mistake with someone else's radio.

Stay on CB, 49Mhz, MURS (if your nation has it), FRS, PMR446, LPR433, or get an amateur radio license or PEG radio license. If your nation requires a license for GMRS get a licnense fr that. GMRS and PEG radio require no exams. The rest of the services mentioned require no license, except amateur radio. But amateur radio linceses are easy t get. Any interest in it will almost guarantee a lincesne. If you are a human doorstop, you will not get the lincesne. But you still have CB, 49MHZ, MURS,FRS, GMRS, PEG.
@Indrid Cold I will, this made me laugh though 😆
What's the password you have used to unlock it plzzz
Thanks
@@cloudstrife5209 Please remember to backup your already recorded channels before you do the frequency expansion. I made a rather ugly mistake with someone else's radio. Good thing the owner had all the frequencies printed out. I am sure he did not like manually entering all the frequencies. But, he got a great discount on my installation services.
I have this radio it doesn’t let me transmit on my local repeatrs do you guys know the problem
Sorry your having trouble with this radio. If you have the proper CTCSS tone and set the input and output frequencies properly , I don't see why you would have any trouble. One thing to check is the FM mode setting if it is on Wide or Narrow. I hope this helps.
@@EricTechstuffs I want to order a. swr / watt meter to test my tyt th9800 to see if it’s using full power…. Would any Swr/watt meter work there is 30$ meter on Amazon
@@warzone7571 As long as it is with the frequency range you want to test. It wouldn't be a bad idea to put the watt meter model your looking at into UA-cam and see if someone has done a review of it.
