    Does someone make an op manual that is easier to understand than the one which obviously came from a primitive Chinese-to-English translator?

    Thanks for the video. On your version of the TCA how do you set offsets for receivers? The old version had an S-D option in the menu. Thanks for any help

      I am unsure on that yet, but I will be working on that in the near future and will release another video when I'm done doing that.

    I know I’m years late, but you aren’t getting sound through the speaker because your radio is set to TOT. This is headset only. You must switch to MOI for handset usage, and there is also a setting to auto detect a 6 pin connection and switch only the fly.

      @crashhhblast I played around with the menu, turned off the PTT function and turned on the speaker, then did the opposite, and it worked just fine.

      You have to message the seller, depending in the radio you have, with the TCA I was able to download the software and set up everything in the software, then I was able to plug in the radio and it just downloaded all of the Information I had preset on the computer onto the radio

    What’s the purpose of this aside from cloning the real one for the looks first milsim or whatever. Just curious to why so many seemed to have bought into these Chinese clones that are huge in comparison to some other radio to accomplish the same thing with less size an weight

      I mean yeah that's pretty much it, but they more robust than Beofang Radios in alot of ways for alot of reasons, they also have been Accessories to go with them, and are more user friendly to channel and program.
      I like them alot better than the competition.
