In these days of candy colored BSfeng 18w HTs, it's unusual to get more than is stated. TYT and Retevis stand out as they strive for excellence and honesty. Admiral these days.
You can fine tune the low and high power settings in 10 MHz increments. Using the TYT software, use the 'Program' drop down menu and with the radio connected click 'Test Online" at the bottom of the 'Program' drop down menu. Once you get there, the rest is self explanatory.
Very interesting info, I will check it out, thanks!
Battery full charged, without TX (just on stand by - RX), option 19 in menu RX power saver was 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).
Okay, first off. I've had mine for a little over two years. I use it as a base station, and as a mobile on my bicycle. Now here is the kicker, yes it is a 10 watt radio, on ONE frequency. In my case using an ABBREE 18.8 inch antenna, that frequency is 146.000, right in the middle of the two meter band. Where the SWR of the antenna is 1.0 and the power output is 10 watts. Now, I use a repeater that is 146.775, on that frequency I have a SWR of 1.03 and a power output of 9.97 watts. So in the end it is all about the antenna being tuned right.
Great review...but why does TYT lock all its radios? And how do you unlock this one? Are all TYTs locked? And all the reviews seem intent on telling us how the crossband repeater works. That's great, but little is said about unlocking the radios and why TYT would lock the radios to begin with. If I had to do it by attaching radios to a computer, I wouldn't buy one. I'm thinking of buying an 8000D (they're a few bucks cheaper) and a mobile TYT. But locking them when it's not necessary makes no sense. The 8000E manual says unlocking the radio without permission is illegal. No it's not. You can even use the radio to transmit.
Hi, could you recommend a telescopic antenna with SWR close to 1 for uv 8000d?
What's the difference between TYT-UV8000E and TYT-UV8000D
Here is a written review of the radio: www.hamradioreviews.eu/2016/10/10/tyt-uv8000e-review/
Thanks for this! I've subscribed now :)
🗣 I came up with the following numbers from my UV8000D. Even with a partially-depleted battery, it made little difference in the long run.
TYT UV8000D:
Frequency High Low
--------------------------------------------------------------
140.000 9.22W 6.03W
142.725 9.84W 6.03W
143.500 9.98W 6.05W
146.355 10.40W 6.23W
440.525 10.50W 5.73W
442.000 9.86W 5.68W
446.252 9.57W 5.58W
Another favorite of mine, the Baofeng BF-H6, pulled down these numbers:
Frequency HIGH MED LOW
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
140.000 8.76W 3.55W .857W
142.725 8.74W 3.67W .94W
143.500 8.71W 3.73W .968W
146.355 8.74W 3.90W 1.0W
440.525 8.53W 4.38W 1.35W
442.000 8.55W 4.38W 1.35W
446.252 8.52W 4.27W 1.32W
These are my two favorite radios. As you can see, the UV8000D is a true 10W radio, but one should see no practical difference. The advantage of the UV8000D/E is the cross band repeater, which is an amazing feature. The disadvantage, of course, is that the lowest numbers are still too high. And they eat away at your battery power. The BF-H6, on the other hand, has three power levels that lets you choose the one which is best for your needs. The UV8000D/E has only two power levels, High and Medium. Both are exceptional. 🌞🌛✨
What is the difference between TYT UV8000E and TYT TH-UV8000D?
They are practically identical. The "D" model had some issues with the audio, where it would start chopping up after some time of continuous reception. They have fixed the issue with the "E" model. Also, both models are "UV-..." and not "TH-UV...".
Ok, but on the official TYT website there is no model with "E"!
That's probably because they have either a: not updated it yet (it happens) or b: it is a "special" edition for a retailer.
E stands for export model.
Καλησπερα ποια η διαφορα του με το μοντελο 8000D μηπως ξερουμε?
Thank you for the power test :)
You are welcome!
I'm curious to know if the radio's power output improves on 2 meters if you use the battery eliminator. I know my FT-60 seems to put out a little more power when I plug in a external power source.
Great videos. 73.
You are right. I have an eliminator for the radio, so I will do a video on it. Thanks!
can u send me the link to buy one?, i don't found one in the market. Thank you for the review
Jurgen Creixell Torres Sure, here it is (affiliate): amzn.to/2e3Xslz
Nice thanks for the experience 👍🏾
And that mean the device not reach to real 10W in full way

@@longrider42 I have the TYT UV8000E over two years too and works quite good to transmitting, but the receiver sensitivity compared with a Wouxum KG-UV6D looks like worst. could you share the amazon link to buy the ABBREE antenna that you comment, please ?
@James Hart I bought the ABBREE 18.8inch antenna and I absolutly dissapointed with the performance. The antenna es worst than stock antennas included with UV8000E. I don´t know how you connected the ABBREE antennas cause of base is oversize and it need to "cut" rubber on base to fit the antenna output correctly. Other people that see this comment, please don´t do it.
Pls make also the power test of yaesu ft65r thankyou
Interestingly, it's more powerful on 70cm than 2m. Most of the radios are the other way around.
Do you happen to have the tri-band version UV8000SE?
Hello, yes, being more powerful on 70cm is surely something out of the ordinary. No, I do not have the tri-band UV8000SE.
IS there a tri-band version of this radio? Guide me to it, if you please! I've never seen one, but would like to have one if they exist. For that matter, does anyone know if there is a practical difference between the UV8000E and the UV8000D other than cosmetics and labeling? For that matter is there a difference between the TYT UV8000D (or) E and the TYT TH-UV8000D (or) E? I've seen them listed and advertised both ways, some with the "TH", some without. The ads never mention any differences but it would be good to know if anyone has input on this.
@@bradhollis1005 There was a tri-band version UV8000SE. It is no longer available. The difference between the D and the E version is that the E version has some glitches of the D version fixed.
I purchased a "D" version since Radioditty was sold out of the "E" version so I'm hoping you're willing to be a little bit more specific regarding the glitches that the E version solved.
I'm also wondering if there is a difference between the uv8000 and the TH-uv8000. I see them advertised both ways, with and without the "TH".
Thank you, you are a much appreciated source of information as well as inspiration.
@@bradhollis1005 the D version had a glitch where audio becomes distorted after a long period. Please see here: www.hamradioreviews.eu/2016/10/10/tyt-uv8000e-review/ I have the E version still in box, never even unpacked. Bought it a couple of years ago and never used. Let me know if you're interested. I can sell it to you.
το χρησιμοποιώ τουλαχιστον 10 ωρες την ημερα 1 χρονο τωρα και δουλευει απροβληματιστα. πολυ πιο δυνατο απο τα ICOM των 290 ευρω που χρησιμοποιουμε στην υπηρεσια!!!
Είναι πιο δυνατό, ναι. Είναι πραγματικά τα 10W που βγάζει. Πάντως θα συνιστούσα να το χρησιμοποιείς στο Low, καθώς 10W είναι πολλά για να εκπέμπεις μπροστά στο πρόσωπό σου όλη μέρα.
ΠΟΛΥ ΚΑΛΟ ΤΟ ΤΕΣΤ !
Does this radio actually receive narrow band when in Narrow Band mode (not all Chinese brands do that)?
I believe it does, as the audio is a bit lower when receiving with bandwidth set to narrow. How could I test this to be sure?
You should be able to hear the difference if you tune in to any commercial or public safety frequency, that you know uses narrow band, and switch between narrow and wide.
Oh OK. Then yes, the radio receives narrow band properly.
Great! Have you tested it and noticed the difference?
Φίλε σε κεραία επάνω έκανες τις δοκιμές ή σε dummy load ??
Καλημέρα. Σε κεραία, όλες τις λεπτομέρειες τις αναφέρω στο βίντεο.
Καλησπέρα. Το ίδιο μηχανάκι σε φορτίο Bird 100W με γέφυρα Bird mod.44 με peak button και καλώδιο RG-214 double sheild μου έβγαλε 10,8 W στα VHF και 9,3 στα UHF και αντίστοιχα στην low σκάλα έβγαλε 4,5 W στα VHF και 3,9 W στα UHF.
Να ξέρεις ότι σε δοκιμές νέων μηχανημάτων RF είναι προτιμότερο να υπάρχει dummy load για ακριβέστερα και σωστότερα συμπεράσματα.
73.
Michael Markakis Ευχαριστώ. Το έχεις σε βίντεο να το δούμε; Δεν μπορεί να συγκριθεί η Bird με το Nissei επίσης...
I'm buying one of these radios partially because of your review, however, you're obviously getting a kickback on the sale so, this begs the question is your review impartial and unbiased?
Honestly, I wouldn't think so.
I don't think it is appropriate accusing someone that they are not impartial and unbiased. I suppose you should just stop watching UA-cam reviews on products then, because guess what... that's how it works. For the record, I still have and use my TYT UV8000E.
You misunderstand, I wasn't accusing you of being biased. I was simply asking if that could be the case since sponsored reviewers so frequently are. As I mentioned, I'm actually purchasing one of these radios based on your review.
Hello, I'm interested in this handset, is it possible scanning ctcss/dcs?
Hello, yes you can scan codes with it. I have a small video (hrrvideotips hashtag) on how to do it here: wp.me/P800qu-5T
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?
Dejan Vujcic
No I haven't. I might do it sometime in the future. Thanks!
I have watched those emissions on you tube and I decided to buy TYT UV8000E. So at the beginning I must say I'M DISAPPOINTED!!! I have two pieces now, I have tested on many frequencies UHF and VHF. I have not yed tested in open area, but normal I need them to be functional in TOWN, IN AREA WITH BUILDINGS AND HOUSES! With original small antenas, at the earth level, not from the floors high, I have reach connection approximately JUST 200-300 METER AIR LINE!!!!!!!! With others, hi gain antennas, JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE, about 400-500m air line!!! (town area) and of course set on high power. I Don't know what are those WATTS but with 5w Motorolla I have ~4km air line in town area( my town is about ~6km in diameter). I'm so DISAPOINTED And I think something is made in electronic on these chinese toys to show those watts on the SWR Power meter but i believe in reality they shows some FAKE POWER. From earlier, I have also two pieces Baofeng UV5-RTP 8W and With 17cm long antenna these are better. Real, according with the reachable distance, I give 0,5W of LOW power and 1W on HIGH power.
Jane Georgievski Are u sure??? my baofeng UV5R and 888s, they can communicate 2km away in the forest. But only reach 300-500m in town are, because there's a lot of house...
First off, get rid of the stock antenna. Get the ABBREE, either the 15 inch or the 18 inch, you will notice how much better your radio gets. Okay, second, I've had mine for a little over two years. I use it as a base station, and as a mobile on my bicycle. Now here is the kicker, yes it is a 10 watt radio, on ONE frequency. In my case using an ABBREE 18.8 inch antenna, that frequency is 146.000, right in the middle of the two meter band. Where the SWR of the antenna is 1.0 and the power output is 10 watts. Now, I use a repeater that is 146.775, on that frequency I have a SWR of 1.03 and a power output of 9.97 watts. So in the end it is all about the antenna being tuned right.
