    Greetings CRUSADERS!!!! Welcome to the video. I am unboxing a TYT TH-9000D 70cm single band radio and then making the DB-9 modification so that we can use it on Hamvoip for AllStar Link. This radio is PERFECT for AllStar.

      Thanks Ham Radio Dude! I have two AllStar Link nodes running on the TYT TH-9000D radios and I LOVE THEM!!!! I couldn't have asked for a better deal. The radio's don't ever get hot and the transmit and receive audio is GREAT!!

      LMBO!! The best cutting mat that Wal-Mart sells Ha Ha Ha!!! Ever since I discovered the TYT TH-9000D I was impressed and relieved that there was an Alinco alternative out there. And that the 220Mhz version is always readably available.

    Masters Communications sells the Rim Alinco Device for Allstar for these radios as well.

      I apologize. I misspoke when I said Masters Communications. I should have said the Rim Alinco is available at Repeater Builders site.

    I think risking a little stress on the solder joints to route it away from that super hot "60 watt" transistor might be worth it. It's worth a thought as to not melt your new cable.

      @@HamRadioCrusader Great video. I'm planning on doing something similar soon. Might I recommend you reverse the direction of the 120 fan on your home radio. It's best to draw the hot air away from the radio and creates better air flow. Your fan will probably become noisy with all the air disruption between it and the radio as is.

      If they have proper cooling and surge suppression I think they have the potential to last a long time. Awesome Radio

  • @RandallRash
    @RandallRash 9 місяців тому +2

    Is this your setup for getting your local repeater on Allstar? Is it doing crossband repeat...hence the need for extra cooling?

    • @HamRadioCrusader
      @HamRadioCrusader  6 місяців тому

      Sorry for the late reply Randall. Some of these comments get away from me. The extra cooling all comes down to “Duty Cycle” these radios are designed for a 5-5-90 duty cycle. Transmit 5% of the time and RX 5% of the time and idle 90% of the time. But when used as a local area node or a repeater transmitter, the duty cycle goes up exponentially and makes the transmitting radio overheat. Thus the need for external cooling.

    These radios will not power up in "on" condition after a power outage. There is a connector on the back for "external power" which appears to be an ignition sense port. I think you could wire it to 12v permanently but the small barrel connector is difficult to find. It appears that TYT doesn't really sell that cable. When I made my own, it didn't work.
    Do do you just live with the fact that the radio doesn't stay on?

      @@HamRadioCrusader mine definitely do not power on in their last state. I wonder if there's a version difference. These are the 220 radios. I feel that this should be a software option but there is no mention of programming it in The Limited instruction manual. If you programmed yours from the front panel and they work properly that kind of indicates that you don't need the software to change it. The frustrating thing is is that once I did find a plug to fit the little external power jack it still doesn't power up properly. I'd be very interested in finding out more about how you got yours to work! I believe I'm still in the window of time to return them but I don't really want to have to go through that hassle.
