I appreciate this video telling of the change. I just received my 9800 and decided to look around UA-cam for information and found this video. I do not know yet if mine has 220 on it but if it does, I am glad that the change was made. This means I can crossband from 220 to 10 in my area where there is a lack of 220 use and will have less chance of someone wanting to use my setup. I can also do the same for 6m to 220. I will be promoting the three less used bands. If anything, I would like to see 2m changed with 440. There is a large number of radios available for use on 2m with many with 70cm for a dual band. Just think of it, you can crossband on 220 around the house or the neighborhood and work 29.6 and have another radio for just 2m/70cm. The same could be done with 6m. I have been to Texas and I know there are 6m repeaters around not to mention simplex work when the band opens up. I look at this radio as a supplement to my other radio equipment. Heck, if I read it correctly, you could crossband from 50.3, the lowest you can go on 6m using FM onto 29.6. This would mean that I could monitor 29.6 while transmitting on 50.3 and possibly hear myself during an opening. Here in Arizona, I know that the 6m band can open up into Texas and Missouri on FM. I also know that my friends in CA. can work your area on 6m FM from past experience. This unique radio is something to grab ahold of in my opinion. Can't wait to check mine and see if it works on 220. If it doesn't, I'd consider trading yours for mine. I'd be disappointed if it doesn't work on 220. I didn't buy mine for the 440 band. Again, I appreciate your making the video and alerting me to something I did not know about. To me this is a pleasant surprise. N7NGM
there are two versions of the th 98-00 one has 2,6,10,440 and the other one is 2,6,10,220.i have agree with you wish they got rid 6 or 10 meters instead of 440.and put 220.
I'm a 220 fan as well and I also think it's a mistake to omit 440 from this radio just to make way for 220 MHz. Although I use 440 a lot for both repeater and simplex communication, I also routinely use the 440 band to cross-band repeat over to, as there are some types of control data you're not supposed to use the 144 band for, which means you HAVE to use the 440 band for this purpose. If they really felt the need to include the 220 band then they should have added it to the existing bands and made it a five-band transceiver. If this wasn't possible, then why not simply change the model number of the 440-less version and market BOTH models rather than completely drop 440 altogether? I don't get this move either...
I've been interested in the 10m/6m/2m/70cm version and am afraid that they'd ship me one of these (I want 10m but would really hate to lose 440, which is the most common band around here). Thanks for the honest assessment.
you should show the radio running scan mode , i think the 220 model of this radio is for guys wanting a second radio in the shack.... looking to pick up a new band ( 220 ) with out having to buy a 220 only radio....
im looking at this model to replace my kenwood tm-742 that has no computer programming interface....
i'm not plugging in 50 more repeaters by hand ever again!
I would like to see this unit scan 11 meters AM , 10fm , 6 fm ,
and toss in the 6 m ssb channels so we know the band might be open.
i larger problem will be geting a antenna for this radio , hard to find one antenna that covers the 4 bands...
you will need a duplexer or two i think and more then one antenna.
I just ordered mine today
Can we see your whole t shirt? Looks interesting.
Thanks.
So the question I have is after watching several video's on this radio, what mobile antenna do you pair with it? Any recommendations?
Young man I been watching you awhile Now!
Ur The Best & very thorough!
Now my hubby is asking
To program this EXACT
Same model for us?
U hook it up to my computer then do a screen share from yo end
Just can’t do it! We old &
Newbies

Many thanks kiddo and keep on with the vids.

Good video I agree with you on the bands it should have
Dose it have sideband and let me guess they have 11 meter as well
Thanks!
Welcome!
Yes thanks for the Video ..
TYT other products seem be good I have two Th-9000D (220) Mobil's no subs for the RF there.
I would not be happy w/ 20watts Q-Band & loosing 440 either 😵! Seemed low on 10 FM also. Thanks for your Video ...
What is a good antenna to use on it if it’s in my house? Or can I use a vehicle antenna?
On the old plus model, is there a way to open RX to receive the entire 29 MHz to 950 MHz ?
Or part of the range ?
More than just 29-33 50-54 108-174 350-512. 750-950 ?
Yes RX has always been wide on this model. They used to come that way, no need to open anything up
@@HamRadio2 is it full from 28 to 950, or just the ranges on the box ?
If it is just the ranges on the box, is there a way to open up the full range from 174 to 350 and 512 to 750 ?
It would be nice if I could receive the 222 band and the 500 & 600 band
The FCC sold the 600 band for LMR and the 500 band, at least the bottom of it, is already for LMR and I heard they were selling off the rest for LMR.
I have a few scanners that cover 25 to 950, but they don't have the spacing. The 5,6.25, 10, 12.5 are not in the older scanners
The 600 band is supposed to be 3.125 spaced Ultra Narrow FM
Back in the 80s and 90s there were military institutions that used that spacing and I think the Icom ham radio with VFO and SSB could tune their fire departments and security, but no scanner picked up those frequencies.
It would be nice to have a mobile radio that could
I like to monitor the PTC and ATCS
I am thinking I could put a discriminator tap on this radio and use it to log the data as I travel.
It is a long shot, but if I could do everything with one radio I would like to.
Thanks
Around here most of 440 is digital -- but 220 is mostly FM
So makes sense ,I'm figuring that's common if they did that .
For a fm only good ...
10 mtrs picking up and heard 10 fm on receiver ..
I'm actually glad they got rid of a
Mostly digital band 440 that's useless on a fm rig
I am new with the ham radio, I bought this one and was wondering if it HAS to be installed in your car
no mobile radio "must be installed in a car". only need a correct power supply in the home shack, and your good to go.
@@larryjanson4011 Awesome, I did also get a power supply. Thanks!!
@@denised3157 make sure the power supply is at least 30 amps at 13.8 volts, otherwise it will "neuter" the radio's wattage output on transmit not giving you the full rated output. Also you might want to ditch the "cheesy" plastic fuse holders and replace them with sturdier car audio amplifier fuse holders, I've found the plastic fuse holders that come on mobile radio wiring harnesses can fail because they aren't very secure.
I would buy this today if it could do digital modes. It does ALL the bands where US Technicians Licensees are allowed to use voice. Does it at 50 watts which is 150% more powerful than the Xiegu g90, which is what I am probably going to buy. AND its $200 less. Then only downsides for me is:
#1 no built in antenna tuner, which adds additional cost.
#2 no data modes.
#3 no CW capability.
I am a former Novice that let my license expire so I started out sending and reading CW.
Jason - what is the difference between the TYT TH 8900 and the TYT TH 8900 Plus. (Other than a name change).
Is tyt 220 band th9000d still being made and how would it compair to the Alinco dr235? Want to get this band( 220) and hopefully find a repeater near me active
Yes, still made. It is higher power than the Alinco, but the Alinco is a better radio, overall.
Hi :)
I own one of these , but its says on the box...29/50/144/430 + 108 AM airband. i dont think its got SSb... to bad.. i like this radio, its my first radio, and im using it to lern. but i want SSb and Cw also... Here in my country nobody uses the walkie talkie anymore...the 11 meter... maybe a few, just for fun. but 2meter is popular, and i want to get into Sota, but then the SSb is used.... so this radio is like... good for fun, but not exelent for everything... im no millionair, so i have to take what i can afford.
Best regards from Norway.
+Jon Eirik Martinsen No, this radio doesn't do SSB. It is FM-only, although it will receive on AM for the aircraft bands and CB bands (USA). Most people on 2M and 70cm are using FM, but there are some folks on USB also.
Ok, tnx :)
I disagree on the removal of 440 being a mistake. Because of the interference with PAVE PAWS and the Air Force restricting power output on the repeaters - I don't know anyone using 440.
In your area, I guess that would be good. But in most areas, like mine, there is more activity on 440 than any other band, including 2-meters.
mpoertner the 440 repeaters in Tucson are alive and well. We do have interference (pop corn noise) from Davis Monthan AFB. We also have 10/6/220/900 and 1.2ghz mhz repeaters.
Hello i have the same radio tyt th9800 plus im having trouble accessing on my local repeaters in my area with this Tyt 9800....I have a baofeng uv-5r and i have no problem accessing the repeaters I just got it brand new.....??? i read alot of comments from other people saying is a firmware i just got this radio 2021
I have not seen this version. All the ones I have seen say 29\54/VHF/UHF/750-950
The difference between the 9800 and the 9800 plus, I am not sure exactly what the difference is between those 2
What is the model called for this one with 220 ?
So this is 29/54/VHF/220 ?
What is the RX only Frequencies ?
Is there a mod make it RX the 440 & 750-950 MHz ?
Or does it receive those right out of the box ?
dd Do the frequencies stored in the A B C D E F keys appear only in the left VFO? Is there no way to make them appear on the right side?
So it replaces 70cm with 1.25 meters?
can you tell me if the new radios still have the 440 band in them
There are 2 versions. One with 440, and one with 220.
thanks so i guess i won't know until it comes. It was advertised with 440 . this is not good as its on the way lol
Do they still make the one with 70 cm I was thinking of purchasing? Thanks kk6sfk
+r8rsean71 Yes, that is the main one. I am not aware of many sold with 220, I think it was somewhat of a failed model. The original still sells very well though.
Does it have SSB for 10m and 6m? How does it do with digital modes? Is it a standard SingnaLink cable connection or do you have to make your own connection? Will it do AM on 2m?
It’s an FM ONLY Radio.
Hi. How are the knobs compared to the yaesu?
Very similar but not the same
hi,thanks for shere..Is it a yaesu's ft8900R clone?
...73s..
hi what radio u recomend. i see icon 2730a. anytone etc wouxon 980p. ?
i recently buy th tyt th 9800D plus. i start learning i new from cb many things for learn
I HAVE THE 2M-70CM RADIO..JUST GOT IT ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO ON E-BAY AT A GREAT PRICE I PAID $210 DOLLARS SENT TO MY HOUSE..IT IS A GREAT RADIO..I DON'T THINK I WILL TRY THIS ONE I'M LIKE HAM RADIO 2.0--I THINK THEY MADE A BIG MISTAKE IN DROPPING 440 AN THE POWER OF THIS ONE DOES NOT IMPRESS ME AT ALL..
Did the order say that it was 220 instead of 440? I just bought one and it says it is 440. I hope that is the one I get.
+bubblehead7680 The 220 model that I have looks exactly the same as the original model. The box, manual, packaging, radio... all the same. You won't be able to tell which one it is until you open it and power it up. So ask whoever you bought it from.
Hello,
Love watching your channel, thank you.
Would someone be able to convert the 10 meter portion of this radio into an 11 meter, so as to talk with CB bands? Can this be done with this radio to your knowledge?
Thank you
I've never seen it done, no. That doesn't mean you can't do it, I just wouldn't know how.
This video is a year old I know but what did you ever do with the radio? I'm dying to try out my little HF privileges. I just don't want to spend a ton of money on something I may not use. I would be interested in buying one. So far I don't really care for the 440 band. Seems like this would be the perfect radio for me. Love your videos. Keep them coming.

I sold it. But this radio is only FM. It worked fine for what it was, though.
Ham Radio 2.0 I missed the part about FM only. That's a definite downside. I live in north Alabama and I have seen very little activity on 220. 440 is very used though. I'm starting to see a lot of radios advertising Quad band but for 144, 220, 350 and 440. I guess that band plan is good for some other country.
Yes that is used overseas. But those radios are also only FM.
So missing the 440 But is there a software mod that will get it back?
+Chappy Pitts No, missing completely. They replaced 440 with 220.
I heard that most of the radios and equipment you review are GIVEN to you for promotional reasons. That's why you promote so many brand names. Not only that but you get free t-shirts and caps and other gifts for it.
That is typically how promotions work, yes. He gets a free radio (or gets paid) from the seller, and they get a video of a ham showing off the radio, pretty good business.
You really prefer 440 over 220? Just think about which bands are threatened more by rules changes. You obviously weren't around in 1988 like I was when the FCC took away 220-222 mHz from Amateurs. The more 1-1/4 meter radios the better regardless of the changes the radio manufacturers have to make to make it possible. We amateurs as a group need to make sure that further infringements do not occur. We lost 220-222 mHz solely because UPS wanted those frequencies for comms, just look it up. Novice operators even had voice privileges in the 1980's on the 220 band. That was back in the days when a ham had to work for a license, unlike memorizing the answers for a test today. The harder you have to work for something, the more you covet it.
It has been a while since I recorded this video, so I would have to go back and look at what you are referring to - but no... I do not prefer any band over 220, actually. I would like to see many more options for 220 radios and products.
Hi, do you know how can i remove the mountain head from the radio?!
+Amir H The mountain head? Not sure what you mean, unless you are talking about the remote head on this radio. There is a release on one side of the face, I think it is the right side. Push that down and slide the face to one side. It should release that way. It might be tight when it is new, if it has never been removed before.
P25 phase 1&2?
This radio doesn't do P25
HELLO, YOU LOOK GOOD WHEN YOU SHAVE
Nothing new in this video that is not on the tech specs on their web site for the radio.
I don’t know of anyone in a repair facility that will service these radios when they fail and I have firsthand knowledge of that so if you buy one and need it repaired, you will need to send it back to China at your cost and you will pay for the repair cost as well.
Just what i asked for! K5DVT
+Jon Williams Although, i wouldn't mind having 440 even if it cost a extra $100.
+Jon Williams Agreed. I wish they would drop 10M, then have a 50/144/220/440 rig. That would be awesome
Is this DMR?
No, this radio is analog
Just got one on eBay for $80 bucks mint
Good price
On 6 meter and 10 meter who uses FM , NOBODY , SO TOTAL USELESS
Incorrect, but thanks for watching.
Thank for the video 73 kg4acg
