Review on Tyt TH-9000D VHF2 Mono Band Mobile Car Radio Transceiver - 50 Watt, 200 Channel, 8 Scrambler, Black by Rick Booth

I bought this transceiver because I wanted my amateur radio to be able to work in the 220 ohm band. Already in its third year, it is being used as a base station with a home-made antenna on the ground. I have no problems with this radio. My only personal criticisms (and the reason for the one star rating) are: 1. The mic feels cheap and the audio quality is a bit confusing but very legible. I just wish it emphasized the highs a little more. And I mentioned that the mic seems cheap (although it holds up well.) 2. Like all cheap Chinese kits that come out these days, controlling the kit with the menu buttons is cumbersome and requires a Setup wants to change something to learn. Using a USB interface cable with a computer and CHIRP or TYT software is almost necessary. Aside from those two complaints, the setup does what I expected for the money I paid. I was so pleased I bought a second one to use my mobile device in my car.
