Review on Tyt TH-9000D VHF Mono Band Mobile Transceiver: High Power, 200 Channels, 8 Group Scrambler - Ideal for Car, Truck, and Amateur Radio Enthusiasts! by Rubeen Black

Despite what everyone says about Chinese radio, this is a workhorse. I can honestly say the radio for the power output. At high power, it transmits 70 watts. I recommend turning the radio on with low power as the radio gets a bit warm. I installed a small aftermarket fan on top of the radio and it cools really well. . I want to emphasize that this is amateur radio and you need an amateur license. I easily hit repeaters 75-100 miles away. Manual programming on the radio is very easy. I read the manual for about 10 minutes and figured out the radio and program. I would definitely recommend this radio to anyone who has great reception and everyone gives me a good sound check telling me the sound is very clear. Despite the fact that the radio is very similar to the BTECH 5001, it is a different radio, inside the menu is completely different. Please ensure that if you are using this radio as a base you will need a power supply of at least 15 amps. The best antenna is Comet x50 available from Revain. And I recommend the LMR 400 flexible coaxial cable. .Upgrade. I've had the radio for 9 months and NO PROBLEMS. The power and sound are still loud and proud. .13.10.17.
