Review on πŸ“» FONGHOO TYT TH-9800D Quad Band 50W Cross-Band Mobile Transceiver: A+B Dual Band Two Way Radio with 10M/6M/2M/70CM Bands by Eric Longoria

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great for ham radio but won't work out of range.

This radio will NOT transmit out of band unless you program it to do so. The instructions for unlocking the radio are terrible, I downloaded the radio band opening software on 3 different computers (windows vista, windows 7 and windows 10) and the software didn't install properly on any of the computers. If you need a radio that only works on the ham radio bands, this is a great deal. If you want it to have a MARS/CAP mod, buy it elsewhere and program it.

Pros
  • Handy Item
Cons
  • Attenuation
