It was a pleasure to receive a QYT KT8900 mini-transceiver. The programming instructions are not written for the radio operator but rather for the computer programmer. Faulty cross references exist in the instruction guide. This cute little transceiver could really be a bombshell if someone would develop a CD instead of offering a download which cannot be utilized by some operating systems.

The transceiver design and layout for the price range is quite good when one considers what is usually on $140 product is about 10 watts of output. Some TYT models have been improved with a Kenwood microphone for better dynamic audio in transmit mode. Is there a replacement microphone for the QYT KT-8900? Radios in this class are flooding the worldwide market because of the Chinese dumping efforts to secure the market place.

It appears American support teams are going to have to develop a technical support system for these bottom end market sets. Without this effort, one will pay for the unit in other ways trying to make it operational. Ned, Try this; Programing CTCSS Tone and Off Set into Memory Channel JT-6188 Change from Menu to Menu by pressing the Exit/AB button. First, clear memory channel; (example, clear channel 12 ) Set radio to VFO Mode by pressing V/M Channel number at right will disappear.

Select and press: MENU press 37 on key pad, press F rotate large knob to CH-012 and press F. Press EXIT A/B to exit. Second, enter the receive (RX) frequency into Upper VFO and transmit (TX) frequency into Lower VFO. (example, 146175 as RX and 146115 as TX.) In VFO, press EXIT/AB to select Upper display and enter RX frequency 146175 using the key pad. Then, press EXIT/AB to select Lower display and enter TX frequency 146115 using the key pad Press EXIT/AB and again select the Upper display.

Third, select desired TX encode tone (example 123.0) In VFO, and with the upper received frequency selected, Press MENU, Press 13 on keypad, then press F and rotate large knob to desired T-CTCS tone of 123.0, then press F. Press EXIT/AB to Exit and save. Forth, now to SAVE a selected repeater frequency to a Memory Channel. (example: channel 8) It is not necessary to enter a positive or negative offset for the memory channel, as you will be entering both the RX and TX frequency and saving this to a selected memory channel. Now, in VFO, with the Upper frequency selected and having entered the TX tone if required, Press MENU, press 36 on key pad and then press F.

Rotate large knob and select CH-008 and then press F. Press EXIT/AB, RX has been added. Now, using the EXIT/AB key, select the Lower frequency. Press MENU, press 36 on key pad, Press F, rotate large knob to CH-008 and then press F.

Press EXIT/AB, TX has been added. Press V/M to return to Memory Mode. Channel number will re-appear.

I bought this radio few weeks ago. Never would buy this again. Really no good modulation weak and muffy, everbody told me this. Tried this by changing the mic capsule. Seems me a general design bug. Heard this from a lot of radios of the same type. Also have problems in car use.

RF on the 12V line makes EMI trouble in car electronics. By driving is the received audio totally cracked.

Seem to be failfunction of squelch by fading. The time constant of squelch function is to short.

No good radio deal at all. I had this radio for about 2 months, used it, tested it, sold it as soon as posible.It is a nice set BUT. Receiver overloads very easy and driving thru the city there is so much interference the set is of no use at all. It is picking up rfi and the receiver just quits. Transmitter is fine, audio is not good and is not adjustable.

Before this radio I had a Leixen VV898. That radio had fair audio, but the receiver was also easy overloaded. Now I am back to my Yaesu FT7800 and feel happy about it;-) All in all, no more cheap Chinese radios for me! There is a reason they are sold this cheap.I wonder what that reason might be. 73's Richard PA5RR.

The USB to serial driver that I use that works with Windows 7 64 bit is Win7Vista64bitprolificUSBV3200.exe You have to remove all other UV3R and UV5R USB drivers then reboot windows before installing the above driver. This driver will work with the UV3R and UV5R programming software so you don't need 2 separate drivers for the 2 radios.

The UV3R and the UV5R transceivers WILL transmit on any frequency within the range (VHF and UHF) the transceivers are designed for. That mean, if, in addition to normal ham band 2 meter and 70cm repeater frequencies, you also enter a few public service (police, fire, and rescue) frequencies, both transceiver WILL transmit on those frequencies and both WILL produce RF output that WILL produce interference and you can easily get into trouble if you are NOT authorized to transmit on those public service frequencies. To prevent the transmitter's from being keyed on public service frequencies simply ensure the programming software's 'TX FREQ(MHZ)' block is left blank for those public service frequencies. This prevents the transmitter from being keyed no matter how many times you press the PTT button and for how long you press the PTT button. You do NOT have to set the CTCCS/ENC block to blank either because the CTCCS/ENC block has absolutely NOTHING to do with preventing the transmitter from being keyed. This will NOT affect the normal amateur repeater and simplex frequencies you program, it only affects the individual public service frequencies you program into the radio using the radio's programming software.

This is the method I have used to prevent the transmitter from activating on public service frequencies I monitor. 73s Mike W5RKL.
