My saga continues. Wanting to open up the permissions (MARS/CAP) mod on my 2023 TYT9800. Still haven't finished trying - have one more Software Set to try when a friend can make time to come over with his Windows laptop and try it for me.
In the meantime, I wrote back in and asked them if they...
So I got one of these and I'm very impressed with the performance. Has much better RX audio out the on board speaker than my 1st 5K. Power on VHF/UHF is said to be upped to 7 watts from 5 but I have no way to test that. RX AM/FM/USB from 18.0 ~1.3G as stated. AM Air Band RX is terrific.
The...
RX Only Wideband - but ready to go out of box 18mhz~ 1.3Ghz. For those who don't have the capability to reprogram themselves.

Hi guys, One of these days I'll break down and buy a PC Laptop to use for Chiner Radio Programming but not doing yet. Yeah I'm in the computer age and all but use an iMac desktop. I have a local ham friend who tries to do this stuff for me but he stays super busy with work & family and hard to...
If I can ever get my friend with a PC laptop to come over and try the other software that Radioddity sent me, I would be using my TYT 9800. Antenna is the monster 17' Diamond X510 VHF/UHF that is very broadbanded on uhf. Low SWR thru the 470's
I have a DuroMax 3,500W Honclone. Just love the thing. Must be clean power. Have run computer, TV's off of it while powering the other things. Never any issues. Large California Grade muffler runs quiet. 4 gal. tank runs all day and into the night. 7HP.
I do the gas generator thing mostly for Storm Power Outages. Switch to LED bulbs for lighting .... at 5-7-9-11 watts per bulb .... you can light up the whole neighborhood.
Kaplah! Thanks to BC Coyote for the correct tip about Tight Connections and not to use the Spring Clamp bitches. Connected to my MegaWatt 36A P.S. with tight connections and 12g wire for testing and the thing fired right up and seems to be working fine. Got the bottom cover off first to look...
I have one of those 36A Switching Power supplies around that I could attach 12g wires with secure terminals to tighten down. That should be adequate to just power the thing up and light testing right?
Also - went to open it up today and the bastard has two high quality steel Security Star screws on it. Don't have those bits. No luck drilling them out yet and have Easy-Out bit set. May have to chisel them off dammit
Yeah it came with like a 3 foot set of heavy cables with heavy clamps like come with large heavy duty jumper cables. Figured that would work to simply power it on and test. It has LED indicator lighted display.
Another funny about these inverters - Have this friend nearby who ONLY has these around for like Winter Storm power outages. I have 2 diff. portable gas generators. I was questioning him about why he went with these and said "so I don't have to mess with a owning a gas generator" - yet he has to...
