TYTTH-9000D 220-260MHz Mobile Transceiver

I purchased this TYT TH9000D to replace the old one. The first one died after approximately four years. I ended up selling that one on an online popular auction site for parts. There isn't much in the radio industry for the1 1/4 meter band, (220 Mhz,) mobile any longer. Sure you have those Tri-band transceivers, but only put out 25 watts on VHF and 20 on UHF. I am not in the market for a tri-band, so I purchased another TYT TH9000D. It has 60 watts output and has a decent receiver. It cost me approximately $125.00 USD. It's all most like a throw away Transceiver like the rest of the Chinese HTs, Baofeng, etc. So cheap there's no use trying to send it away to get fixed. We'll see how long this TYT TH9000D lasts. If you're interested in an inexpensive 220 Mhz Transceiver and cannot find a good name brand Transceiver in the used market, (Alinco or Bridge Comm etc,) I recommend giving the TYT TH9000D a try. 73, de W8STU

I have had this for 2 days and generally happy with it. It seems to be a good value.Pros: Good price, small size, decent display. It was very easy to program using Chirp software and the provided USB cable. Transmit audio reports were good. Cons: It gets pretty hot during transmit even at the medium power setting. The manual is poor and hard to follow. The receive audio is a bit quirky especially on weaker signals. Although the volume control feels smooth it appears to operate in steps making is hard to use smoothly.

buen equipo

Audio is non existent, even with squelch wide open any audio is nothing more than a whisper. Does not even deserve one star, returning for a refund

Nice radio, good value. Owners manual almost worthless.

Have run the Allenco 235t 220 rig. For the price this rig has more features and is a 55watt rig. With the use of the optional software and programing cable it is very easy to program and save all your imformation from this fine rig.Thank You K9XOK

it takes time to setup but once done the radio is OK!but it needs some work as the radio is a bit quirky,I had mine for about 3 1/2 weeks and the volume button started sounding scratchy!So i was sent another one as a replacement!And that one once programmed didn't even key up the local repeaters!So sending that one back and keeping the scratchy volume one!As I know that one works just fine!All in all its an OK radio once you get use to it!KE6GRP DE73

Been running the TYT 9000D 220 for several weeks. Verry happy with the radio. Took a little time to figure out programming. After understanding programming logic, radio works great!
