[...] PSR-700, just like the PRO-107, but better. At least that’s what it should be. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 [...]

Comment on TYT TH-UVF1 – Dual-band Portable. by tom343

tom343 — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 14:59:40 +0000

I am a new ham and my son bought me one of these (TYT-TH-TVF1) radios. I have been in contact by email with an ‘Emma Chen’, someone that works for TYT in China with some sort of responsibility for marketing TYT stuff in the English speaking world. I am trying to make this radio both legal and usable. The manual is atrocious. There are approximately 30 settings. Some are global, some are for the channel at hand. In order to use repeaters, one has to perform the settings many other radios designed for the ham market automatically manage (per ARRL operating manual). I speak of T/R offset, whether offset is up or down, PL, things of that nature. How you set these things only becomes clear when TYT tells you how. It seems to be impossible to verify the settings. The radio features ‘modes’; you must be in a certain mode to make a certain setting. I have read some favorable reviews of this device online. Local hams have examined the radio and advised me to get rid of it. It was a present from my son, and due to the economy, right now I must go with this radio or forego ham radio altogether for a while. Anyone here had any measure of success with this radio?

Comment on Uniden BCD396XT by bcd396xt confused

bcd396xt confused — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 06:56:24 +0000

On what planet did they write the owners manual for the bcd396xt? It is the most confusing manual I have ever read. They don’t even tell you how to turn the radio on, never the less give you a step by step guide to how to even program in one frequency. What waste of money for this door stop!!!

Comment on Quansheng TG-UV Dual-Band Portable Transceiver by hardyt

This radio is FCC-approved with limitations. It may not be sold to non-governmental users with the full band transmit that it was FCC-approved with. The eBay offer for sale violates US law and FCC regulations.
