to tune in a repeater, there is a quicker way to get the TX freq. Select your RX freq in VFO mode. select you CtCCS tone. the set your Rpt + or - then hset the offset freq. Now save to the channel number you want. now stay in VFO and then pres the */scan button on the microphone. This will now display Reverser Rptr Freq. now save that in the channel you last saved. and you now have you channel with different freqs for the Rptr Offset. hope that makes sense.
How good is the front end of these radios? We have several fusion repeaters here working in dual mode and if you don't PL the receive, it's bad.... I have several UV5R handhelds and even with the PL on the receive, the fusion digital still breaks squelch from time to time. I was wondering if the front end was a little stronger on these than the handhelds.
hi I have a jt6188 and a mp-300 do you get a bad audio clipping when the car is moving and when you stop it clears up? also do you use the software to program the radio or do you manual program the radio. thanks and help will be appreciated 73s
My VFO stopped working on QYT kt8900. I cannot put a frequency in it starts but as soon as I put the last digit it go's back to =34.000 is there something I can do.
I followed your video exactly, and I am seeing the transmit frequency offset change now on my programmed channel 0. I can hear the repeater when it transmits but no one can hear me, and I can tell I am not tripping the repeater. I also notice I have no CTCS indicator. Menu settings for CTCS is not sticking.
No matter what I did at that point CTCS-T would not setting would not save. So I did another factory reset, started over, set CTCS-T first, then followed the video and it worked. Problem solved.
So i have watched tons of vids on this and others little 20-25 watt radio... Question though.. Is there any way to change something in programing to use as a single channel display only or single line... When set up in your mobile and dont wanna have to squint or take your eyes off the road for long just to do a simple channel change... 1 larger row of 1 channel would sure work better... Thanks.. Thomas..
i recently purchased this radio, apparently it's newest firmware allows 2.5 step. my guess is that similar to baofeng the firmware is ever evolving. my newest baofeng uv5-r doesn't clone :( my other 4 do.
The Zastone MP300 that I have purchased has a 2.5 KHz step, while on episode 5, it was shown that Juentai JT-6188 only has 5 KHz step and up. It also comes with a different microphone. Also, my MP300 is also throwing 22-23 watts on 2 meters, just like the Juentai JT-6188.
It doesn't surprise me that the same radio does different things. It just means the quality control of this product isn't great. But it still works well.
excellent excellent shit howdy......thanks for the vital info on rpt input...... i got the new juentai and put rpt'r into memory and yep no off set when keyed.... thank's for the info on how to finish putting in the rpt's info........... i dont know what the hell the Chinese engineers are thinking .....i guess they didnt pay to close attention to the american engineers..........ola
just wondering if there is any way to set the squelch so that the white noise isnt so loud you cant leave it on, i use it on narrow band in australia on the usual channels, ive tried adjusting the squelch step but it doesnt seem to change anything
Hola amigo,he adquirido este equipo al cual le tengo puesta una antena nr 770s pero la recepcion es un poco pobre es un sexto piso y puesta en la barandilla de la teraza.He visto esta direccional Ailunce AY01 Yagi y me gustaria saber si la conoce o es una buena opcion para poderla en vertical en dicha terraza.Un saludo y gracias por el video.
Just to inform ppl i just got the sainsonic gt890 and has no issues with the scanning mode at all works perfect..So they must have updated the firmware in the latest models..
Jason, or anyone who can help, I have the Juentai 6188, Zastone MP-300, Sainsonic GT-890 or whatever they badge it today, every time I hook it up to Chirp it informs me "Radio won't enter CLONE mode". The programming lead is identified by my laptop and uses ComPort 6 but I am pulling my hair out with this problem - not that I have much left. I have followed all of the Ham radio 2.0 vids relating to these models and as excellent as they are and well produced, I am having problems. Thanks guys if anyone could help.
Tried to follow the steps but it went way to fast for me to see what was going on even after going back and watching it several times. The instruction manual reads like it was written in Chinese, translated to maybe Latin, then to Klingon and finally to English. Where can I get the programing cable and software?
Perhaps you can Google "pause button" and learn how to use that feature in TH-cam ;) I would suggest Amazon for programming cable for this radio. Googling should also find you the software.
Snarky replies are absolutely no help at all. So your first line was a stupid insult and your second line was almost helpful. Thanks a lot. Perhaps you can google "how to make a polite and helpful reply to a real question." Do you honestly think that after I said I went back and watched it several times that I don't know how to pause a video and move back and forth in the presentation to see what I'm missing each time. Please. Next time, maybe you could be a little more understanding and helpful. BTW, I'd still like to know how to program my radio manually. There might just come a time when I need to be able to do that.
Chris Baker You're entire comment was an insult. If you really wanted help, you should start out by asking for it instead of throwing insults and then getting pissed when someone replies in like kind.
@@HamRadio2 4 years later CHIRP supports it! YAY! LOL Not sure why everyone has to have CHIRP support. Didn't we have to pass a test for this hobby? We should know how to program a radio manually. I digress.
hey, so this is gonna sound so stupid but a friend of mine bought four of these from ebay and whanted to use them as walkie-talkies in the cars as we go in road trips.. correct me please but isn't it as simple as choosing a frequency over 400.000 and then match it and a ctcc(?) code to my radio and the others? :) thank you
could you maybe make a video of you setting up a 4-5 mobile radios like this one to close distance communication with eacg other? or comment your email and i can contact you trough there :) thank you in advance
It's a shame radio shack stopped selling amateur radios. That's why the company is closing stores and losing so much business. They never have what you need when you go there anymore besides cellphones and batteries.
It's so much easier to program the yaesu ft 2900 2 meter 75 watt mobile. It's only 139 dollars and has automatic offset . Or even the dual band ft 60 r handheld for 159. The Japanese radios are way higher quality and easier to program for just a little more money
+Matt childfree It depends on what you want. The FT2900 is a monoband while the FT60 is an HT. So this Juentai has more features than both of them, if you want a dual band that is more than 5 watts. But to each his own....
i ordered a QYT KT-8900 about a year ago probably its just like this one and i hate it. ive had nothing but issues with it. in many different ways. i do not recommend these radios. they have a lot of fixing to them to do.
Has anyone figured out how to improve transmit audio? Mine has the typical lack of highs, too much base! Thanks in advance. 73 By-the-way, none of the software works for me!
je trouve qu'il a une très mauvaise réception se poste j'en n'est 1 aussi et je ne suis pas content du travail qu'il fait en réception très faignant des signaux
+Mika 14frs867 Eh bien, ce est une radio peu coûteux. Il en coûte seulement autour de 100 $ US. Vous ne pouvez pas attendre pour obtenir le perforemance d'une radio $ 300- $ 500 pour seulement 100 $. Pour le prix, je dis qu'il est une bonne affaire. mais oui, il va avoir des allées courtes en raison d'être un modèle bas de gamme.
I know this video is OLD! But it saved my sanity today. I got the qyt version and I couldn’t figure it out for the life of me
That was making my head spin. I bought one of QYT versions. I also got programming software for it. Hopefully its easier to program that way
+Bob Smith Oh yes, with software, it is much easier to program.

I'd say the front-end on this radio isn't much better than a Baofeng.
This radio also appears to be made for Btech as the BTECH UV-2501

+John Spencer No, not that I have seen in the test models I've used.
Una pregunta, tengo.la.misma radio pero con una amtena opek y solo escucho y no puedo transmitir , a que se debe esto??
¿En qué frecuencia estás? La radio puede estar limitada a frecuencias exclusivas de radioaficionados, o tal vez a otro servicio de radio.
Bamda radioaficionado pues, 146 al 148 en chile , por eso no entiendo por wue carajo solo se escucha y no puedo transmitir por el.ptt

+Thomas Beske Not that I have seen. Sometimes you can change it to only show 1 band, but that wouldn't increase the font size of the other band.

For FM, probably not. That is just now the noise is for FM transmissions.
no worries thanks for the quick reply! this ones getting put on the boat for emergencies and i will get a new one for the car!

Can this radio be programmed with chirp? If I can't find a good deal at the local ham fest I will probably buy 1 of these.
+James Scouten I do not think Chirp supports this radio at this time.
my zastone doent have the beep bug like the jt6188
Just to inform ppl i just got the sainsonic gt890 and has no issues with the scanning mode at all works perfect..So they must have updated the firmware in the latest models..
The interface looks very similar to the baofeng UV-5r ?
+omkar joglekar Yes. Nearly the same as any Baofeng, actually.

Yes, some of them I sell. About half, probably. Let me know what you want.

i searched HT-Y3Q7-Y8J4-HB8T
and this came up
Strange
Has any one tried changing the radios frequency range settings yet on their radio ??
Good evening! It is easy to tell me how to locks listens and transmits from 144,000 as 145.99975; Thanks 73
