- In this video, I will show by request the results of this Luiton LT-598UV 75 watt mobile, which is identical to the BTech UV50X2 and some others that look identical. Actual output of this unit on my meters is 80+ watts. Comes with everything you would expect like programming cable/software, backlit DTMF mic and mounting bracket. And less than the BTech model.

I believe the qyt kt-980plus is this same radio with a different name sticker and it's about $10 less than the one linked with a programing cable included.
i know on i am trying to program mine
need a little help
Before 3 Days i received my new QYT KT-980 Plus i think its the New or European Version. Its a nice TRX. Programming from PC looks great. Mic is OK.

I'm getting 77 out on 145 on my Btech uv50x2 and about 35 on 440. So really not that much difference other than some engineering tweaks. It's a hot radio on high power, but works fine. My suggestion, affix another cooling fan to the heat sink because the primary fan falls short of preventing thermal shutdown for extended qso's. Really customizable if you're into that.
Other than that they are good radios for the money. I paid 166.00. Btech support was very professional when I had issue, but immediately sent another rig and all is good.
Nice review btw.
Thank you,
Just ordered one of these. Wish the display was more like 780 but look forward to it getting here to but in the Semi.
Never buy a Bajoie 318, what I got here and uhf puked out, no customer service at all...
I have the B-Tech UV50X2 and its a great little rig, it fits nice into the little slot on the dash of my '02 Ram nicely. I love the front data port....I change my load out like some people change socks depending on what I'm doing, In the summer I load in local repeaters and the VHF marine band due to my proximity to Lake Erie, on occasion I use it for railfanning and of course load in the AAR 1-97 and some of the telemetry freques. The only downside that I've noticed is that SOMETIMES on scan mode, everything is good, but when I back out of scan, it'll receive on the last frequency scanned, so a quick reboot is needed. Otherwise they're killer radios.
This is not the same as our UV-50X2; off the bat - the UV-50X2 is FCC Part 15B Approved (you most likely were provided false information from those who requested the review).
You can see this is also found in our 60 menus (versus the generic 50).
We take a factory level product - and self engineer the software to met FCC emissions; as well as supporting and selling from the US. They may 'claim' they have what we have, to make a quick buck - they do not.
We engineer our own firmware on our radios. We set our receiver and transmitter to be tuned at US amateur bands (a side by side 220MHz test on our UV-25X4 to 'the others' will show immediately that our receiver is 220 fine-tuned - and those other radios are completely deaf and tuned for Asia (240))
Other immediate differences not found in the generics:
Dual Synchronize Display Mode (Synchronize Up to 2 Channels)
Mic Audio Gain Settings
Expanded Frequency Range (520MHz)
USA written user's guide
Auto Power Off Function
Channel Mode Editing Settings (edit tones, etc on saved channels in Memory mode)
Auto Scan, Scanning Resume, and Variable Frequency Scanning
Quad Watch Delay Time: Allows the receiver to stay on the secondary channel longer after incoming transmission - customize the delay up to 50 seconds; This avoids manually channel switching when you are engaged with simultaneous contacts on two frequencies
Randomization Privacy Mode
is the mic pin-out same as kenwood?
Yes, but to confirm insure the mic is wired such as shown in the diagram in the manual: baofengtech.com/usermanual/X-Series-User-Guide.pdf
I'm glad you chimed in.... I was wondering what the difference was between your UV50X2 as compared to the QYT KT-980PLUS... I guess at the end of the day the extra $20 for your UV50X2 really isn't a bad deal...
Most all of the UV-50X2 radios are putting out 70 watts or more on high power & around 30 to 35 watts on low power.So really no big difference.I own the UV-50X2 & it is a great little radio with a lot of great features with the 60 menu adjustments.I listened to the radio on another radio when set on the Wide & Narrow settings & it sounds great either way. {:>)
@@1OFGODSOWN NO BTECH CX502 IS RATED 50 WATTS. SO WHERE CAN I GET THIS 75 WATT CHINESE RADIO?
the baofeng uv50x2 seem to all be 75 watts despite only claiming to be 50 watts, but i have seen other people say this high power only lasts a few seconds then it drops in power fast, down to 10 watts?
Looks like a great radio, you're video is great I might just order one.
Is this radio still available? I thought the dual band Bao Feng CX 502 replaced this radio?
Not bad for the price seemed to test out ok.
The good: Higher RF output,
& a S meter wow!
The Bad : The heatsink should be on top looks like they went backwards on the look of radio
but it is done, not being able to select single band read out but that's the present design.
For a dual band china radio not bad. Twin band radios with two Vols & two squelch designs need to be standard with the ability to have vhf 200 bank and 200 bank for UHF separate groups not mixed together or ability to set it that way increased readouts be cool too, the size is desirable. Good video Review.
Also what would be a good repeater controller for this radio ? Thanks in advance for your help.
thank you eric
Sir, I see that this video is from last year. I bought a pofung bf 9500 because I'm new and only have the uhf license (WQZT655) and not able to afford high end equipment at this point in time, I'm desperately looking for someone who has done a video for the pofung bf 9500 set up and complete operation as well as make a suggestion as to what type of antenna I need to get. Would you please help me.
Thank you
Clint.
WHERE CAN YOU GET THIS LUTTON 75 WATT RADIO? WHICH 2 BANDS DOES IT RECEIVE? Cost$$$$?
I guess they don't make mobiles over 50w anymore. I can't find this radio anywhere.
I’ve found 50w is about the most for mobile radios. You could always buy an external amp
I like the case and looks on the Luiton LT-425UV than this one.
Excellent
Its also the QYT 980 plus.
my uv50X2 outputs 60 watts and has an American warranty and service !
NO 50 WATTS!
This Luiton LT-598UV is, exactly, the same as the QYT KT-980 Plus. As of this posting of my message here CHIRP still has no support for this model and the one by QYT. I wonder if selecting Luiton LT-588UV would work? Daily Chirp update was still Feb. 10, 2018 when I posted this.
Chirp has it supported now do the daily download . David Byrd KN4BHS
I get the same audio quality reports on my QYT 980plus
I don't know why they want to duplicate that design the mic plug is in the way of the knob it has a boring display which only shows the frequency. It seems like they could have done better.
Me interesa saber con que programa has programado ese equipo, que es igual al 980plus.- Yo tengo este último y no he podido realizar una buena programación. El chirp no me sirve. Les agradecería un apoyo (CA5LET)
Does the test have to be with s dummy load to be. Accurate ,?
Hello Eric: Great Video as usual! With the correct wires, would this radio be suitable for use on Digital packet?
Thanks, in advance.

hi how do we set up a duplex frequency manually?
Nice gear.
Looking at the display on the radio. Does it have a built in battery? I looks like it has a battery charge level on it.
That indicates your power supply level. It also reads in volts if you push 0 on the Mike buttons
IS there mods for this unit to expand frequency range?
Hello,
Looks like you put this out last year. Can you tell me how I would hook 2 of these radios
into a repeater controller ? Im looking to build a GMRS Repeater.
I can't get the quad standby feature to function. It only listens to the station with the arrow any ideas?
Look up Sync in the manual...hope that helps. Have a Baofeng 25x4 which is similar but cant be sure...
It's in the manual you can choose any or all to be receiving .
can you use the chrip program to program the Radio?????
Could you possibly do a video showing how to program this manually. I just acquired one, good radio, manual is worthless. Can get offsets, tones set, unable to store them into a memory ch. Thanks
Watch A video on QYT 8900programing store mem chanell last thing . It can be a Hassel till you do a few. David Byrd KN4BHS
Im in England and cant get that version, i can only see 25 watt 1 from italy :/ i searched on ebay and amazon.
Jay Mee did u look at the link in the description of this video?
Yer i see it on the .com but i mean on the .co.uk, i assume i can still buy from .com but if it comes from usa i have to pay import tax maybe or will it just be the shipping costs all included? i dont know iv never ordered from .com.
who has the user manual of this radio?
Hey Eric is this radio good for A beginner
This radio is the same as my QYT 980 PLUS. ITSAYS ON THE DISPLAY THAT ITS A 980 PLUS. MY RADIO ALSO PUTS ABOUT 80+ WATTS INTO THE WIRE. NOTICE THE BOTTOM LINE ON THE DISPLAY . DAVID BYRD. KN4BHS
Hey David I am interested in the QTY 980 Plus do you recommend it? is it ok to use low power with close by repeaters?
@@DD-gd3fr yes it works well for me on low . About the only gripe I have with the radio is it only has high and low power settings. Needs a medium setting . David Byrd KN4BHS
Hi Dave
Could you help me please . I have same looking radio but labeled QYT 980plus .

I have that radio as a QYT 980 plus my watt meetet says 82 watts on vhf. If you notice the screen says 980 plus on the bottom line. David Byrd KN4BHS
I have the QYT 980 PLUS 75 watts but over 1or 2 mile I can't receive but I can reach out 22 mile and I did something with the settings and I could pick receive a little bit but couldn't make out what he was saying can yall help me im new with this radio
Cross band repeat?
could you update this video your uhf swr 1.46 to 1 is way to high. your readings are false with this. try to get less than 1.2 to 1 im interested in buying one of these and would be interested in its power at 480mhz.
Can you program The lt-598 up with chirp program
how to increase the power of the radio to reach 80wt
What is the amp draw on the power supply? Thanks
Mine draws about 18 Amps on high power. I have a Menzo 30 amp supply $18 on Amazon it runs my HF rig plus the QYT980plus
David Byrd can you drive a 13.8 volt radio with those 12 volts converters?
Assume this is all FM only right ?
Kevin J yes
Btech Tyt QYT Luiton all the same radios some with different specs
can you power the luitom 598uv with a 12v battery??
Roger Fethkenher yes..
yes, I've used it w/105 amp/hr AGM and a 50 watt Solar Panel.
Does it have cross band repeat? Thanks brother! KB2QZK
No cross band repeat.
good n fans..
Eric where do I buy this Radio?
Link in the description.
What about on 70cm pmr
does anyone have a link to get the software for this radio?
Just sent a request. Should be on the website soon.

THIS RADIO LUTTON IS UNAVAILABLE
What option are you using to adjust the wattage higher ?
Mine came putting out over 80 WATTS on 2 meters. David Byrd KN4BHS
David Byrd this might be a stupid question but what's the setting called to adjust to 2 meters ? I'm really new and been doing as much HW.
@@backyardmoto5556 there is not a control to change bands , just enter the desired frequency such as145.520 the band change is automatic. Hang in there watch some more videos it becomes eaiser with use
This radio can recive vhf and vhf same time
I have started a FaceBook Group for people with these 980 Plus radios. Just look for 980 Plus 2m and 70cm Ham Radio.
I don’t do FB. You guys figure out how to clean up the transmitting audio quality on these?
Do you (or anyone here know of a good am/fm/uhf/swr transceiver, emergency radio type? It would be nice to communicate with relatives coast to coast. If there is one with a dynamo that would be great. Chat with relatives coast to coast.
I assume you are referring to the United States coast to coast. The short answer is no, you won't find an all-in-one, small, emergency style radio for that distance of communication. To (somewhat) reliably make the leap across country, you will need a ham radio license and a high frequency (HF) radio and decent antenna. There are great ham radios that are portable that with decent conditions could meet this function (e.g. Elecraft KX3 or Yaesu FT817 come to mind). However, these are dedicated ham radios. They dont have the other specs you mentioned. It also takes a little practice with ham radio to make those kinds of contacts. It is definitely not a simple turn on and talk situation. It is not THAT hard though can be super fun though, so I would encourage you to check it out if interested.
Amazon no longer carries this radio. Don't know of anywhere you can purchase this model.
I've been looking everywhere for it as well
It's IDENTICAL to the QYT KT-980 PLUS radio.... I've got a plethora of QYT radios on the go in everything from backhoes to snow plows and they get abused beyond belief and no failures yet after 2 years of abuse.
are you serius that radio power 75 watt
The real difference is the amount of extra cooling you will need if you transmit with 50 to 80 watts. T doubt the fan in the unit will keep it cool with heavy use.
Can you help me please
I could care less if I burn it up. I'll just buy another, and another..........
Your dummy load is bad. It should have been 1.0 to 1 swr. We know you were not transmitting in to a antenna and not ID'ing right?
w8one what should the dummy load show then? and I didn't ID because I was into a dummy load and not interfering with any frequency
Your dummy load should be a perfect 50 ohm termination that should be 1.0 to 1 or perfect match no reflected power. It is also possible that the radio is causing a reflection meaning it is not working correctly. testing multiple radio, meter, dummy load / antenna combinations will give you the answer.
Relax lol
Dude,
Horizontal polarization for SSB & CW
Vertical for FM
Whoever sold you on ANYTHING else was WRONG and doing you a disservice!
I am not even going to ask what you are talking about.. because i didnt say this, and if i did, it was an accident. If you would like me to watch my video to discover what you are talking about, then please point me to a time in the video where I said that and i will provide an answer as to what you are talking about.
