Tyt th-9800 head separation

Tut th-9800 separation of head and comments

[@dajabi]

Thank you for posting this video. Seven years and the company still hasn't improved the manual to include this nugget of information. Almost destroyed the dang button and then decided to search on internet. Again, many thanks!

[@LifeIsTooShortForQRP]

Man... would you believe it. Here we are, 8 years later, and they STILL did not update the manual about how to remove the head from this rig. I received it today, nice radio but this head removal turned out to be a real challenge. Decided to check Google before I screw something up, and ended up with your video. Thanks for making it clear!

[@troco4238]

Dude! I spent about 20 minutes too much trying to figure this out before I decided to hit TH-cam. You came to the rescue. Thanks for the video!

[@grahamjones5885]

Yep, me too. Well, maybe not 20 minutes. Thanks for the information!!

[@danielwallace8434]

Same here!!

[@josephwestbrook651]

I really appreciate your video!! I was pulling and tugging on that front panel till I watched your video. Thank you!

[@canadarephil]

I just got one of these radios. I figured it out just as you showed it. THANKS! Also, neat how the little orange sticker inside says "Don't insert mic/speaker into the jack!" You'd think they mean don't hook the mic into that jack, but maybe they mean don't use the jack on the back! LOL

[@G0FUW]

Like others, I spent ages pushing and pulling. Never occurred to me to slide - doh! Thanks for sharing.

[@mechmotion]

Thanks for making this. I felt silly when the head slid off right after you said how to do it after trying for a while…..

[@munizda]

Thank you!! I was breaking my head trying to figure that out.

[@djennulat]

Thank you -- the head separation wasn't readily obvious from the manual!! KC1-PTF

[@janmitchell9839]

Another thank you!!!! This video saved me from chucking this thing!

[@hsat36]

Great video on the faceplate removal. Thank you!

[@oldaddyduncks]

Holding the unit upright. If you depress the head separation key... apply lateral pressure of the head to the left and it will separate. Yes!!!! They should have mentioned this in the instruction book. I spent a few minutes trying to pry them aqpart before my Eureka moment.

[@joeblan9426]

Thanks,I was just like you ,I tried to look for a way to get it to separate from the main part in the instructions and couldn't.I gave you a thumbs up,I really appreciate it!

[@Mark.Twain.Adventures]

I just wanted to say thanks for making this video. I've been fighting with this radio for the past hour trying to separate the head and alas no worky. Then I watched this video and wala! Thanks. KD5RFL

[@tomegan7927]

Thanks for tip, I could not get the front plate off. This video may it simple.

[@Quikrick22]

Thanks for the video, I was thinking mine was defective.

[@acestudioscouk-Ace-G0ACE]

I've just bought one with the problems you describe, so this was very useful, thank-you.

[@MrSka7cis]

Thanks! for posting.

[@topenda11]

Thank you i’ve had the same issue. Thanks again.

[@gibsonusa2]

I just got mine today, 6 years after this video was posted, and feel foolish that I had to watch this video to figure this out.

[@joelgouvion1970]

You are a life saver lol thank you

[@1OFGODSOWN]

I did NOT read the instructions & had the entire radio with separation cable installed in less than 30 minutes.It was very simple.It was far from difficult & surely not brain surgery.

[@RoyalKingTrucking]

thank goodness some one did video about detachable face

[@trevormangus7832]

Thank you for the information on removing the head I had my unit boxed up on his way back to Amazon but hadn’t shipped it yet when I found this video now I do not have to return it thank you so much

[@philliptoone]

I gave up trying to get it off since I didn't really want it off anyway. But I stumbled across this video today and now I know. (.. and knowing is half the battle.) Thanks. :)

[@dwilliam5]

Thanks for showing the face separation. That was driving me crazy!

[@jackchue6083]

Receive radio today and was trying to figure out how to separate the front panel. I thought I would have to send unit back. Thanks for the instructions.

[@pauldioncurtis]

Thank you for making this video, I've just purchased this quad bander and I was pulling my hair out trying to separate the main front panel. Hopefully i do not get the same problem with the audio jack. 73's

[@RTHoyt42]

Thank you thank you thank you for head separation help. Thought I was going to lose it! -KB2RUS

[@miltong64]

Thanks dude... you are the best!!! este es el mejor video de este radio jajaja

[@RolandoNispiros]

Thanks for showing how to detach the face plate. I could not take it off for the life of me. I was pulling and was getting ready to get my pocket knife in there lol.

[@garywoods8989]

Thank you

[@timtuck4343]

Thanks for the video - I just bought one of these and had the exact same experience with it including the "dropped in transit" thought when I couldn't get the front off! -de VK2XAX

[@ajcobbs]

Thanx for that. I couldn't at first take it apart myself. Appreciate the video-help.

[@kurtjohnson6464]

Just received mine today, will be adding an extension to the speaker jack and leaving it in permanently.
Brand new to the hobby, received my general on 6/13/16 (tested for both tech and gen same sitting) and looking forward to learning a bit. Added a HH-9000 antenna to mine, we'll see how it works.
Thanks for sharing

[@MrJnminco]

How did that antenna work out for you?

[@1OFGODSOWN]

I have heard that antenna is pure garbage? I am buying a Diamond CR8900 since I know they work without tuning or any issues.

[@1OFGODSOWN]

My Diamond CR-8900A did require tuning for 6 & 10 meters & I cut about half of the stinger off before getting a good tune on both bands. 2 meters & 440 mhz were great right out of the package.

[@P47Harry]

Wow! What a mystery trying to separate the head! Thanks for taking the time to show us! 73 de W3DNQ

[@dougkriedeman8208]

DUDE! THANK YOU! YES I AM YELLING. You saved me from throwing this thing in the river!

[@WWP19NeyTiri]

Thanks!

[@PaulBarwick]

Sean, thanks so much for this. It had me completely flummoxed. You saved the day. As for the xmitted audio quality you mentioned,, I have found another video where the poster suggested setting the "emphasis" to "on" on all channels, and the bandwidth selector to "middle" again on all channels. My buddies tell me that made the difference between night and day as far as audio quality goes. Thanks too for the warning about the speaker jack. forewarned is forearmed. Paul, KE7PCB

[@rw9748]

Sean you saved me and a nice radio. I was having the same issue...How to get this #@$$%^@$##*& control head off!! Checked TH-cam there here was the answer. Thanks!!!

[@wpcouture]

Hey man thanks. Saved my skin here.

[@1OFGODSOWN]

I have only had mine for 2 days & have not attempted too take it off yet but thanks for the heads up.I always use an external speaker on every base or mobile radio that I own so if the internal speaker never works I'm not getting upset. {:>)

[@jacknifedbl]

so far i have not had that issue...i have tried it a few time since i hard about tthe speaker jack..good vid on the head sliding to get it off btw...i looked at the mount for the head before i slid mine off..

[@eddieshurbutt4547]

Thanks for the video Sean. As soon as I saw the arrow in the book on your video, it occurred to me that I had to slide it off. Not tried the external speaker yet.

[@chrisestep5908]

Thank you, i was convinced my faceplate was jammed, ugg.

[@harrisonmurray6821]

[@minitubebeast]

[@ocsrc]

Are the Mounting holes or brackets or how does the front attach to the dash ?

[@ocsrc]

Is that a standard 4 pin phone cord or a 5 pin or a 6 pin or a 8 pin Ethernet cable ?

[@campingrhodys5082]

Note....Never Film Single Handed.. ;o) Buy a Mini Tripod.

[@ocsrc]

What is the difference between the 9800 and the 9800 plus ?

[@user-charlieccchong]

Thanks

[@lblittle1207]

All info is almost exactly the same as a Yaesu Ft-8800R. TYT stole the design of this radio and the 8900.

[@smithsterj]

Can you verify the keypads are illuminated on the faceplate?

[@1OFGODSOWN]

The key pads on the transceiver are NOT illuminated just the key pad on the microphone when the switch is turn to the ON position.

[@jamesh3833]

Thank you I couldn't get mine off either

[@billstoner1846]

Thank you
