So I won this radio in a raffle and now trying to understand how to operate it. Obviously with your previous experience on the TH 9800 you knew how to use this one. However, I do NOT, so I was hoping to find instructions on the TH7800.... You demonstrated its capabilities but I still have to figure out the controls.....73
Thanx for the review. It's a re-packaged Yaesu FT-8800 with the MARS modification. The FT-8800 is a great all around dual band radio, with the MLS-100 external speaker it rocks. The FT-8800 is discontinued they must have sold the intellectual property to Tytera. I was looking for another FT-8800 now I am going to buy a few TH-7800's for the base and car.
I just purchased one of these, it puts out less power on high than it does on the medium high setting on uhf, I recommend the wouxun kg-uv980p it puts out more power than wouxun claims
It's been a couple of years since I have toyed with this TYT radio, but I also did a video on the Wouxun model and I liked it too. th-cam.com/video/R9tiFkp323k/w-d-xo.html
I'm taking my technician test really soon, and this looks like a great first mobile radio. Do you mind suggesting a cost friendly antenna/mount to match for a Ford F-150 crew cab? Thanks so much!
My TYT TH-7800 output power doesn't come close. Vhf Low= 6W Mid2=8W Mid1=14W High=40W. Uhf Low=5W Mid2=12W Mid1=15W High=35W. WOW not to even of a spread. Testing performed at middle of ham band with dummy load and Diamond Sx400. I'm going to send the radio back because that's not the only problem it has. When transmitting on vhf and releasing the ptt there's a delay before RX and a lower volume beep tone is then transmitted over the air. Very annoying, other hams keep telling me to turn it off however there's no way to. There's nothing in the software or radio menu pertaining to end of transmission beep tone or squelch tail tone. And last When receiving a station on uhf and your on vhf when you key the mic on vhf the uhf side shuts down for 1/2 a second with a chirp sound coming though you speaker, after the 1/2 second it returns to normal. These issue are only on vhf. NOTE: I DID NOT BUY THIS RADIO FROM GRAPEVINE AMATEUR RADIO. I just wanted to share my experience with you on this model.
+puka59 Thanks for sharing. Yea, it sounds like you got a bum radio. Sending it back is a good idea. Good luck, I hope you can get a replacement because this radio is a terrific unit when working correctly.
great radio, pity mine say's TYT TH 7800 Quad Band on the actual radio though, I can understand them getting something wrong on the manual with regards to printing, but the actual radio? Strange but it is really only dual band
yes I know, I only ordered dual band so I cannot complain, but the radio itself says TYT TH 7800 QUAD BAND, mistakes on manual fine but the actual radio seems quite careless
Hey Jason, Just Picked up one of these from Main trading Company Friday. Have hooked it up to my computer and can load a program, but once I get to the radio, it does't show me the channels I loaded. They advisded it was locked, So How do you unlock these now? Help
OK that might be another one of TYT's lock downs due to the new FCC rules. I've not experienced how to unlock an analog radio yet, but MTC should be able to tell you.
Hey Jason. I've got a 7800 that I use for crossband operation. Dont9u know why the crossband would stop crossing? It is still in crossband mode but wont cross
Hi, I have a question. I recently received a TH-7800, and my question is: Is it possible to open / close the bands in RX / TX via software with the programming cable? I appreciate an answer and your experiences with this TYT TH-7800: Greetings.
Have had this in the truck for a couple of months now. The only real gripe I have is that the menu buttons on the display unit aren't backlit. Any idea if they plan to update this on future versions?
I'm thinking about this radio myselfI already have a 9800 I've looked around but can't find an adapter from the modular jack of either model to XLR so I can use my current headphones and mic if the make them I can't find it
Hi Jason. Would you recommend the th-7800 or the th-9800? Not sure I would have much need the 6m and 10m bands in the th-9800 and the th-7800 is at a nice price point. I might tend to lean more towards the th-7800, but I wasn't sure if it is supported by Chirp yet. I know the th-9800 is. Wasn't sure if the th-9800 driver would work with the th-7800. Thanks
+Aaron Crawford I sell both. CHIRP doesn't work yet with the TH-7800, but I expect it will soon. TYT has some free software that you can download from my website.
Aside from the 6m/10m and the chirp issue, do you feel one outperforms the other or is built better with your tests? 6m and 10m isn't that big a deal for me because I have that in my HF rig.
Good info . I'm new to ham and was looking at one of these at MTC for my first radio other than my Baofeng H T . Noticed this was a few years ago , would you still recommend one of these ?
Hey there I'm desperately trying to figure out how to program the tyt th 7800. Any idea how to get it into clone mode to then be able to use chirp? Can't find anything anywhere on how to get this radio to communicate with chirp.
Anyone has the service manual or something like it? Need to replace the finals in a friends TH-7800. No power output. This is 2 in a row for him with TYT-TH-7800
Thanks for that comment I was concerning purchasing 1 of the tyt 7800 I've has 2 wouxons 920P Both went out after 14 -15 months My UV 380 HT still working Purchased it in 2019 or 2020 @ Orlando hamcation Looking for a good quality dual band crossband Rpt w/ detachable face Any suggestions
Richard Kitchen I'm not aware of a way to put these radios in clone mode. You just program them when they're in the regular menu with Chirp. Not sure on RT Systems, never used it.
Hi, Jason. I know this is an old video, but I have had one for about 6 months now and had a question on programming. I'd like to keep 2m frequencies on the left side and 440 on the right. Is there an easy way to do that? Thanks for all you do. Enjoy the podcast.
Hello, everyone I bouhgt two pieces TYT-7800, and both arts have the same problem 1. Maximum power in HIGH mode on VHF is ONLY 21W ! - not 40W like declare producer.2. Modulation of the radio (i mean TX) is very bass, and there is no treble :( and it sounds like a bucket. Can anyone know what is the function of "ADJUST MODE" ? You can turn it on, when you ress and hold the left buton V/M and holding it presses the power buton.
Adjust Mode is for firmware updates. I've only used it once. It sounds like you received a bad radio, I'd suggest returning it for another. The ones I've tested have all been reliable and sound great

+Ham Radio 2.0 Maybe You have a right, but on two pieces ? I bought the radios directly from TYT. It looks like that the quality of this production is very low. you can see this also after quality of the electronics. Perhaps I will present my radio on TH-cam, it's important to show others risk of such purchase.
+Grochale I've tested more than 10 units. I'm not saying there are no bad ones, but honestly I think that they are rare. You can't judge an entire line on 2 pieces. I've tested and sold dozens and they are solid.
Definitely a little late, but will respond so that others can have an answer if they ask the same question. Yes, you could. It would not work on the CB band of course, but if unlocked, it could communicate with FRS and GMRS radios. If you want to receive CB the TYT 8900 can when unlocked, but it will not transmit AM, only FM, so even though you would be able to hear CB, you could not talk to them. If CB is your main interest in communications, and you just want more power, there are readily available "export radios" that output illegal amounts of power on the CB band. Of course, legality is irrelevant when the boogaloo comes knocking.

Interesting...I might have to purchase this radio to check it out?
I've heard that multiple times. Hard to do thought...not impossible, just hard lol
Maybe the issue was having your test equipment on top of the radio without some kind of RF blocking between
Could be. This video is 6-years old so I have made many changes since then

Does the 7800 have APRS capability? Do any of the TYT mobile radios have APRS?

+Aaron Crawford They are almost the same radio if you aren't interested in 6M/10M.
Yes. I was just concerned about the programmability with the 7800. Don't think chirp supports that one yet.
Do you sell both?

Do you mean weather channels and frequencies into my radios? Or do you mean an actual weather station, like is connected to a RPi?

how is the scan speed? is it slow like other chinese radios? or is the scan comparable to the yaesus?

Hey buddy, do you know if the TH-7800 can show alphanumeric names on the screen?
