Accidentally ordered the dual band version which is the same brand & model number; however this model has a "plus" after the model number. As soon as I saw the box I assumed someone else goofed. LOL. Then looked at my order & performed an appropriate face / palm. Easy return (pending) & I immediately ordered the correct "quad band model". It arrived Sunday morning! Wasn't expecting it until late Monday! Excited like a little kid Christmas morning I opened the box. The manual was right on top so I didn't need to dig for it. Surprisingly for a Chinese radio manual it was easily understandable. The radio menu is odd but if you read the manual first it's easy to adapt to. After becoming familiar with the features & controls I reopened the box. The radio looks nice! Apparently a copy of the Yaesu FT-8900R with nearly identical specs & features. Easy hookup on my radio bench, powered up then listened to each of the four bands. Audio was clear. I ordered the programming cable & software from another vendor & it hasn't arrived yet but was easily able to program in a few repeaters manually. Power levels were spot on with the specs as were the frequencies. Audio reports were excellent. I was a bit skeptical at first as I've never used 10 meter FM before but I like it! Several repeaters available as well. Much clearer than 10m AM! Sounds like 6 meter FM. Very nice radio that is going to get plenty of use. My intent is to mount it in my Jeep which will be going to all sorts of remote wilderness areas. Manual programming isn't difficult at all so if I need to add something out in the middle of nowhere, I can. To my surprise I like it so much I plan to buy another for the house. The only "bad" thing was the "beep" feature when programming manually. That got annoying really quick but it was easy to disable until I was done. That won't be as issue when programming via computer. The display is bright & clear with good layout. The controls are well placed & all have a good feel to them. I purchased the extended warranty but doubt I'll need it. I doubt I'll need the fire extinguisher or first aid kit I keep in my Jeep either but like the extended warranty, better to have it & not need it than the other obvious option. Bottom line... great radio at a fair price. A new Tech or veteran Extra Class ham wouldn't just be happy with it, they would be impressed. I highly recommend this radio. Review: After a few months I love this radio. - I have never used the radio by Yaesu that this radio is supposed to be a clone of but I can tell you that the TYT is incredible. I use it for my base station and I have received excellent audio reports from 90 miles away (I'm using a Tram 1481 for antenna) and regularly check in on nets 20+ miles away. Programming was initially a bit of a challenge but I think that this could have been caused by a problem with Chirp. It appears to have been worked out, though, because I used Chirp again the other day to make changes and it worked just fine. This is important because the proprietary software that comes with it doesn't import repeater info from Repeaterbook or any other source so programming 100+ frequencies and offsets can be time consuming. Also, I live on 7.5 acres and absolutely love the crossband repeater function... very handy when you're not near the radio. I hope at some point that they come up with a way to save the hyper-memory settings into programming. It's kindof a pain to lose that information every time you make programming changes. I would also like to seem them set up memory banks like on my Yaesu HT. I like being able to narrow down my scanning to either just aircraft bands or sometimes certain repeaters. Right now the TYT only allows you to set "preferred" frequencies/channels so that you really only have one bank to switch to instead of 10 or more. Also, with a Technician license, the 10 meter portion of this radio is almost useless since it only transmits in FM. I am overall very happy with this radio and have recommended it several times to friends who have purchased it and said the same thing. ## Features - Features CTCSS, DCS, DTMF, 2-Tone/5-Tone, Alphanumeric Display, & more! - Transmits 10M ( 29Mhz ), 6M ( 52Mhz ), 2M ( 146Mhz ) & 70cm ( 440Mhz ) Bands, FM, 50W/40W, Receives additional frequencies too! (AM mode selectable on VHF receive frequencies for Air Band reception) - Remote Mountable Faceplate, Full Direct Entry Keypad mic, 800 channels & More!! Please use the compatible 4 bands antenna with this radio, to make sure the radio could work well. The dual bands antenna is not compatible. * Please make sure the CTCSS are all set correctly on both radios to avoid the noise during transmitting. * There is a backup fuse offered with the radio. When customer finds the radio is not turned on or no power display, please replace with the backup fuse on the radio. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00I53VUEY | | Additional Features | Long Range | | Audible Noise | 20 Decibels | | Battery Average Life | 72 Hours | | Best Sellers Rank | #461 in Portable FRS Two-Way Radios | | Brand | TYT | | Built-In Media | Radio, Remote Mountable Faceplate, Full Direct Entry Keypad Mic | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | TYT-compatible radio devices | | Connectivity Protocol | DTMF, CTCSS, DCS | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 801 Reviews | | Frequency Range | 136 174 mhz | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 11.6"D x 8"W x 4.5"H | | Item Weight | 2 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | SAIN-Import | | Mfr Part Number | TYT-TH-9800 | | Model Number | TYT-TH-9800 | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required.

That would allow you to have (at a minimum) one antenna for 2m/70cm and another antenna for 6m/10m. Frankly, that will allow much better performance vs. anyone's compromised 4 band antenna (and I've tried several of them). **Q: Is there an extended cable for the removable face plate? Thanks** A: It comes with the extension cable and removeable face kit bracket. You will need to provide your own remote speaker or Bluetooth adapter. **Q: Does this come with a separation kit or does it depend on the seller?** A: It comes with a 6p6c cable and a face plate bracket. It also has a microphone bracket. You will need a remote speaker to use the face plate remotely, unless you put the main body of the radio somewhere you can hear it. Any truck stop can provide a remote speaker for the radio. Get a Comet CF-530C duplexer to put a dual band vhf/uhf antenna on one side of the duplexer output and put a 103 inch antenna on the 29Mhz and 50 Mhz side. **Q: What would it take to run this in your home on AC current?** A: Want clean DC? Power your battery with a solar panel. Up to 18+ volts. Want it regulated? A charge controller is 10 bucks. You can regulate it by putting a 12 volt light bulb in series to the battery. My last 4 homes were panels. No AC ripple. Pure DC. Be sure to fuse both sides. Xmit at sundown on a bright couple of days and your signal will be s9. 73s ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Radio at a Great Price. *by J***P on June 25, 2017* After researching several transceivers I decided this was the best for my needs... then clicked on the wrong one!

I set it up with the matching quad band antenna and the unit worked fine for a couple weeks. It then started having issues. it would lock up to the point you had to shut the power supply off as the radio would not do anything. Then it went deaf, the Antenna was tested and it was functioning perfect, but the radio itself would not receive any signal. I did factory reset on the unit and it still was deaf. transmitted fine but could not hear anything.I was past the return window at this point so I tried to contact the manufacturer. the number they give does nothing, that being the 400 number they have on the box and manual. so I tried the web page, 8 emails sent directly from the web page and no one had responded. you can not get any support for this unit or the company that made it. 2 months now I've wasted sending emails out and not 1 reply. I would not reccomend this radio to anyone or the company that made it. I've wasted a bunch of money on this. TYT is a horrible manufacturer. Soon this will be completely out of warranty and they are doing nothing. ## Frequently Bought Together - TYT TH-9800 Quad Band 50W Cross-Band Mobile Car Ham Radio Black 5.5 x 1.58 x 8.35" - Quad Band Mobile Radio Antenna for TYT TH-9800 Plus, TH-9800D, 10m/6m/2m/70cm, 29/50/144/430MHz, 4.1ft High Gain Antenna with 16.4ft Coaxial Cable and Bracket Clip - UAYESOK Mobile Transceiver Car Charger Cable Car Radio Power Cord 12V DC Power Cigarette Lighter with LED Lights for Kenwood Icom Yaesu Mobile Radio --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/2178675-tyt-th-9800-quad-band-50w-cross-band-mobile-car](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/2178675-tyt-th-9800-quad-band-50w-cross-band-mobile-car) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
