I hate to say it but YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! Buyer beware.-Earlier 0-star review posted by VA3WV on 2015-07-11This came with a Chinese manual and programming software.

Review Summary For: TYT TH-9000 220MHz Mobile. Reviews: 29, MSRP: 249.99. This came with a Chinese manual and programming software. I then had to. Manual Programming Tyt Th-9000. Eberle Pls 508 Software. Sep 16, 2006 I need to check a program in an EBERLE plc model PLS 511. My Life Organized Activation Key. Can any one suggest where to get the programming software and cable.

I then had to download a photo copy of the English instructions which are as useless as the Chinese. So now it isn't programmable it's stuck with a minus offset yet won't transit the - offset, it won't restore it's self because the instruction are wrong. IT'S JUNK and going back to China. STAY away from these radios they are a huge was of time and completely frustrating!

Alcor media card reader drivers for mac. DO not waste your time, because that's what I'm doing right now and not very happy after I spent time and money to get on 220. I've had it 2 days and spent oh 10 hours of nothing but frustration on it. Rating:2017-07-01Very Good Value!Time Owned: more than 12 months.After a lifetime working as a land mobile radio tech, I discovered the Chinese radios and their oftentimes very low cost. Succumbing to curiosity, I eventually bought a couple different brands of dual band portables (2m/220) and a TH-9000 (220). After a year of TH-9000 ownership/experience, I gave it to my son as an incentive to get licensed, and I purchased the TH-9000D, which was the current offering. Having now developed several years experience with TYT, I would rank this brand high among the Chinese manufacturers.

I programmed both versions through the keypad/front controls until recently, and the instructions are written better than many of the Chinese vendors. Some sloppy advertising attributes the 220 versions with output power of 65 watts but it's actually 50 watts and mine and others all seem to meet that spec. Medium power is 22 watts and low power is 8-9 watts.

Receiver performance is quite good. I use mine with a 9 element yagi at 22 ft.

High and with band enhancement, I've worked out to the 150-250 mile range. I've had no trouble at all with mine and I think it represents a great price point for 220 entry level.

Have seen pricing from $98-$150. Rating:2017-04-25Good radio for the priceTime Owned: more than 12 months.Have had for two years-works very well-was simple to program local repeaters.

Great audio reports. Would buy another.-Earlier 5-star review posted by W4KQB on 2014-05-30Have had now about 2 months-paid 150$ and had in my hand in 5 days. Have all good reports on audio. No glitter or anything, but, for what I needed for a mono band and not costing a bunch, works out just fine.Good audio reports and using in the mobile, all is working fine, only wish it had a detachable control head. Would recommend to others. Rating:2016-05-15There is no documentation for this radioTime Owned: 0 to 3 months.The manual is VERY poorly written (such bad grammar that I often can't even decipher what they even meant to say).

The sentences that are grammatically correct tend to contain no useful information- for instance, it says that the P1 button is 'call'. But gives no hint as to what 'call' does (if you press P1, the word 'clone' appears in the display and the device stops responding to anything else until power-cycled).

Just for an example.As another example, by default it is set for a negative offset and there is (as another reviewer pointed out) no documented way to change that- you can change the offset but not whether plus or minus, and the offset cannot be disabled. Supposedly it's possible to make the radio usable via a programming cable, but all of my computers run non-windows OSs so no help there.It does make an excellent brick, and could probably double as a hammer, but as a radio it has been a painfully bad experience. I can't even sell it (it would be unethical) as it would just cause someone else problems.Stay away from this radio. Rating:2016-01-14ReceiveTime Owned: more than 12 months.I have bought 3 of the original 9000 models and 5 of the 9000D.The 9000 original was flawless, ran cooler even on longer ragchews than the 9000D. After a few years, they are still working.The 9000D which followed up the original 9000 is REALLY an overall failure. Bad QC.The main issue is, as another poster below has pointed out, they will drop out receive for 1/2 to 2 seconds, randomly.

It is NOT a mic, squelch or other modifiable issue. It is in the firmware, software defined instructions itself or some hardware failure. I have returned the last 3 from the same supplier and have washed my hands of this model. Other problems are a noisy volume potentiometer, run so hot you can burn yourself and the 65watts output is not even close, with 35 to 40 watts being more realistic on a Bird when the radio is COLD, even less when it heats up.I have tested the Jetstream JT-222M which looks the same but uses a different wired/programmed microphone, buttons and hardware.

It is reportedly a re-badged Anytone. I will review it shortly, but it does NOT have the RX dropout, mute, fade or whatever you want to call it problem. Your experience might be different, I hope it is, but it seems like others are reporting this problem too.73N9SSU. Rating:2015-12-08Controller & IRLP SetupTime Owned: 0 to 3 months.I like the radio for what I have seen so far, it was easy to program with the software, and looks like it may be great to be used on IRLP, if I could get it setup correctly.

For some reason it doesn't want to take the dtmf tones through the computer. With the modification installation and ordering the header cable for the db9 was quite simple.I have noticed that connecting to a Arcom RC210 controller where the COS when Active requires. Rating:2015-11-18Offset issuesTime Owned: 0 to 3 months.Just about the worse radio money can buy. Bought 2 of them, 220 and 2M from Amazon and both will not hold the repeater offset. Program it with the proper offset and shut the rig off and it adds a '0' to the offset number. So on 220 instead of 1600 you get 16000 after you shut it off. Also the 2M rig had a bad mic.Anyone else have those problems?They have no service,no help,save yourself a lot of aggravation.To boot, trying to send them back to Hong Kong is a nightmare with little to no help from Amazon.PLEASE READ.PRODUCT REVIEWS TERMS & CONDITIONS-NOTES.
