  1. Excellent video as always Lewis! Tried the TYT TH-9800 and while it worked OK, it had annoying firmware bugs that really let it down. If you set the radio to scan, it would stop on an active channel and emit a beep that could be heard from down the street, regardless of volume setting. Managed to turn it off in software, only to have it self enable at random. Sold the radio on before I did something nasty to it. The Yaesu FT-8900R is a much superior radio. The UV8DR handheld is OK too, but has the annoying feature of "vampire standby" which means a flat battery if left powered down with the battery in place.
