Thoughts of a Dutch radio amateur

Where did the TYT TH-9800 go?

Until now it went the way of Wouxun. Remember the time line of the KG-UV920R? Years and years went by before the rig finally materialized, specifications vaporized, price went up dramatically, and it couldn’t even impress at first.  Even KightRadio doesn’t update their info about the TYT anymore. the screen shot below dates back to 2012.

I’m still doing my best to get hold of one, but I might just decide to forget about it.  The idea of a cheap FT-8900R clone seems appealing though, that’s for sure. Let’s look at the pics and specs again.

  1. I would seriously consider one of those! Something a little more feature packed than my HTX-242 would be nice.

  2. Looks the part, but Chinese Mobiles are not proving to be as cheap as their handhelds?

  3. It’s $320 at http://www.446shop.com/views.asp?hw_id=203
    I wonder if it can be used for PSK31? Probably only packet radio.
