i would love to know how the hell do you program these radio s ? chirp does not work with it

 

You do not need a computer to program them.

Chirp has us all spoiled.

 

In my day we programmed our radios with quartz crystals.

 

I have this radio. Very little nice but give not 75 watt only 25w. I connected it with my pc for configuration in few minutes I filled all memory channel.

 

sorry i thougt this one was a qyt kt 8900d. My radio is qyt kt 8900d

 

It looks like a winner with the data plug flush mounted on the front. I bought the QYT KT-7900D and had a problem programing, it was plug I was using was to fat for the hole in the back. It would talk to the radio but not put it into programing mode. I cut back 3/8'' of the m0lded plastic, it now goes all the way in and Chirp works great. If the computer does not recognize your cable roll back the driver, Google it for the right one.

"Not too long by request"
You should keep them short more often.

 

this looks like its also basically a qyt KT-UV980 plus.. i wonder if it would perform similarly

 

I USE THE PROGRAM " UV4BAND_E_CPS" . YOU CAN DOWLOAD IT FROM QYT WEB SITE IT IS FREE

 

Unless you had the squelch very loose; that has to be one of the worst squelch tails I've heard in a while.
Simplex with friends, DPL is the way to go; almost as good as reverse burst.

 

Actually i meant "A short video, on a topic by request"

 

Lol.

 

Chirp works fine for programming the Luiton, Baofeng, QYT radios. You do have to download the latest Chirp build, and use the proper programming cable.
But I've set up several of these radios, and programming is a breeze. And, they work great, no complaints.
