2 years agoMini review of QYT KT-8900D
I've been looking for a small radio to use in my car that doesn't have much console space and not cluttering things up. I was a bit leary to try this radio as almost every other low-end SDR based radio I've tried does not handle high RFI very well and my city apparently has a lot of RFI. Most Baofeng or Anytone immediately go deaf when plugged into an external antenna.
Quick rundown of the features of the radio... It's about the size of a UV-5R but perhaps an inch deeper, little thicker. The hand mic is comfortable and normal sized, if a bit large.
The screen can be configured a bunch of different colors for the top line, the middle section, and the bottom line so you can be pretty creative with it. It is readable in sunlight (albient polarized sunglasses don't work with it) and you can put custom info on the startup screen and the bottom line, such as your contact info, callsign, etc.
It displays four channels or frequencies on the screen and has what they call 'Quad Standby' which is really quad watch if you're used to single receiver radios with dual watch; but this does four. It apparently scans through them when the radio is idle and seems to do a pretty decent job, but it does NOT receive on multiple frequencies at once. If you've set your main channel to A (of A/B/C/D) and a signal is received on C, it will switch the 'main' marker to C for a configurable amount of time so you could respond to it etc. After that time it does reset back to the main (A in this case) so you know where you're transmitting if you just grab the mic.
It has 200 memories, which is more than enough for most folks. It's a little wonky programming repeaters but programming simplex is same operation you'd follow on pretty much any radio with a menu system.
It is not a UV-5R or anything inside, or at least not obviously one (200 channels, very different menus) but expect to see the standard Baofeng type of menu items, including a bunch of non-ham stuff (Scramble, 2/5 tone, ANI, etc) but you can just ignore them.
I haven't seen a lot of information on this radio so I have been collecting information on programming, manual corrections, and documenting quirks and workarounds on this Google Drive share:
There is also a new but growing facebook group I found here:
Now, time for some highlights of good, bad, and ugly things about the radio. But before that, my verdict so far? It's a keeper. It's a good size for the car, audio is good so no problem hearing in the car, and no nasty RF issues that I've heard so far. There is apparently a few versions of the 8900D, some of them apparently had an issue with scanning where the radio did not stop on a busy frequency scanning. This one was stated as the scanning is fixed, so if you look for one, look for that. I got it off Amazon, but not sure if I should link it here.
The good
No RFI problems! No deafining, no obvious desense, no noise in the backgrounds, no intermod. Front end sounds as good as my Icom 281H mobile, probably better given how old (and deaf) that radio is.
Small, but usable. You can control the radio entirely (sans volume or Monitor mode) from the hand mic, so while the main body of the radio is very small and you wouldn't want to interact with it while driving, the hand mic makes it quite fine to operate.
I've so far gotten good audio reports and everything seems to be working pretty well with the radio.
You can adjust the screen colors, and so far I've had no readability issues. The screen does disappear with polarized sunglasses, however.
Audio can be very quiet or VERY LOUD and is very clear and has good tonality. So works in all environments. Often radios don't go QUIET enough and you can't turn them down enough to use them in a quiet room and of course often not loud enough for the car with windows down etc. It also has a speaker jack if you prefer an external speaker.
The bad
The cable is a pretty standard 'VHF T' on one end, cigarette lighter plug on the other, but it's pretty short (perhaps 3ft). I'll probably cut and replace this with anderson powerpoles. It's also only fused on the hot side.

There is a component just inside of one of the screw holes so if you mount the radio with a screw that's too long you might destroy the radio. The SHORT included screws are fine.
Hand Mic transmits a 'clunk' when you unkey.
Programming a repeater manually requires remembering you set up the repeater output and all settings, save the memory, then set the repeater INPUT and save again. It's weird, and I know 6 months from now I'll forget what I'm supposed to do.

The ugly
The firmware has a few bugs. I've spent quite a bit of time coming up with sane workarounds and they work for me, maybe not for you.
VFO C and D when set to a channel do not save and/or restore on power cycle and wind up reset to Channel 0. So if you have channels 1 2 3 4 in A B C D respectively and power cycle, you'll wind up with 1 2 0 0. My workaround is this: Put two non-channel 0 channels in A and B, put channel 0 in C, and put a frequency (146.520) in D.
Quad standby randomly disables itself, but if you unplug the radio while it's turned on then plug it back in, it works again.
CHIRP is very close to being usable but right now the only option is the OEM Windows software and it's pretty terrible. No copy or paste of any kind, no organization of channels of any kind (besides retyping etc), lots of cryptic settings, etc. But it does work.
