Kenwood TS990 Info and Price from Dayton Hamvention
Terrific review! Liked & Subscribed!
I had similar results when testing mine on a TinySA. Outstanding price/performance. Thanks for the review!
So, if you are completely unlocked and can use both ham and GMRS channels, it won’t delete your programming when you switch between the two, correct?
If the radio is completely unlocked, you can use whatever frequency you want that it is capable of transmitting on. You can program the memories to any of those frequencies, as well.
Quick question, when you have it in the unlocked mode, will it not TX in the MURS bands?
When it's unlocked, it transmits over it's entire frequency range, which includes the MURS frequencies.
@@tuckmeat Thank you my friend!
But how does it do in a simplex range test? It would be neat to have a pair of these go against comparable Yaesus to show if the Kenwood's DStar or the Yaesu's C4FM is more robust. Or for that matter a pair of DMR radios.
This question comes down to the bandwidth used by each mode. The more narrow the bandwidth, usually the more effective range. D-Star is 6Khz wide; DMR is 6.25 kHz for each slot. I would expect D-Star and DMR effective range to be similar. Yaesu's C4FM is 12.5kHz, so that would typically result in less range.
Can I use it just for weather with out a license
@@andy4144-z3x you can use it to listen to anything without a license
Not working for me with the Gen2 version. The firmware is: HAM_230923
Compraré un radio igual a ese en México, si le hago esa modificación antes de usarlo en "de" funciona con mas potencia en am/fm, o hay q hacerle otra cosa,
Interesting, this is 'close in appearance' to a Baofeng UV-5R.
Data will be eraser. Yes or not?
Yes
I just got my radio and have read the manual and viewed many videos but I don’t know if I am transmitting. When I key the PTT button it comes up to prompt and transmit. Prompt is highlighted. Is that normal. Hate to keep bugging you.
When you say "Prompt is highlighted", what does that mean? When you press PTT, it should say something like "A BAND TX"
C'è un firmware per l'H8 che gli fa ricevere la banda aerea?
No. Airband uses AM mode, not FM and the frequencies are out of range for this radio, as well.
Could someone please explain “de”
@@markandkimmerlyhritz3168 it's short for "Deutschland"
Hi. Nice Video. I have the Retevis MB 62. Same but Europe Version. Is it possible to mod this Radio with the hi/low Mod but under "de" the official 80 Channels from Germany (1-40 FM/AM and 41-80 FM) ? I heard after cut under "de" only 40 Channels present. Thank your for your Video and sorry for my bad English. I am German User :)
The complete frequency range for each variation is posted at www.worldwidedx.com/threads/new-retevis-mb2-cb-review.268476/

I was drawn to this unit, would you recommend a similar unit for the rag chewers of the group? Lol hate to burn it out with my talking.
@@lifesparagon I am a rag chewer. I noticed a good feature, which is that when it gets too hot it protects itself by reducing the power output until it has cooled down.
@@tuckmeat yeah I saw that little self preservation technique. What antenna tuner do you recommend, I just got it all hooked up and realized I didn't get a tuner. Thanks for the reply.
@@lifesparagon You don't need a tuner; just get an antenna capable of covering the entire frequency range. On my Jeep, i use the Comet CA-2X4SR like this: amzn.to/3AbZ6eq. That one has NMO mount, but they also make one with a UHF mount.
Could you please tell me where you got the call sign letters you have on the back of your radio.
Are you asking where I got the decal or where you can get a GMRS callsign?
@@tuckmeat the decal on the back of the battery
@@doscervezas9394 I made it using a Cricut Joy. Links: amzn.to/46i3R2c and amzn.to/4bVWTRL
Thank you I will just order one off eBay
Nice job explaining the radio..best I've seen..sold me..
how do you swap between the upper and lower bands
Pres the asterisk button at the top right. It's the one labeled SCAN for long press.
@@tuckmeat thanks! So I got everything programmed but… here in Phoenix the repeaters are all about 5-10 miles away. I’m having issues with this radio hitting any of them. Then i simply turn on my other raidos, Tid, wiuxun and Quansheng, and im hitting the repeaters loud and clear, while the HA1G is has a lot of static and then very quiet. I emailed Retavis, maybe I have a lemon. I really wanna like this radio. But ugh it’s not working well
Screen too small with large bezel taking up real estate, battery not great and no band scope/waterfall.... Nah, overpriced...
Amazing, worked, just unlock it.... 😅
I have a Kenwood D75 and this app on my Android Phone, Works very Good,
If it is completely unlocked can you transmit on 220? Or is it still locked to those dual bands?
220 is not a band supported by this radio.
alinco sdr hf radio set pls imditely requard to market
Thank for making this video! As a newbie and know little about this, I have a question about the 3rd unlock option ("unlock all"). If I have a ham or a GMRS TD-H8 and "unlock all," can I program by hand/keyboard some ham and GMRS freqs. all together on channels, say 5 ham freqs. followed by 5 GMRS freqs.? I'm not sure my question even makes sense... :p
@@BillBreen if you do "Unlock All", you can program the radio to transmit on any frequency the radio covers.
@@tuckmeat THANK YOU! and I appreciate your prompt reply. :)
Thanks for the video. A great blast from the past. I was working the booth that day with Budd abd Chris. (0.55) Dayton has always been a fun show. Danny WZ1P.
Worth it and I have the other major ones to compare it to.
ty
I love mine, the people who talk sh-- about it are just sore because they are poor and can't afford one. And if you have one be prepared for people showing bitter envy to you. I sure have got people envious!! It's the best handheld rig I've ever owned by extremely far. The only tough learning curve is for the DSTAR and APRS which are highly complex to use. But other than that it's easier to use than any Yaesu I've ever had and the same for Icom. I had mine programmed with just over 100 ham memories the first night I had it in all three ham bands it has. Plus over 80 civilian aircraft frequencies which is great for a pilot like me. Also does he entire military air band from 225 to 380 mHz and I have 50 or so memories for that band. Very intuitive for regular analog usage and ever day use. Also has blistering scan speeds, which is cool. It has a built in ferrite bar antenna for broadcast MW which can also be deselected for another antenna if desired. The built in GPS receiver is just fantastic. You can have your Baofengs and other cheapies.
The display on your radio looks different than the one shown on Amazon. I like yours much better.
Retevis updated the color scheme via newer firmware after they posted their Amazon image. So even if you happen to get a model with the older firmware, you can update it to the latest.
@@tuckmeat Thanks for the info. The hard to read display was keeping me from buying one.😉
As a ham who is blind, yes, it is definitely worth the price, considering the over 750 voice guidance prompts that are part of the user interface. Compare that to yaesu (no speech) and Icom (minimal speech), not to mention the flagship models from those two manufacturers contain touchscreens. Thank you Kenwood for including us.
Does this mod allow reception in the air band?
No, it does not cover that frequency range. Also, the air band uses AM, not FM
Kenwood radios are overpriced and overrated as far as I am concerned.
If it helps, you can change the sensitivity of the VOX feature by holding down the VOX button for 3 seconds. The display shows L3 or d4.
It's a cool little radio with a unique design, but for very similar money, I would choose the Anytone AT-500M2 / Radioddity CB-500 which will give you a lot more radio for the money. 73
I find just using the NR and RF gain control on the K4D does a really good job of eliminating background noise
When in GMRS mode, will this still transmit in full 10 watts?
Yes
@@tuckmeat thanks.
Does this also work on the (2nd Gen) TD-H8 Ham/GMRS radios?
Yes
ничего не понятно
I bought 2 of these and the one I unlocked, when I press the vfo button it wont toggle between channel and freq. mode. it just beeps when i press the vfo button.
nope
In my humble opinion and with 45 years of experience as a radio amateur, no super expensive HT is worth the money when most of its life will be spent locked up in a drawer.
I have a D74, do you believe there are enough new features to make it worth the purchase?
I love the DStar terminal mode allowing use of a phone/tablet as a hotspot. The USB-C charging means I don't have to carry an extra charger around and can use a regular external phone battery to charge if needed. For me, it's worth it.
Only you can answer that question. There are very few differences between the D74 and the D75. The only other features that the D75 has that the D74 does not: 1. USB-C isn't a deal breaker for me. Sure - it's nice, but I can live without it. 2. The D75 has Dstar Terminal Mode (as stated by tuckmeat - LOL 3. APRS Digipeater support - this allows the D75 to act as a standalone APRS digipeater. This does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for the person operating the D75. But it could be VERY beneficial if you're out operating with several others with APRS-enabled radios and they need to be able to communicate across a wider region - your D75 would effectively act as a repeater for their APRS traffic. Outside of those three features - I can't find anything else worth writing home about. For me, #3 was enough of a reason to upgrade from my D74 to the D75 (which I did last weekend). I originally thought I would keep both the D74 and D75, but now that I can see how few differences there are... I'm selling my D74. Hope that helps!
It's worth it if you have the disposable cash.... I dont but i still would like one. :)
I hope you can get one eventually, you won't be disappointed.
Scrambler mode is present ?
Yes.
What's the noise in the background on Transmit? I only ask because another Review of this HT said it produced noise when held close to another piece of audio equipment but I believe with a later (or perhaps latest) FW version, that issue has been fixed.
Great video!!!! Question re the amp enable in n out’s. Will these also pass the ‘amp delay’, from the icom 7300’s relay ‘out’ connector, to the amp, as if I had a direct cable going from the 7300 to the amp?? Im assuming so, as there is only one relay connect on the 7300. Thanku soo much. Billy
Any "delay" setting that a rig has is independent of the attached peripheral because the rig controls the delay, not the peripheral. So whether the peripheral is an amp or a tuner, it will work just fine.
@@tuckmeat Thanku!!!
@@tuckmeat Another question. I hv the amp enable hooked up to my amp and all are running well! Question: With the amp on(opr), not in standby, can I re-tune the mfj-998, just to touch up the swr, or do I need to switch the amp to standby? I am thinking NO, because the amp enable id hooked up, but I may be wrong. Thanku again, Billy
@@WILLIAMPERRELLI You can leave the amp on to touch up the power. Although, it is more courteous to other operators to do it at lower power.
@@tuckmeat Correct! Just wanted to be sure it was ok for the amp. And yes! Thanku Billy
Did it stay working after this?
Still works. Use it all the time
Thanks for the video. So many people have made videos, but finding simple text instructions is near impossible. Your video is perfect, short and to the point.
