I've decided to install a mobile-oriented radio in my brand-new-to-me vehicle. There are many on the market right now, but one caught my eye in particular:
This is the QYT KT-8900 VHF/UHF radio. It claims to run at 25W but let's be honest here, it will only run about 15 or 20, maybe even 10. That's still not bad, considering that this is from - you guessed it - China. At just a little under $100, I decided to take the plunge and see how it would perform as a mobile rig.
Good morning all, I wanted to post a little cautionary message.
Last evening, I was attempting to purchase an M67741L RF power module for the TK-705 I plan to refurbish. I was notified this morning that the seller had closed the sale and took the product down off of eBay for no reason. As you may have guessed, this product would have come from outside of the US. Luckily, no money was lost, but if I had bought it immediately instead of offering a deal, I would have lost out on $20.
