[chirp_users] Chinese Mobile Dual-Band Radios

I have a SainSonic GT980 which is working well. It is also in the sub-$100 price range. It appears, physically and marking-wise, to be identical to the Zastone KT8900 and Juentai JT-6188. I have started a Yahoo Group for the "Mini Radios"https://ca.groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/MiniRadios/info <https://ca.groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/MiniRadios/info> This is a public group.

Re: [chirp_users] inexpensive Dual Band Mobile radios?

Jim; I have had a VV-898 for a little over a year. Great little radio, I have a little Mirage B-34 amplifier for it. Mine developed a display problem a few months back, I can still use it, just can't see the frequency. I'm hoping I will run across another used one. I like it, I would by another one.

[chirp_users] Inexpensive Dual Band Radios
by rdhutch＠pacbell.net 26 Jan '16

I have a Leixen 898, and It seems to have a not very selective receive front end. I used it as an in-home local repeater monitor and I received some out of band land mobile radio stations, including a busy local ambulance service, while tuned to my local ham repeaters. I replaced the Leixen with the 25W KT-8900 and the problem went away. Granted I live in an RF rich environment (Southern, CA area(), but for this reason, I advocate purchasing one of the KT-8900 variants for under $100 on Amazon. it's approximately the same size, seems better built, is equally portable, and less susceptible to interference. Just my observations, 73 de Ray, AE6H

You need to supply them with that radio so they have one to work with. They cannot afford to buy each different radio. Jock A.

[chirp_users] Data changes from "Upload" to "Download"
by Rick, KE0HCN 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

Wonder why the data I upload to my radio is changed when it downloads. Specially: When I upload the tone of 100 MHz, when downloaded from the radio, the 100 MHZ is changes to 88.5 MHz. Also the Tone Mode changes from Tone to TSQL? Why is that? Radio: Baofeng F8HP CHIRP: CHIRP daily-20160110 -- Rick Dunagan KE0HCN
