Of the three units, the TYT is by far the best ergonomic design for the male larger medium sized hand…comfort, security, keypad access function. I also own a Baofeng GT-3TP, a Kenwood TH-D72, along with this TYT UV8000E. No hint over the year of any failure, operational quirks, or non-durability of components. Of course, we’re all nuts about wanting more memory channels, but for this price range it is very acceptable for my rather localized needs with just 128 channels.īuild quality of my specimen appears & feels to be top-notch. I finally gave up and ordered RTSystem’s software package #UPS-UV8000D ($50 with the required cable #USB-K4Y) and found the smooth, direct road to programming almost all of my critical local ARES channels and getting this HT into emergency capable use.
#TYT UV8000E HOW TO SCAN INSTALL#
I struggled for five (5) days just trying to install their programs to my SSD equipped Toshiba Tecra A11 laptop (Core i7 vPro, 8 GB ram, Win 7 PRO 64 bit OS). Included CD software and website offered download duplicates are abysmal. If you buy this unit to have fun solving puzzles (see next paragraph), then ‘have at it’…wear it out! Like all other moderately lower priced Chinese electronics products, documentation truly sucks.
#TYT UV8000E HOW TO SCAN MANUAL#
Now, to my general usage experience review of the TYT UV8000E Amateur Handheld Transceiver:Ī poorly written (translated?) User’s Manual a truly wasteful use of quality finished paper. I use all of my VHF & UHF communications equipment almost strictly centered on these activities and as an alternate means of necessary communication when the more common means are not immediately available. I am a licensed ham, Amateur Extra…not an electronics bench technician or software analyst. I’ve had this product for just over a year now, employing it regularly in Sky Warn and ARES activities and through 2 hurricanes here in central Florida (Matthew & Irma).
“The distributer (, through Amazon) has provided me with this product free of charge or discounted price for review and feedback based on my first-hand usage of the product.” Great unit, lousy docs & software installer program!
