Many thanks for the video. I've had my 817 since just after they came out but it gets put aside for a while and my memory fails me. Nice clear instructions :)
@@deenunya7735 PMR 446, license free radio. Only thing is this handheld even though you can tune in and listen legally, transmitting on 446mhz is illegal as this radio isn't type approved for it.
A very useful tutorial. I used this to help me programme my UV-K6; not exactly the same but I got the idea very quickly and my radio is now successfully programmed, complete with channel names. Thankyou.
Nice video. I operate a lot of FT8 and need the ACC port on the radio to plug in a digirig. This will prevent the tuner to be plugged in ! How to get around this problem ?
Connect the tuner to the radio, and then use the ACC-port on the tuner to the digirig. The tuner has two ACC-ports, so you can connect other equipment to the tuner instead of the radio.
Excellent. Thank you. An American RU-vid chap said it couldn't be programmed from on the unit. That's a relief, if a little clunky. I will probably get the programming lead, but always prefer to do it directly. It seems a lot to remember, but I have digital music workstations. This should be a doddle. 😅
Very helpful. Did all that but When I transmit I don't know if I've opened the repeater. Our local one dosn't respond by voice. But I'm not even getting the sound of the squelch opening.
If within the UK, the BF-T3 should be 8 channels 1-8 on the PMR 446 frequencies. You just need the first 8 channels programmed into the BF-H7. But however, the BF-H7 isn't legal to use on 446MHz in the UK due to its power output and removable antenna.
@@OntheMicwithMike i am not in UK. i set BF-T3 on channel 1 and subchannel 1 for example and then i set the frequency on my BF-H7 from the table provided which is 462.5625 but there is no communication.
@@marcusbrown2881 Are you sure both radios have been programmed for the same frequencies? Sub channels are CTSS codes, so my guess is that what one radio may class as channel 1 (CTSS or sub channel) might differ from the other radio.
I have tried it with two yagi's (2M &70 CM ) and got a distant signal on saturday as there were more clear signals coming in on the HF on my FT950 but not on the RT95.. still no matter will press on. went and Bought a Colinear last night 200c Moonraker vertical I'll try that at Night as there are better signals later on in the evening here in the UK
Hi. Thank you for the video, just one issue, as soon as I press the PTT button I get "TX DISABLED", I tried all remedies I found on YT, but nothing helped. Any advice, please? Thank you. 73, M6VMO.
Just a quick thought, within Chirp (if it is where you programmed it) there can be with some radios a TX enable and disable option within the sidebar when you have downloaded info from the radio. Have a look there, as the box for TX enable might be unticked. Worth a look at least. 73'
My question is how to upload my pre programmed Bao Feng frequencies and then transfer them to a new TYT HT-7800 I received in a raffle.... I was able to upload to the Chirp but then when trying to transfer those to the TYT radio the 'radio' is greyed out showing Bao Feng and I cannot change to the TYT HT 7800.... There's gotta be a way though.....I haven't figured that out....
Yes. But you will need to transmit manually when tuning. Best is to get a new cable. It's just a 8-pin mini-DIN male in both ends, all 8 wires connected.
I have the next generation Tidradio H8. When I try to upload my frequency list I get this error message > unable to upload file. This is a radio- independant file and can not be uploaded directly to a radio. open a radio image (or download one from a radio) And then copy/paste items from this tap into that one in order to up load. HuH? what radio image? where do I get it from this H8? I am connected to the radio via a tidradio cable. the radio is selected in chirp. all looks good except for this error. Please help. Thankyou
Doesn't sound like it's compatible, it may even be the driver not communicating with the computer correctly too. Have you tried Tidradio's own programming software?
@@OntheMicwithMike I tried the odmaster and it does not give me a full spreadsheet. You have to step through each channel and type in what you want. just as slow as manual programming. I am thinking to purchase the Rtsystems software. expensive but the only alternative. Thanks for the speedy reply.
Thanks Mike, easy straight forward tutorial with an excellent Ham Operator giving back to our community ! Best Regards from all of us Lone Star State Ham Operator's. 73's
That's what it's all about. I'm no expert by any stretch but my aim is to help out where I can with what I've been taught. Many thanks for the kind comments, very much appreciated indeed. All the best 73'.
'ai un souci avec mon micro, ma touche A/B n'est plu fonctionel ni mes touches numérique ou peut ton modifier pour réactionné les Touches du Micro. je vous remerci. I have a problem with my microphone, my A/B key is no longer functional nor my number keys or can you modify it to react the Microphone keys. thank you
Hi Mike, i dont have a 891 but seriously looking at this and the Xeigu G90 (yes I know its not a 100watts) for mobile/sota/mobile use. I noticed the vid is now 4 years old, are you still using the 891 and whats your long term thoughts on this radio? Thanks and keep up the good work! (New subscriber M0KTY)
Hello, I've long since sold this radio. I wasn't a big fan of it to be honest, due to the countless menu items to do simple things. I sold it on in 2020. I wouldn't mind a G90 myself but can't bring myself to part with the X6100 to make way for one yet :) all the best and 73'
