This one. This video today is going to be an unboxing of the TYT
THH three point fifty, a new try band and log FM transceiver from Tyt.
Here on the front of the box. It's got Tryband, try display
and try stand by one hundred and twenty eight channels. That's kind of week
for a tryband radio. It's only got one hundred and twenty eight channels.
The walks on UV eight Echo had nine hundred and ninety nine channels in it.
Now the receiver on that one. You know, I did a review
on that one when it first came out, and I really liked the radio.
The eight Delta, the duel band was a fantastic radio. I still
got mine in there, but I just never could The eight Echo had a
lot of birdies in it, and after I used it for a couple of
months after I recorded the unboxing video, I just got to where, you
know, I just don't like this radio. Unboxing is pretty eventless, as
you might imagine. Got a manual programming cable. I don't remember if it
came with that or if I had to ask for that separately. Antenna desk
charger, and the radio itself, which is right here. There's a belt
clip there is there's a second antenna underneath the insert that is a whip antenna,
so it comes with two antennas. There's a belt clip down there,
and blah blah blah. It's kind of a it looks like a box.
I love the guys that comment on my videos. Oh well, I didn't
really want to watch an unboxing, so I didn't watch your video when all
I do is talk about the unboxing and I don't actually do it. Here
is the display. I have programmed some channels into it that are local repeaters.
Right there you can see the display, but that is the display.
The top, the top repeater, there is a two meter hurst repeater.
The middle repeater is the two twenty rostin repeater, and the bottom one is
the four forty five EOC Grapevine repeater. I'll get a close up here in
a minute. Go through the menus, show you guys. The menus kind
of a very basic looking menu. There's nothing there's nothing special about this at
all. Roger B. It's got a Roger B took a minute to go
through the menu. Like I said, the menu is kind of basic looking,
which I'll get a close up with that here in just a second.
KC five HWB testing. Okay, so I'm hitting the four to forty repeater,
which is just right over there. The programming by hand is kind of
weird. Again, it came with a programming cable. I do not have
the software at this point in time. You can probably downloaded from TYT eight
eight eight dot com, or at least you will be able to I looked
for it yesterday and I couldn't find it. It might be there by now,
or maybe by the time this video errors. Case five HBB test.
No, it's not hitting herst I'm too far away. So behind the battery.
It has an FCCED stamp on the battery. On the radio, I
should say, it has a serial number and the TYT Electronics logo, and
then it has a QR code to scan for verification. It is probably in
process of being type accepted, which is usually the way they do it before
the before new model comes out, so they've got it stamped like it's type
accepted. They don't actually have the FCC type acceptance number written on here,
but they've got the logo, they've got the serial number, and then they've
got the QR code which says scan for verification underneath it, so they make
it look like it's type accepted. Let's see and two twenty ban two two
or eight hundred I think is Arlington. I'm gonna put that one on there,
and we'll go into menu CAC five HWB testing one two three. Nope,
okay, so it's not hitting. There's not a close two twenty repeater
in this area, so I'm not, you know, real surprised that I'm
not hitting this from an HT inside of the hamshack here. So let me
show you guys what this screen looks like. This video is sponsored by real

takes you into the menu, and you see this as a very basic looking
menu. Everything's on a different menu. There's a small number in the top
right corner there where you can see the menu number, and that's Menu one,
Menu thirty, so it's got thirty options in the menu. Here's how
to program, and I'm just going to do how to program real quick.
So a two twenty repeater is one point six megahertz offset usually with a minus
offset in this area, and all pretty much all the repeaters around here are
one ten dot nine CTCSS tone. So we're going to go to in the
menu. We can hit the updown arrows to switch menus in here, or
I can just turn the knob on top this one right here. Difference is
your offset. So if I wanted to change that, I would hit enter,
and you see the arrow pop down there in the bottom left corner,
and then I have to type this in five if it was a five megahertz
offset, or I could do oh one six, and then to hit enter
does nothing, which it makes sense if you hit enter, that would do
it. But actually if you hit menu, you'll notice the arrow goes away
and then you change come back to it and still there s slash D is
your separation or your offset? Menu? I'm sorry, menu, hit enter
to go into it. The arrow pops down there on the bottom left.
I can go no offset minus or positive offset. So if I want to
do a plus offset on a four forty repeater or something, so I hit
menu, arrow goes away and stays on negative. So that's those are menus
twenty six and twenty seven. And then to set the actual pl tone or
see a CTCSS, we're just going to do the transmit side. This was
a little bit tricky. This is what I had to look in the menu
for. So we hit enter, the arrow pops up and I can change
this. But when it was saying off before like this right here, let's
go this one, I hit enter, I turn this and nothing happens.
I hit this and nothing happens. So what you have to do is you
have to go. You hit have to hit the VM key, and it
gives you the option of analog CTCSS digital tone or off. So analog digital
in, digital out and in and off. So what we do is turn
that off, go back here, hit enter, and then once you go,
I don't want it digital tone. I want a regular CTSS tone.
Once you get there, then you use the channel knob on the top,
and I'm using this knob up here that side of the picture. I can
use this if I want to use the updown arrow buttons and then to hit
enter, I don't hit enter, I hit menu and the arrow on the
bottom lift goes away and it's still there, saved in memory. So then
we can exit and I can key up. And of course I'm too far
away from the repeater case five HPB testing. Yeah, so let's go.
I'll show you what the hit band and it shows the arrow going in between
the three bands, and I can key this one up. That is,
of course the N five VOC machine. Here in Grapevine KC five HWB testing
with a new radio that is that. Let me give you a shot here
of the back. I'll show you what I was talking about with the FCC
symbol. There's the FCC symbol right there. That's the stamp. This is
the serial number that you can look up. And then the QR code is
right here and right there underneath the QR code you can't really see it in
the camera. It says scan for verification and it's kind of T number right
there, two way radio T number such and such. It's saying it's verified.
I maybe it is, maybe it's not. I don't know. I
have not looked it up. That is what they're claiming right now. So
I expect that as time goes by, there will be a actual FCC number
printed on those. That is the TYT Tryband Analog THH three point fifty.
So thanks for watching, guys. This is today's short video unboxing and testing
the t y T th H three point fifty. Like I said, I'm
gonna do, I'm gonna start doing follow up videos a month or two after.
What I'll probably do is take this radio and maybe the uh the BTech
amp that I have, and a couple other radios that I've reviewed, in
the past and just kind of do a follow up video to follow up all
of them at some point and just say here's my findings after using this for
you know, a little bit seventy threes and we'll see you next week.
