This just made its appearance online. I mean, literally, a few minutes ago. It’s most likely in pre-release stage.
It’s an analogue dual band FM transceiver with an output power of 25W on 2m and 20W on 70cm. There is no indication on the spec sheet for the output on low power, or even if there actually *is* a low power setting.
It looks really nice, with a color display which is something the manufacturers from China have started getting us used to the last couple of years.
It certainly looks like an upgrade to the QYT KT-8900 or the KT-8900R which seem to have created a category on its own. For all we know, of course, QYT is most likely a brand of TYT.
According to the spec sheet, it does support more memory channels (200 as opposed to 128), it is waterproof (rated IP67) and it also has a remote kill/stun function. TYT also promotes it as “Dual band mini mobile radio for QUAD and Motorcycle”. This sounds really nice! I’d certainly want to get one of these for a hands-on review.
