Episode description

This is a revamp of a video that I posted a few years ago, with a better editing job. This TYT TH-350 Triband HT is still a radio that I carry myself on a regular basis. It still works well and I still have the same model that was featured in the original video, a few years ago.

Thank you for choosing to download the Ham Radio two point zero audio podcast rip. This is the audio taken out of a video or a livestream I did recently. You can catch all my videos on YouTube Ham Radio two point zero and catch us live every Sunday night at seven pm Central Standard Time for a different topic each week. Thank you for the support and thank you for being a member of the community. Ham Radio two point Oh. Good afternoon.

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

In order to go into the menu, obviously, the menu 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.
