This is a new radio from one of our suppliers - the YJT UV-8F. The radio is a fairly standard, tough, well built dual band hand held, with all the usual features - CTCSS, DCS, nice clear display and full keypad programming - no computer required but has a special feature - it can be programmed by placing an unknown simplex radio next to it and pressing it's transmit button. This radio senses the frequency and CTCSS tone in use and can then store this information.

 

Very handy when you wish to quickly add an extra radio - especially one that does not have a built in display. Sometimes it is not even obvious if a radio is VHF or UHF. Very handy for outside events wher just being close to the unknown radio is enough to be able to clone it and add an extra radio.

 

Most hams are also able to recognise when a system is duplex with a repeater, and with a bit of maths the offset can be calculated and entered manually.

 

This unique feature makes this idea for emergency use or where radios need to be quickly put onto active channels.

 

Supplies are initially limited and delivery is expected soon.
