I am now studying to get my technician license and am trying to find an inexpensive dual band mobile to use as a base station. I would like to buy a Yaesu FT-8800 but some of the Chinese radios are $100.00 or more cheaper!(I'm retired and on a fixed income)
I have been looking at several different Chinese dual band mobiles and am curious how well built and reliable they are. The TYT TH-9800 looks like an exact copy of the Yaesu FT-8800. It also covers the 10 and 6 meter band besides 2 meter and 70 centimeters! What about the Powerwerx DB-750X? I have looked on EHam for reviews and there do not seem to be enough reviews yet to make an informed decision.
