Mystery Chinese radio

[telxonmaster]

I was given this VHF HT by a fellow ham, and he doesn't know squat about it. It was given to him as well.

As you can see, no brand, no markings, other than VHF FM Transceiver. here's the label, no FCC ID, no model, nothing:

I'd like to find a charger for it, and see if it works at all.

There is a collection of links to some of the Chinese manufacturer web sites at Budget and Entry Level Transceivers - The RadioReference Wiki
You may be able to look through their product listings and find one that looks like it.

Does the radio have a typical female jack to plug in a charger, or does it require a drop-in charger? If its the first case, rigging something up should be easy enough. Interesting radio, resembles something in the Yaesu family.

I had one of those too and I believe it is a puxing too, It is a real pain to find ctcss codes because they are numbered does not show the tone itself. I looked online and did find a chart telling what numbers corresponded to the tone freq.
I sold it it was a pain to cross reference on what tones you needed by using the chart.

It does look like a Puxing 777, maybe an older one. It takes a drop in charger, unless it can charge through the ear or mic jack, and I doubt it can. Probably not worth finding a charger for it, as my friend never used it, so I have no clue if it even works.

Drop in chargers are actually pretty cheap on amazon.

I actually just popped the battery case apart, and the crappy soldered connections promptly came apart! I decided to make this a project radio, maybe couple it to an Arduino or make a node of some sort. I soldered leads onto the empty battery case, put 8 volts to it, and voila, it powered up!
