Can this unit be programmed using the same cable as the dual band radio?

I dont know. I sent for and received the programing cable and C/D and was all excited that I might finally make some sense of this #$%*! radio only to findout the darn C/D is in chinese. Alot of good this did me. I wish I knew how to return this whole mess. Not a happy ham. JOE

The TYT TH-9800 required a special cable that contains a propriety chip. It also requires the TH-9800 software. These items are available on Amazon and many ham radio outlets. The software is available on line at the TYT website for a free download. Make sure you buy the proper cable as there are some cables that contain a bootleg chip that may not work with some newer serial computer software. To answer your question a standard serial cable, even the ones with the right plugs, will not work with this radio. I have had this radio for about 7 months now with no problems. It is easy to program with the programming cable and software, or manual programing. The TYT TH-9800 required a special cable that contains a propriety chip. It also requires the TH-9800 software.

This radio uses a standard usb to serial connection for programming, however, the connectors it uses are the standard usb A type to plug into the computer and the radio side accepts a usb mini type plug

Not sure if you can. Mine came programmed to all the marine channels. Sorry I'm not much help, I have mine on my boat.

No. The cable to connect the two is only a few inches long. The multi-changer has to be placed underneath the radio.

The software that comes with the cable is pretty simple. The problem with a program that would autopopulate the radio is you probably wouldn't be in range of the stations. You should look up frequencys

I do not recall if this radio was able to be programmed for preset stations. See ratings for this radio!

Yes it will. Programming for the 800MHz frequencies must be done through a computer using software such as ARC500.

Sure. Just connect the antenna cable to the input, scan for and program the channels, and you're good to go.

Hi Leanne, Thanks for your question. In response, Yes you can. You'll just need to point the internal antenna towards where the unit will be placed. If you have any other questions, just let us know. Have a blessed day, Mark

I have not tried, but with a long enough connector I would believe you could. There is a connector cable between the radio/single and the multi-changer.

It can be programmed with FRS and GMRS frequencies yes. It's rather difficult to program the radio by manually entering the frequencies, so I would recommend using a computer. All you need is a programming cable (like this: http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Cable-Baofeng-Walkie-Talkie/dp/B008ORT9OY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid;=1386341539&sr;=8-3&keywor;ds=uv-5r+programming+cable), and a software, I use Chirp. It's pretty easy to do, and there are many guides on the internet on how to do it.

I am sorry, I cannot answer that for the cable. The actual software for the radio was free from chirp. But I would think the cable could work, you just may need to find the driver online. I recommend you get the correct cable with driver for your radio. Sorry if I could not help you.

I have not tried that option. The directions are a bit difficult to follow but I have created a quick sheet on how to operate the radio. There are 3 of us using this radio in town and thus far it works very well. Contact me at for the quick sheet. Look for my email on QRZ. KC5KQV.Gus.

this is a plain power cable. If your unit uses an FM reciever enabled cable, this one may not work for you.

The one I purchased did come with a programming cable. However, I have had difficulties with the software drivers working with the cable. Seems that the software was designed for one cable, but that many of the radios have a generic cable with them. Sometimes the driver for the cable doesn't want to recognize the COM port. After several attempts I did get it to work but don't really know what I did different to make it work. Other than that and a lousy instruction booklet the radio works great. I've had some very good signal reports with it. Good for the money invested. I hope you are able to find a cable for it.
