I’m having trouble programming my TYT TH-9000D Plus 1.25m FM radio.
I’m using their TH9000D software downloaded from Radioddity and the TYT branded programming cable.
When I try to read data from the radio it just times out. While trying the display on the radio displays “CLONE”.
I’ve tried a radio factory reset, removing and reinstalling the dongle Windows drivers, and manually changing the com port in device manager.
It looks like I can write to the radio just fine. I get a progress bar on the computer screen and the radio display steps in Hexadecimal from “CLONE00” to “CLONEFF” and then restarts.
Since it cannot read from the radio, the software thinks the allowed frequency range is 2m, so I can’t actually program it.
Keep in mind there were different versions of the software. It’s possible you have the version designed to program the 66-88MHz version of the radio. The difference is one is designed with three digit entry and the other with 2 digits. They are not the same software - so I would just download the UHF and high band VHF version.
Thank you for the reply. I have since found that I can write to the radio using either the TH9000_Plus Ver:2.0.9133.16914 or TH9000D Ver: 1.0.9 software direct from the manufacturer’s web page but cannot read from the radio. Meanwhile I can do both with CHIRP. I’m using the vendor software to change the settings CHIRP does not have and then recreating the channel list in CHIRP. Fortunately you can cut and paste the channel list between a spreadsheet and CHIRP.
CHIRP has the wrong band plan. It has both Rx and Tx from 220-240 MHz and will not allow you enter any value under 240Hz. If you write after touching those settings in CHIRP it corrupts the radio requiring a factory reaet. I used the vendor software to set the full Rx range in the specs and then set TX to the bad edges (stock is too wide).
Meanwhile I am in contact with TYT tech support about the write issuea.
This is the alternative (2 digit) version for frequencies lower than 99MHz Not sure if you have got this one low band cps for 9000
