Hello.<br>
<br>
I don't have the QYT KT8900 radio with 220Mhz yet, but I'm planning
on getting one soon. This may help you a little, from my research
the QYT KT8900 radio with 220Mhz is model QYT KT8900<small><u><big>R</big></u></small>
(note the "R" on the end). Also the Zastone MP-320 appears to be the
exact same radio. These claim that they have a range of 240-260MHz,
therefore they do NOT cover the US band of 222-225MHz.<br>
<br>
I have found this, too, but haven't tried it yet:<br>
"Changing the 'PASSWORD' on these is supposed to change the range of
the associated band coverage. I have been told to 'hold F and power
on, get PASSWORD' and then you could use this to change the
'PASSWORD' which supposedly <u>actually changes the Rx/Tx range</u>."<br>
So that procedure could be used to change the "222MHz" range from
240-260 to 222-225MHz, <i><u><b>IF</b> it actually works that way!</u></i><i><u><br>
</u></i>The filters in the QYT KT8900R may not be able to cover
222 though, they may be designed to just cover 240-260.<br>
Again, I have not tried this, I just found it on the internet.<br>
<br>
I have the BTECH MINI UV-2501+220 (haven't tried it yet) and it
appears to be the same thing also, except it comes already set up
for 210-230MHz instead of 240-260. Maybe the filters are tuned a
little differently?? Maybe something else is different also??<br>
