KT-7900D 25W Mini Quad Band Base 136-174mhz (VHF), 220-270mhz (1.25M), 350-390 mhz (UHF), 400-480mhz (UHF) Quad Standby Amateur (HAM) Free Programming Cable

UPDATE April 2026: this rig works well with the tri-bander antenna, getting good audio reports on the 2M and 70cm repeaters as well. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Well, I bought this radio primarily as I was looking for a 1.25M (220Mhz) radio with more power than an HT, but after my 220 antenna got damaged recently, I decided to order one of the 7900D antennas and give it a go using all 3 bands I'm licensed for (2M, 1.25M, and 70cm). The radio is plenty loud, the hand mic is comfortable to hold and has nice travel on the PTT button, the keypad buttons are illuminated, and the screen is plenty bright and readable. I've received good audio reports on the 220 repeaters I've used it with, so have no doubt the 2M/70cm side will be the same. All in all, I feel like this little QYT radio presents a very good value for it's price and anyone on a budget should take a serious look at it. I may just order another one to use at home

I purchased this radio to use as a mobile radio for amateur radio and to listen to local Highway Patrol. The speaker is powerful and allows you to easily hear radio traffic. There is a little fan on it that engages at times and you can hear it slightly but it doesn’t disrupt anything about this radio. If you are searching for an inexpensive little radio to put in your car or side by side you won’t go wrong with this one. Be sure to purchase a 12 v DC adapter plug to keep you from having to hardwire it to your vehicle.

Thing is sweet. Just got into ham and love this mounted in my truck

This product went bad within a couple weeks. People on the receiving end could not hear me - even though it was working fine the day before. There is no Mic Gain feature - which means I am unable to adjust the gain of the microphone....like most radios have. It just has an option to turn the TXN power from HIGH or LOW. That's it. I've used other 25W mobile radios before, but none that go bad this quickly. Unfortunate.

Works great.

I have had this radio for a little over a week. I would not recommend this radio to a new user. The instructions and the QYT software both are not user friendly. They both while they give instructions on how to execute functions. All functions are acronyms no explanation of the functions. To complicate the matter the driver for the programming cable is not Win11. the Chirp software included some instructions for downloading an older driver. In the driver "downgrade" instructions there is an expiation that the latest driver is made to not support older chips due to counterfeits. The downgraded driver which worked once was replaced with the "upgraded driver" on my next reboot.

I added this to my kids' buggy that the use to ride to the bus stop in the AM. I added a timer to the accessory power so the radio stays powered up for 10 minutes after they shut the buggy down. That way if they're waiting at the stop and I need to call them for anything, they can still hear me. The speaker on this unit is unbelievably loud.

Nice little radio for 2,220 and 440. I use the 4 band for my priority freq. Very good tx audio and loud spkr for output. Easy to program on Chirp and QYT software also. Only downfall is no external speaker output on the radio. Runs a little warm but seems no impact on unit. Have many people who are happy with this little unit. Very flexible.

Funciona de maravilla, muchas funciones. Infinidad de rangos de frecuencia. Cómo cualquier radio transmisor, hay que saber calibrar la antena muy bien porque si no, te lo echas de volada, 73!
