Antenna Basics Your Mobile Radio Kit does not include an Antenna. It is VERY Important to NOT transmit without a antenna or dummy load attached to the mobile radio. Doing so, will cause harm to the internal components of your radio. You will want to choose a suitable antenna for the bands you plan on transmitting and receiving on. - Page 14 Antenna Requirements Antenna SWR Rating : 1.5:1 or less (on the radio frequencies in use.) Antenna Impedance : 50 ohm (use 50 ohm rated coax and coax connectors). Antenna Grounding : Ensure the antenna is mounted with a grounding plane.

I have a "KILLED" QYT-7900D transceiver. I have the proper data cable and UV4BAND software. I have no problem connecting to the 7900D but when I try to either write or read, it proceeds ok but then it says complete it the 7900D shuts off. When I turn it back on it still says "KILLED" an prevents the radio from working....I know its working because the s-meter reads in coming signals. All the videos on internet that show how to reset this "KILLED" state are in foreign languages and I need it in English. 73 w2tsa
To reset the "KILLED" state on a QYT KT-8900D transceiver using UV4BAND software:
1. Ensure Menu 18 (OPTSIG) and Menu 19 are properly set to accept DTMF signaling.
2. Set up the Master ID station in the software with the correct PTTID.
3. The Master ID station must identify itself to the radio.
4. Once identified, the radio will be set to receive command tones.
5. Send the "Kill tone" from the Master ID station.
6. If configured correctly, the radio will be revived from the "KILLED" state upon receiving the correct tone.
All tone settings must be saved in the PC software under the 2TONE settings.

How do I un-kill kt-8900d ? That screen has a line at the bottom that says “Killed”
To un-kill a QYT KT-8900D radio that displays "Killed" on the screen:
1. Ensure Menus 18 (OPTSIG) and 19 are properly set to accept DTMF signaling.
2. Set Menu 22 (S-INFO) to the correct 2TONE signal group (1–15) that matches the pre-configured 2TONE signal saved in the PC software.
3. The Master ID station must send its PTTID (set as "Master ID" in software) to identify itself.
4. After identification, the radio will be ready to receive command tones.
5. If the correct Monitor Remote Kill tone is received, the radio will be revived from the kill state and reactivate transmit functions.
This process must be pre-configured using PC software for the radio and master station.
