I hope the TH-UV8200 actually has 256 memories, but again, until I see one …. For six months after the TH-UV8000D was announced, all of the boxes claimed 128*2 memories, yet they could only save 128 total memories. Many times Chinese manufacturer’s count the ability to save either 128 VHF or 128 UHF memories as 256, when they actually only save 128 unique memories. No mention (that I saw) as to battery capacity. Their other 10 watt analog radios (TH-UV8000D, 8000E, and 8000SE) all ship with a 3600 mAh battery. Many Chinese manufacturer’s market “splash resistant” as “waterproof”, so until I see one in my hands, well you probably know the rest.Īnother issue is actual battery size. You’ll note that IP67 isn’t listed on their spec sheet. One is their claimed “waterproof” status. We got our dealer announcement on the TH-UV8200 this past Saturday, but I still haven’t received positive confirmation on a number of questions that I had for TYT.
