Question: Can all programming be completed on the radio directly or do you need to use a computer with the interface cable for some parts of the setup?
Document: I agree with most of the reviews for this rig! It's small and easy to install and shipped with the programming cable and software. If you manually program the radio, it will take a while to figure it out if you've never worked with one like this. (It is similar to other makes.) However, I *highly* recommend plugging this thing into a computer and programming it that way. It makes the radio open up, customization-wise, and makes tedious button pushing unnecessary.
This is my second th-9000 2m radio. These are great radios for the money. I use this radio for bussiness band stuff and ham radio. I would absolutely recommend this radio. Just remember it is a Chinese radio. Also the programming cable is a must!
Radio arrived within 2 days after ordering. Seller included programming cable and a CD with the Prolific drivers and programming software, all at no extra charge. Nice bonus!Radio works great, Software easy to use. Transmit audio very good, though microphone does not "feel" professional, it works fine.
I have had this radio for about a week now.I really like this radio. I used the programming cable and software supplied by the seller to program my radio. The cable was a knock-off and thus I had to use an older driver to get it to work. But after that little hick-up I had no problems programming my radio.I currently run the radio at 25 watts and have no problems hitting repeaters in my area. My signal reports are great.
This radio came with a defective programming cable- A replacement cable was sent immediately after my claim-it is a very difficult radio to program without the cable, but once you learn--it can be a very functional radio for the money. The keypad mike is cheaply built but works well. Audio quality is good. I would not recommend this radio for a novice--
I bought this because I had previously bought the 222MHz version. This means the same control layout, same programming software and cable.It is very rugged for the price. It seems very solidly built and has generally good layout for the buttons and display.I usually don't pay much attention to being able to change the display color on a radio, but since I have this model in two different bands it is actually helpful to change the color on one.
This has been a great little radio to play with. It covers the 2m band that I was looking for, but also covers Marine VHF and MURS as well. The programming software is pretty good (windows only) and worked with the OPC-478 compatible usb programming cable that I had for my Icom radio. I have the radio paired with a TRAM 1159-WB 136-174 MHZ PRE-TUNED GAIN ANTENNA that I also bought on Amazon.
It's been a little over a year since my first review and I'm happy to report  that all three of my TH-9000 vhf radios have been running strong and have been problem free. I've made a couple of changing in the programming, but this was no problem with the TYT programming cable and software. I strongly recommend this radio for ham and public safety work. The only change I would make is adding dual channel monitoring, but I have a  Baofeng UV-5R for that.
This radio is well built, full of options, and performs better than expected. The mike is lacking in quality, but it works. This radio is in my pov, I am a lieutenant on my towns volunteer fire department, so I need this radio to work! I will be getting my Ham license this summer and will be able to use the same radio to get started.Overall a great radio for the money. It is not a Motorola, Yaseu, or Icom, but works just as well.
the radio didn't have the right data programing cable it should of been  a data programing cable (PC-50) now u cant do anything with the wrong data programing  cable u sent I am not happy cause I had a friend help me with it and found the wrong cable.. how u would u feel u cant use your new ham mobile radio and now we have to wait for the right cable to come in.
Answer: You can do it all from the radio, slow, but you can do it.
