IP67 Dual Band Mobile Transceiver

TYT TH-8600

A compact, rugged VHF/UHF mobile transceiver delivering up to 25 W on 2 metres and 20 W on 70 centimetres, with IP67 protection, dual display and 200 memory channels.

The TYT TH-8600 is designed for installations where space is limited and ordinary mobile radios may be exposed to dust, water or demanding outdoor conditions. Measuring only 107 × 125 × 45 mm, it combines dual-band FM operation with a bright colour display, keypad microphone and straightforward PC programming in a compact metal chassis.

VHF OUTPUT
Up to 25 W
Strong output for 144–146 MHz repeater and simplex operation.
UHF OUTPUT
Up to 20 W
Plenty of power for 430–440 MHz mobile and fixed-station operation.
WEATHER PROTECTION
IP67
Well suited to off-road, agricultural, motorcycle and other exposed installations.
MEMORY
200 Channels
Store repeaters, simplex channels and frequently used frequencies.
DUAL BAND

2 metres and 70 centimetres

When programmed appropriately for UK amateur operation, the TH-8600 covers the 144–146 MHz 2 metre band and 430–440 MHz 70 centimetre band. Programmable repeater offsets, tone systems and selectable power make it suitable for both repeater and simplex use.

2 METRES
144–146 MHz Up to 25 W RF output
70 CENTIMETRES
430–440 MHz Up to 20 W RF output
SELECTABLE RF POWER

Use only the power you need

High, medium and low transmit-power settings allow the TH-8600 to be matched to the operating situation. Use higher power when additional range is required or reduce the output for nearby repeaters and local simplex contacts.

IP67 CONSTRUCTION

Made for exposed installations

The waterproof and dust-resistant enclosure makes the TH-8600 particularly attractive for 4×4 vehicles, motorcycles, agricultural equipment and other installations where a conventional mobile radio may be more vulnerable to the environment.

COMPACT CHASSIS

107 × 125 × 45 mm

Its small footprint makes installation easier where dashboard, console or desk space is at a premium, without sacrificing useful transmit power or front-panel controls.

COLOUR LCD

Dual display. Dual watch. Dual standby.

The colour display can show two frequencies or channels simultaneously, making it easy to keep an eye on a second frequency while operating on your primary channel.

EASY PROGRAMMING

Program from the microphone or your PC

Frequencies and operating settings can be entered directly using the supplied keypad microphone, while the included programming cable makes larger channel plans easier to configure from a computer.

TYT continues to provide TH-8600 CPS programming software through its official download page.

REAR

Speaker and programming connections

Rear-panel connections keep the external speaker and PC programming leads out of the way during normal operation.

SIGNALLING & CONTROL

Comprehensive analogue signalling support

The TH-8600 supports CTCSS, DCS, DTMF, 2-tone and 5-tone signalling together with programmable repeater offsets and tone-burst operation. A 1750 Hz tone burst is available for compatible repeater access.

TYT also provides DTMF-based remote stun, kill and re-activation functions for installations that require those fleet-management features.
