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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
TYT Programming Software DownloadsKeypad microphone connection
The microphone connects at the front of the radio for convenient access in mobile installations.
Speaker and programming connections
Rear-panel connections keep the external speaker and PC programming leads out of the way during normal operation.
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.
