Are you kidding me?! I was just about to place an order for the CS25T. The Anytone AT-5888UV III has a similar problem - low output mic! Boring out the hole, and aligning it to the aperture did nothing. Previously, I had the TYT-9000D and that was absolute garbage and the mic was outright defective. Essentially, there are no other 222 MHz radios. It’s nice that you salvaged the radio, but for most, it defeats the purpose of having such a small radio, and having to outfit so much just to increase the mic output. Thanks for the honest review!!
One issue has popped up. The transceiver seems to forget the volume level it is on. When you turn it on and open the squelch the volume is at maximum when your volume knob is turned all the way down. You have to reset this has happened three times.
Are you in the wide mode the narrow mode in transmit the audio is very low the Yaesu RADIO if you are in the narrow mode you got low audio if you in the wide mode you got good FM audio in transmit but alinco should improve the audio report the problem to alinco so they improve it low audio will keep the sales down I not buy the RADIO if it has low audio in transmit the condor system in very nice please report all problem to alinco send them a Email about this problem
Alinco not as good as it was in the 80 and the ,90 I think they change the owner ship of the company and who cutting corners to build this Radio they use cheap quality parts

I had two TYT9000.BOTH had problems with receive cutting out.
Congrats on having the first review of this radio on CZcams! I have a quick question, does the label on the radio say Made in Japan? Thanks
Japan. The manual was printed in China. Honestly, really hard to say where the radio was made in my opinion.
Thanks for the great video. Is it possible to change frequencies or memory channels without using the stock mic? I don't see a VFO anywhere.
Alinco radio's are made in China

Where was this made? China or Japan? Does it have a "packet" connector on the back like the old ones did?
Japan however, the manual is printed in China. No packet connector.
