What is the MCU Version from the factory software? Also attach a debug.log file.

You have a quad band radio and should be choosing QYT KT7900D, not KT8900D.

You are correct sir. Selecting a 7900D worked perfectly. I apologize for the wasted time.
I mistakenly assumed that if it was a KT-8900D I should select KT8900D.
Since the KT7900D is such a different looking radio it didn't occur to me to try it.
Thank you again.

John,
Does your Surecom radio indeed have 4 bands?

The manual says that it is a quad band, but since I do not have antenna's for 220 or 350 I have not tested it on those so It could be the Dual Band Quad Standby model. I will test it tonight to be sure.
Looking at some various sources on the internet, I am at a loss to explain the difference between the Surecom KT-8900D and the QYT KT-7900D They look very similar, and the specs listed look identical. I was thinking of previous versions (non-D models) that look very different.
Having not looked into other options from other companies before I bought this radio, I didn't know that the QYT KT7900D was the same radio as the Surecom KT8900D especially when QYT also offers an 8900D (the Dual band, quad standby).
It appears that the mistake was completely mine, assuming that model numbers (when the same) would actually be the same between brands.

OK. I wanted to know for sure so the Supported Radio Models list can be update. Otherwise how else would you know to select KT7900? ;-)
Also you don't have to transmit to find out. Just see if you can enter a 220 MHz and 350 MHz frequency into the VFO. If they are accepted, it is a quad band radio. If they are not accepted, it is a dual band radio.

Yes, they display as 144 on line 1, 222 on line 2, 350 on line 3, and 440 on line 4. That means it is a quadband right? I did not transmit on them, but they were in fact tuned to those freq's
