Put 25 Watts of dual-band amateur power anywhere in your vehicle with the BF-TECH CA QYT KT-8900 25W Dual-Band Mini Mobile Amateur Radio. Sized small enough to fit directly in the palm of your hand, the KT-8900 delivers full-sized mobile transceiver performance without the bulk, making it the premier choice for compact vehicle cockpits, center consoles, UTVs, overland rigs, and space-conscious home shack setups.
Operating across standard North American amateur allocations under ITU Region 2 (144–148 MHz 2M VHF and 430–450 MHz 70cm UHF), the KT-8900 punches out up to 25W on VHF and 20W on UHF to reach distant repeaters and tactical simplex nets that handhelds cannot manage. Distributed and backed domestically by BF-TECH CA, this mini mobile features a high-visibility multi-color display, 200 memory channels, an integrated active cooling fan, and a full-featured DTMF keypad microphone for direct frequency entry and complete remote control.
📻 Amateur Radio Licensing Notice
This mobile transceiver operates on amateur radio frequencies. An Amateur Radio Operator Certificate issued by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) (or an FCC Amateur License for US operators) is required to operate transmitting equipment on amateur frequencies. Licensed operators are responsible for ensuring station operation complies with the guidelines set out in ISED RBR-4.
🚗 Vehicle Power & Antenna Requirements
The KT-8900 operates on a standard 13.8V DC nominal power supply (includes a 12V vehicle power cable with cigarette lighter plug for quick installation). RF output connects via an industry-standard SO-239 (UHF-Female) chassis socket, which accepts standard PL-259 coax terminated 50-Ohm dual-band mobile antennas (antenna sold separately).
📦 Direct Warehouse Dispatch
All BF-TECH CA products ship direct from the BF-TECH CA distribution facility in Ontario. Orders are processed rapidly for reliable domestic carrier delivery anywhere across Canada with zero border delays or import brokerage fees.
Key Product Features

-
🎙️
Full DTMF Keypad Hand Microphone: Backlit hand microphone allows direct VFO frequency entry, DTMF autopatch dialing, channel switching, and menu configuration without reaching down to the main radio chassis.
-
📟
Quad-Watch Multi-Display LCD: Features a crisp multi-color LCD screen supporting multi-frequency standby, allowing you to monitor active channels simultaneously while tracking your primary operating frequency.
-
❄️
Active Rear Cooling Fan: Heavy-duty aluminum heatsink chassis is paired with an automatic rear-mounted brushless cooling fan to dissipate heat during sustained voice nets or high-duty transmissions.
-
💻
CHIRP & OEM CPS Programmable: Quickly organize your 200 memory channels, tone squelch (CTCSS/DCS), and repeater offsets using open-source CHIRP software or factory programming utilities via an optional USB programming cable.
