According to the manual it should be fine in the GMRS. A little concerned you said you copied from the ht to the radio. If you just loaded the same image in chirp it may not be compatible. Any time you program with chirp you need to have an original image from the radio or one from an identical radio to start with and then modify as necessary. So if you took the image from the UV-5 and loaded it directly into the QTY that may explain your issue. Yes it is technically ham and not certified for part 95.   

Using chirp I downloaded from the QYT and then copied the channels over to that download the uploaded the QYT file to the radio.  I got the programming from a friend who has a different radio and used it to program the QYT and the ht radio.  (Did the same process on the HT, download, change, upload).  

 

I'm new to this so I made a rookie mistake it seems.  Guess I'll be buying a different radio when I can convince the wife to let me.

The KT8900D is a ham radio so by definition (and per the user-manual) it cannot transmit on GMRS (462/467Mhz)

Well crap.  Do you know if there is a way that I can change that?  Or am I going to have to buy a different radio?

Are you trying to use this radio on GMRS repeaters? I thought the QYT KT8900D only transmits on 420-450 MHz UHF.

Chirp Shows UHF low as 400 and high as 520.  

The repeater is 462.675

I'm having an issue with my QYT KT8900D not broadcasting to repeaters.  I have a handheld (Baoufang) radio that is broadcasting to the desired repeater that I have copied the channel information from to my QYT and I can not figure out why my QYT won't broadcast to the repeater.  I can receive on the mobile but not broadcast.  I'm fairly certain it isn't broadcasting on any of the repeaters I have programmed.  Any insight on what my issue might be would be greatly appreciated.
