Contact lists for uploading to MD380


Here is a source, supposedly updated daily, with all DMR contacts sorted by nation and state.


The foxhollow server downloads & processes the nightly full database from the DMR-MARC website.  If you know of someone that got a new ID today, the foxhollow download ZIP file will have that new ID by tomorrow morning.

I currently create the files in CS700/MD380 CSV format as well as CS750 XLSX format.  If another type of file is needed, send me a message and I'll add it to the daily dumps.

[TYT-TYTERA] MD 380 slow scan


The shield is the encryption mode identifier, another that popped up was the speaker with an 'x', that means you muted all the system tones.

The scanning issue I circumvented by restructuring to use rxgroups for all traffic on the slot I'm on, so I have an rx group list for Slot1 and Slot2 with all TGs for each, each channel has the group Slot1 or Slot2 as appropriate.  Then my scan list (which corresponds with the zone based on the channel scan group assignments I have) covers "all" but being slow doesn't matter as much as the group scan overlays it seems.

TYT MD380 radio LED blink lights

There is a single LED indicator on the top front of the radio that is used to indicate the radio’s status as follows:
  • Green: Received signal present
  • Orange: Radio is scanning
  • Red: Radio transmitting
The LED blinks orange while scanning. An orange LED does not indicate that there is activity on a channel. Solid green LED means activity on a channel.

This is not an amateur radio. Commercial radios scan more slowly than amateur radios.

It seems it see rf on the channel scanning light turns orange but does not switch to actvate channel.

If I quickly go through channels I usually find the active channel.

Now if I don't have the particular group code in radio and there is rf activity on channel orange light is lit but I'm not decoding any info. Scanning is basically seems useless at this point.
