MD-380 .rdt file Memory Map
[csidmr] .rdt file memory map
I have been writing the Zone Manager program and as a consequence had to re-created the memory map notes. I have now uploaded them to the yahoo.com user group [csidmr] files area.
This is far from a complete document. Only parts of the memory map have been decoded. But it should prove a starting point for anyone wanting to investigate further.
The format is valid for the original CS700 firmware and the MD380 firmware. It almost certainly is not correct for the CS700A or CS750.
I am not able to answer questions on this document. If you don't understand it then you probably shouldn't be playing about with .rdt files. There is a risk of bricking your radio if you do.
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] Unable to clear settings using CPS
This happens when the channel selector knob is set to a channel that is not programmed. Make sure you select a channel with the knob that is programmed. It will be necessary to use the CPS and program some channels if none of them are programmed.
Port Codeplug Tytera (TYT) MD-380 to CS-700
The Tytera (TYT) MD-380 software is close to the CS-700 software, except it will not read the CS-700 codeplug, and vice versa. You can hex edit it, and make it work. When the actual radio shows up, I'll let you know.
The software is NOT identical. They are close, and based on the same code, but they are not identical. The MD380 has features that the CS700 does not, so the software is different.
The scan on the MD380 is a bit slow, but the nuisance delete does work. And it scan multiple channels.
But if you're looking for scanner speed, you'll be disappointed. The receiver on the MD380 is quit good.

How to enter my DMR ID into the DM380 ?
How to enter my DMR ID into the DM-380, is it done via the software or via the Menu on the radio itself ?
The DMR ID is the second field on the software screen. The first field is where you put your callsign.

Tytera MD-380 v. CS-700
Why in the world would you recommend the CS700 over the MD380? The MD380 already offers more features than the CS700 and it's only been out for two months. CSI promised front panel programming for the CS700 in January 2014. Still not here. The MD380 does it out of the box. Nuisance delete just started working on the CS700, only 18 months after the feature was supposed to be fixed. I works now on the MD380. The MD380 has a battery eliminator available right now. CSI hasn't even contemplated offering a battery eliminator for the CS700. The MD380 uses a standard female SMA connector on the radio, so that hams can use any number of the thousands of SMA antennas available. The CS700 uses a male SMA on the radio, which is also a standard, just not for amateur radios.
TYT MD-380 Firmware upgrade process
TYT MD-380 Firmware upgrade process
Plug radio into the computer and turn it off.
The executable upgrade utility is also in the file called Upgrade.exe. Double click that, Click on open update file on second row of buttons, Choose the MD-380-D2.26.bin and click open.
Then press and hold the top two buttons of your radio and turn it on. Let go, the LED will start to blink.
Click the 3rd Button on the second row " Download Update File" and the file will start to upload .
Wait long enough at 70% it might seem to stall. Just wait
DO NOT NAVIGATE Away . When process is complete, the radio will reboot and you will done.
One thing I did notice was my radio did not "reboot". When the process was complete according to the computer screen, I turned the radio off, unplugged the cable, and turned the radio back on.
IF IT FAILS 1/2 WAY THROUGH DO NOT PANIC, JUST REDO THE STEPS ABOVE UNTIL IT SUCCEEDS.
I ended up having to do it 3 times.
