This is a sample array of compatible accessories for the Tytera MD-380 DMR digital portable radio available
TYT MD-380 programming for Amateurs
A guide aimed at people new to DMR, showing how to program up an amateur repeater and a simplex channel on DMR.
Programming this radio is pretty similar to programming the Motorola DMR radios, except that you have to add your channels to a zone manually, rather than them being created already in a zone. I will create a video like this for the motorola DMR radios if anyone wants.
Please share this video with anyone who you think may find it useful!

[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:
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.
- Green: Received signal present
- Orange: Radio is scanning
- Red: Radio transmitting

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.

TYT MD380 Firmware 2.32 Cps1.30
Firmware 2.32 /Cps1.30 didn't solve the botom button preselection of "zone" . I programmed upper buton with scan ON/OFF : working fijne and lower one with zone selection : no action
We were having an issue and were told that it was because we used the old version of the programming software with the new firmware. Clearing the transceiver, reloading the firmware and reloading your code plug using the corresponding version of the programming software did the trick.
We programmed our units with the upper button for Power and Scan the lower for Monitor and Zone. All working fine.

MD-380 "Low" pwr. RF output too low
A friend of mine and I have found that our MD-380 HT's have in the "Low" RF output power setting ONLY 0.5 watt.
According to the manual it should be 1 watt.
Has anyone else found, using a FM signal on 440 MHz, the same?
My Firmware ver.: D002.030 CP ver.: V01.30
S/N 1505A54xxx
Could this RF output power be corrected in the firmware?

HEX Editor Codeplug CS700 converted to MD380
I have a codeplug for a CS700 that I have converted to MD380
(Since that is what I own). The issue I have is that when I load it into
the CPS, it shows that its for a VHF radio, when it is actually UHF. I
am unable to change this without clearing all the programming. I know
that with hex editor you can fix the value to make sure it displays as
UHF. Can anyone help me with this?
The following hex compare shows
the differences and locations in the files. I haven't actually tried
manipulating these values, but I'm pretty sure that CPS is reading and
writing to these locations:
E:\temp>fc /b vhf.rdt uhf.rdt
E:\temp>fc /b vhf.rdt uhf.rdt
Comparing files vhf.rdt and UHF.RDT
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.
