TYT MD-UV390 Dual Band VHF UHF DMR Radio GPS Waterproof Dustproof IP67 Walkie Talkie w/Free Cable

Great audio quality. Factory software on radio not that great. Recommend installing open gd77. Then this radio is a powerhouse.

I did not use the included software for long but it seemed easy enough to use. I flashed it with the opengd 77 firmware to get slightly more functionality and an easier to navigate menu. It has worked well talking on a pi-star repeater, very clear and no static even when 100 foot away with a building between. Your mileage may vary based on conditions. So far a very decent radio to have as a backup or to talk with digitally on repeaters and hot spots. Battery lasts a decent amount of time as well at minimal transmit power.

Just got radio today. It is not registering the cord from radio to computer. Not sure what to do.

Great radio! Works well for me so far. I had to export the codeplug from my RD-5R, modify it in Excel and the import it into the codeplug for the TYT - Not too hard. I've got good reports from others and Parrot. It's a good radio so far, but I've owned it less than a week. EDIT - Still my favorite radio after a month. Loaded 100,000 contacts on it, and it works flawlessly. I always get good reports. Two minor complaints: The audio output is a bit less than I like, but I'm nearly deaf and the plastic is a bit soft and dents a bit when dropped. It takes being dropped from four feet multiple times just fine.

I really like the programming software and also found it compatible with the DMRCodeplug editor software (makes it easy to re-arrange the order of channels and copy them from other codeplug files). The battery last a long time while listening in standby. The scan is fast and I like that it goes to the last channel with traffic when keyed from scanning. Overall fit and finish are great. It certainly feels like a solid radio that will take some abuse. I converted the radio to BNC using an adapter found here on amazon and also converted the antenna. Now both are compatible with all of my other radios. I liked it so much I purchased a second one to leave in the trunk.

To many, this radio is second only to the Anytone 878. Big space between first and second place apparently.I hadn't studied DMR (should have).I'd have learned that Contacts aren't a list of people you want to talk to. It's everything. Every person, every talkgroup, every channel needs a contact.One of the cool things with digital is you can see who's calling. If they have bad pronunciation, at least you can read their callsign.But that only works if you have them in your contacts!There are currently bit over 230,000 DMR users. As far as I know, there is only one radio that'll take them all, and it's not this one. One other I've heard of holds up to 200,000.This one has room for 10,000 contacts. So I have my state, my birth state, the state my brother lives in and my former brother-in-law's state. It's very tight, and 99% of the time, I only see the digital radio ID.So I bought an Anytone 878. Seemed like the thing to do.But this is still a very nice radio, so I use it mainly at home, and the Anytone mainly on the road and traveling.

This unit was shipped with an incorrect cable. I contacted support and got a very nice procedure to get correct drivers installed. UNFORTUNATELY for the wrong cable/radio. The support is essentially non-existent from this vendor.Do yourself a favor and purchase the same unit branded by RETEVIS as the RT3S. They have good on-line support and software/firmware downloads. OBTW I used my RT Systems USB-74 cable and it worked immediately.Also, don't forget to reset the unit before you try to program it (google how to reset TYT MD UV390 (GPS) if you have the GPS feature).73s

First the cd the comes with the radio does not work, I have tried server pc and CD's. Went the the AmazonAws web site and download the software, The drives does not work. I also tried several PC's Windows 7 and Windoes 10. Google for other drives and could not get andy of the drives to work. I email support for TYT and have not heard back. No instructions on installing the drives or how to fix the drives issue. A waste of money and time Over 3 days trying to get it to work.
