Hey guys. I have a UHF/VHF TYT MD-UV390 PLUS with the standard out of the box antenna. Could you please recommend any compatible after-market antennas that will GREATLY increase the range (eg. whip antenna etc.) Thank you! 🙏
I'm a new amateur radio operator and I recently bought a TYT MD-UV390 Plus GPS 10W handheld (as far as I can tell, it's the recording/REC version).
I'm having a strange CPS issue.
The CPS can read the radio without any problems. I modify the codeplug, then click Write, and the software reports "Write Successful".
However, when I immediately perform another Read from the radio, none of my changes are there. It's as if the write operation never actually happened. The radio remains completely unchanged, even though the CPS says the write was successful.
My radio information:
I've already tried several CPS versions:
The behavior is always the same:
Has anyone seen this before? Is this caused by incompatible firmware/CPS, write protection, a cloned firmware, or something specific to the newer MD-UV390 Plus hardware?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm Frank, KD8JKK. I've been heads-down for a few months building QSO One, an app that lets you work a bunch of digital voice networks from one place instead of juggling a separate tool for each one. I posted an early, rough version a while back and the feedback was blunt and fair. I took it to heart and kept building.
Where it's at now:
It connects to DMR (BrandMeister and TGIF), AllStarLink, EchoLink, and M17, with more networks coming. DMR does both RX and TX, and there's a short video below of it running live.
On top of the connections, it has QSO logging, callsign lookup, and audio recording. The one I'm most excited about is Net Runner, which transcribes a net as it happens and automatically catches callsigns as they come in, so you end up with a running check-in roster without typing a thing.
It's a free beta for Windows and Android at qso1.net. It's just me building this, so the most useful thing you can do is tell me what breaks or annoys you. If you try it and it falls on its face, that's exactly what I want to know.
