  1. TYT MD-380 DMR Digital Two Way Radio review by Mike W. on 12/12/2021
    Rating

    This is a two part report. The radio itself was wonderful and no issues with shipping. However, I did not have success with using the radio software with programming my radio. My radio technician at my PD did not have success with using the current and previous versions of the software.

    Buytwowayradios.com charged my a 20% restocking fee and then I had to pay another $11.00 to have it shipped. Poor customer service gesture which I will not be a returning customer. Not happy but I’m glad they accepted my return.

    I am new to DMR, but after programing, I was able to talk to 9 different countries the first day. I am amazed at DMR and how easy it is to communicate worldwide. The next step is to expand the coverage.

    First DMR radio. Excellent performance, easy to use. Programming is different from ham radio, but with videos and codeplug downloads it is a no brainer to experience the future of ham radio. Programming cable is a perfect free addition. Don’t delay, order yours today!

    The programming software is a little clunky with obvious english translation mistakes and severely lacking in documentation, but it gets the job done and there are plenty of videos online to assist. Other than that, fantastic radio for the price!

    I purchased this radio several months ago, when it came to down load the software it triggered a virus alert. I was told to turn off my antivirus and then download the software. Big mistake. After a dozen attempts to download, no help from the vendor, the radio sits on my shelf, unable to use it do to bad software. Save your money and buy a Motorola.

    These radios are great. I was a little skeptical of them but decided to go ahead and get one. I am very interested in the DMR system and also use the analog system regularly.

    I purchased this radio with the programming cable and software recently. I was easily able to program it with the code plug provided by my local repeater. I also edited Channels Information to add 16 local analog repeaters, then added a new zone "analog" and made them a member of it. Now I can use it for DMR and analog modes.

    We use this for SKI Patrol Business - communicating with dispatch, emergencies, first aid, etc. Our mountain went digital and those of us who owned their own analog radio's could not reprogram them. The Tytera was our answer. Pricey, but works better than the new expensive mountain radio's. They produced an echo, the Tyters does not!!!

  61. High end radio for low price review by mrmidnight on 2/2/2016
    Rating

    I purchased 2 of these radios, one to get myself out of the Baofeng loop, I had gone through 2 Baofengs in 2 months, spending what I would have on one of these Tyteras. I use this for fire dispatch and communication. Before you ask, no I would not trust this in an interior fire, and that is why the department owns their own radios. I found the programming software to be easier to work with than CHIRP, and that program is pretty darn easy. This radio gets excellent range, during a radio test I was successfully able to ping our VHF repeater from about 30 miles away. YMMV. This could be due to weather conditions and all the other fun things that can cause a radio to one day have a spectacular range, and the next not to. I am using the short rubber duck antenna that came with it, it did include a whip, but I do not have a use for that right now, in my home, which is a manufactured home, so it has all the nice things built in that would interfere with a radio, I am able to get very clear reception on our main dispatch channel, and that signal is coming from about 15 miles away. This is an excellent radio, the reason I did not choose boating as a use is because I have not tested it in a boating situation, however if kept safe and out of the water I believe that it would work well.

    Excellent value in a DMR radio. Great features at the price point. Well built but not without some minor faults. The programming is difficult if you are not familiar with professional LMR radio programming. There is a high degree of complexity and interaction between program parameters. Once you get past the learning curve, you'll like this radio

    Radio is good for amateur radio use only. The radio is made quite cheaply and yes you get what you pay for. It does decode tiers 1 and 2 well however the radio has a mind of its own. It's CPU is wonky to say the least. Very poor design with much misspelling on words in the CPU. Definitely tell even low end for a chinese made radio. Worst I personally have ever seen. Still it does what it it's suppose to do with just a lot of head-ache errors that's all.
