Tytera shook the world of digital radio in 2015 with the introduction of the MD-380, a portable handheld capable of both DMR and analog operation at an analog radio price.
Digital radios were outrageously expensive, and were priced out of the hands of many.
Then the MD-380 came along. It changed everything. For the first time, DMR was truly available to the masses, so to speak. Amateur radio operators on a Baofeng budget could experiment within the digital realm without spending hundreds of dollars on digital equipment, and because the UHF version was Part 90 type accepted for commercial use, small businesses could afford to keep up with their competitors and migrate to digital without the exhorbitant cost. The MD-380 was a game changer, and turned Tytera into a respected brand in the DMR marketplace almost overnight.
Now they are about to do it again. Get ready for the Tytera TYT MD-9600 Digital Mobile Radio!
Yes, that's right, the long-awaited announcement is here. Tytera has introduced a new mobile two way radio capable of operation in both digital and analog modes.
According to Tytera, the MD-9600 operates on 400-480MHz frequencies at up to 45 watts (UHF model) or 136-174MHz VHF at up to 50 watts (VHF model). As a DMR radio, It uses Time Division Multiple Access(TDMA) technology and is compatible with MotoTRBO Tier I and II.
The TYT MD 9600 boasts 1000 channels and 250 zones with 16 channels for each zone. Features include Private Call, Group Call, All Call, a lone worker mode, ANI function, encryption, short text messages, CTCSS/DCS encode and decode, power save mode, low power alarm, an emergency alarm and VOX capability. The console features a color LCD display and four programmable function keys. The hand mic also has four programmable keys, in addition to the two built-in LEDs and full DTMF keypad.
The MD-9600 is also quite versatile. it's not only PC programmable, it's firmware upgradeable as well, a flexibility most other portable and mobile transceivers lack.
The expected release date is sometime in 2016. No price point has yet been set or announced, but as soon as we have pricing, the MD-9600 will be available for pre-order at Buy Two Way Radios. For more specs, download the Tytera MD-9600 product sheet.
Oh, okay, I see what you are referring to. The "Same Day Shipping" posted at the top isn't part of the article, it is a banner on the web site referring to the products currently available on the site. It says that Buy Two Way Radios will ship an item out on the same day it is ordered as long as the order is received before 6 PM that day. In other words, 6 PM is the cut-off point if you want your order to process and leave the warehouse on its way out to you on the same day you placed the order. Orders placed after 6 PM would be processed the next business day.
It isn't referring to the article and is not part of it. The TYT MD-9600 is a new product announcement and is not yet in stock. It won't even be in the warehouse to ship until sometime in May.
It clearly says same day shipping at the top of the page!
Does it have a removable head and seperation kit?
The article doesn't say anything about same day shipping. It does state that the radio is expected to be available in May and Tytera has not yet announced a price point, however as soon as they do we will update the article.
needs to have 32ch. per zone!!!!
It says same day shipping but doesn't give a price.
Here comes the Bao Bashers!
