With our first batch of TYT MD-2017 radios, we had a few customers call complaining of issues programming the radio. After some back and forth, we identified the issue as being a poor solder within the radio connector on the programming cable. Customers with this issue were not able read their radios from the programming software.
TYT has confirmed the issue, and are immediately working to correct the problem. We are told that all of our future shipments will have the updated cable, so if you order a radio or a cable from this point forward you won't have to worry about this issue.
This issue affected a very small number of customers (less than 3%), so we appreciate TYT's willingness to make the fix a priority.
After connecting the TYT MD 2017 on the PC, under Windows 10, and loading the 2017 CSP program 1.22, the screen is
turned white after I opened the TYT MD2017.
I have upgraded the MD2027 with Firmware 4.05. the screen is always white.
I made an upgrade with a firmware 4.002 and a CSP 2017 V 1.21 the screen is always white.
I think the crash is certainly harware
That's why I'm returning the TYT ® 2017

Got my new radio today. Initially it powered up and there was a display. Now there is just a blank screen. Tried updating the firmware and this did not change the problem. Stll blank nothing displayed except a blank blue screen.
Any ideas?
Thanks
TYT is posting on facebook a modification of the antenna connector that involves a new part. It is unclear if TYT is recommending we do the "repair" ourselves, getting the part from you, or sending the radio to you to make the mod for those of us worried about losing the waterproofing or otherwise screwing up the radio. Can you clarify; TYT does not use the most clear English sometimes.
I bought a TYT 2017 from you and I am only going to get to it when I return home next month.
I have however been seeing reports of a weak antenna connector, have you guys had any reports from your clients as I am wondering if this is happening a lot.
