The TYT MD-2017 operates in analog and digital modes on 400-480MHz frequencies on UHF and 136-174MHz VHF at up to 5 watts of power. It uses Time-Division Multiple-Access (TDMA) digital technology to double the number of users on a single 12.5kHz channel.
The MD 2017 boasts 3000 channels, 10000 contacts, built-in CTCSS/DCS (analog mode only), single call, group call and all call, remote kill/stun/activate, transmit interrupt, VOX, and lone worker function. It is compatible with MOTOTRBO™ compatible, DMR Tier I and II compatible, is firmware upgradeable and is IP67 waterproof.
The TYT MD-2017 is also equipped with the same large color LCD display found on other models in the MD series. It also has the traditional keypad found on the other digital radios, and there are programmable side keys. However, the MD-2017 adds two additional programmable keys, marked P1 and P2.
The MD-2017 also has a trackball, and it's embedded front and center. This makes the MD-2017 very different indeed.

Excellent
It's a solid radio. It feels good to handle, and I've had good performance with local repeaters. I'm new to DMR and I like it. Programming isn't bad at all if you use an existing code plug. I used an MD380 code plug, it's great that the MD2017 can just import one and use it. Also with the recent update to CSV contacts you can load 100,000 contacts and display call signs.
Great radio for the price...
I like this radio. It sounds good, the battery lasts a decent amount of time, and the ergonomics are nice. My primary complaint is the track ball. Thank goodness you can program the keys to do the same functions as the ball.
Nice new addition to the TYT line
Works as intended
MD-2017 SMA Connector Issue
SMA CONNECTOR is very fragile. 2 weeks and it broke off in my hands. Google it. It's not just me. So I sent it in. We'll see what happens next. So far staff, shipping etc. has been just fine. He gave me an RMA over the phone and I sent it back on Saturday. And the radio worked just fine for me. NP with code plug for Ohio, memory or operation. Just that weak connector.
First of it's kind
I do like the radio after having owned it for 4 weeks. There are a few things that others have written about. I agree with all of those issues: track ball is odd, antenna design makes it difficult for a replacement antenna, VFO capability would be nice. I do not have such good reception on 2m with the stock antenna. Picked up a diamond replacement and it is much better. I did the firmware upgrade that allows for 100,000 contacts and WOW! Awesome! I like the additional info that firmware allows (smaller font with ID, name and location all visible during transmission). The quality is good, like the md380. Radio feels good in the hand and audio is good both on my end and reports from other hams. It is not a Motorola, but the TYT makes good quality ham equip. Some of the best Chinese stuff in my opinion. Time will be the test. The md380 has performed well for such a good price for quite a while now. I hope the MD2017 will be similar. Oh, it is nice having local DMR and local 2 meter in one HT. I would recommend this radio if that is your desire.
Great HT with long battery life
The TYT MD-2017 has a sensitive receiver on both bands and great sounding audio on both transmit and receive.
DMR programming experience helpful
I have had this radio a couple of weeks for emergency services - ARES. Like the MD 389/390, it is an excellent radio at a ham friendly price. I have been pleased with the CPS and firmware updates -- they work. There are some people, like myself, who are not experienced at DMR CPS programming or who make mistakes and then wonder why the radio is not working and blame the product (of course). If the radio is frustrating you, find a tech in your local ham clubs and let them help you get it running.
I would definitely buy again
Great radio can just have 1 radio now thanks alot
Poor reception
This radio has very poor antenna. I did replace the antenna with an aftermarket antenna and there was an improvement but still not sa good as I woud expect. my Baofeng radio has better reception than the MD2017.... Kool Radio but not a good reviver.
Great service good prices
Very happy with my purchase of the MD 2017. Follow up customer service was great, fast shipping.
