• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

MD-380 Audio Issue

I installed the new version of firmware which allows one to load a Database with the DMR users.
But I have noticed when I am on a particular reflector via my Hotspot that even though I press the press to talk button to link with the reflector the radio goes to sleep.

What I mean is that even though my hotspot is showing that people are talking on that reflector I am not hearing the conversation. Now, if I press the press to talk button again the audio comes back. Or, as this happened this morning there was a gentlemen on and when his database details was on my screen it all of a sudden turned the color gray and the audio stopped.

Is this possibly a firmware issue? To be honest I would rather have the audio working and not worry so much about the database. Not sure whether the database is overloading the radio or what. Maybe the radio I have has an issue. Not sure whether I was to do a complete reset whether that would solve the problem.

Plus, not sure how to do a complete reset back to factory standards. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Suggest you ask to move this out of the Hytera thread as MD-380 is a TYT radio.
