Tytera TYT MD 9600 AS DMR SCANNER

[PorscheEMB]

I am trying to set up my MD 9600 as a DMR Scanner. My SDS 200 works perfect, but the TYT does not receive the audio. The TYT shows that it is receiving the audio and shows the UID talk group etc. Is this a RAS problem? Is there anyway to turn the RAS off in the TYT radio so it can act like the SDS 200 DMR Scanner?

Setting up a 2way radio with DMR is a lot harder than setting up a scanner.

I know this, they are all simplex, and I have confirmed multiple times everything is correct. I'm guessing it maybe a RAS issue?

You need to have the Slot, Color Code and contact talkgroup correct to receive the audio.

RAS is not in the TYT radios, as a Motorola thing to limit radios accessing the system.

 

[PorscheEMB]

@hill Yes, I have all of this correct. I'm wondering if the business radios I am trying to listen to have their RAS enabled? No known way to disable RAS in the TYT, or enable it to ignore RAS, right?

 

[hill]

RAS should only effect transmiting on the system and not receive.

Well, I just figured it out. If I put a different TX frequency in than RX it thinks it is a repeater and now the audio works.

Again this is a simplex frequency, anyway to avoid this, or do I need to put in a different TX frequency every time?

RAS is a Trunking and a controller making sure a radio belongs on the system never heard of RAS Simplex

No. It absolutely affects receive, on pretty much anything other than scanners, and some radios that ignore the extra data.

RAS can be used on standard repeaters too, not just trunked systems. No, it cannot be used on simplex.

That doesn't really make sense, honestly. No idea why it would work in that manner.

I know, from what I have read everywhere that has been their problem as well, something to do with the radio not knowing it is in simplex. My guess is I need to update some type of firmware / software to get it working correctly, or possibly just program 2 channels for each frequency, one channel with slot 1 and one channel with slot 2

It works perfect with any other TYT radio on simplex.
