• 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.

I ran into this problem a long time ago with my MD380. Set it on the shelf for a while (read, 2 years) and approached it again. Same issue, couldn't find much help else where.

I upgrade the fw in my MD380 to the TyteraFlashTool by KD4Z. I now noticed that the radio seems to be deaf. It picks up the garage repeater just fine, but the 25 watt repeater about a mile from me is almost unrecievable. It's not incorrect/corrupt programming, as when I open squelch I can hear the repeater in the noise, it's just far below the squelch level.

When I revert back to the correct factory firmware, it stays the same.

Any advise? Anyone else have this issue?

Was it turned on or near a high powered transmitter in the same freq range? Sounds like a front end issue.
