The firmware thread is located in the Budget and Entry Level Transceivers forum. There's also a redirect (expiring) in the Amateur Radio forum linking to the thread.
Folks, here's the reasoning behind what we're doing:
If you wish to discuss the MD380 (or any other commercial radio) and it's operation on the amateur bands, please use the Digital Voice for Amateur Radio forum. Asking for amateur codeplugs or how to program the User Activated Talkgroups would be two examples.
If you're asking a question not related to amateur radio use, than the Budget and Entry Level forum is the place.
Since the "digital carrier squelch" firmware mod is probably more appealing to people trying to listen to commercial users, the thread has been moved here.
There's always a few ways to view something but emailing a moderator to question his knowledge of amateur radio and to tell him that we all could "loose" if we don't adapt all commercial radios to amateur use really doesn't help your viewpoint. I'm also not convinced that moving one post will affect public service in a way that my well being will be affected.
Bottom line, the MD380 is not an amateur radio. Neither are all the other commercial radios being deployed on the amateur bands.
Thanks for your time.
