Tytera MD-380 programming

[DeRanKeR]

So I recently was given an MD-380 as a birthday gift. I've taken steps to program a local amateur repeater in and every time I try to write to the radio it reads the error the frequency range is wrong. I have it set to 136-174 MHz and the frequency I am joining is 147.375 and the repeater is in analog mode. The radio is also set to analog.

Are you sure you have the vhf model and not a UHF (only) model?

Would you happen to know how I can check that?

Firmaware Version is D002.034

You can read the radio in the software. Or try loading a UHF frequency.

Unless I am mistaken, the.MD-380 is UHF only. The screenshot says you have the 380, so it won't take a VHF frequency. FWIW the MD-UV380 is dual band.

The MD380 comes in either VHF or UHF.

My guess is that you have a UHF model. What does the sticker beneath the battery say?

Here’s mine:

The MD380 comes in either VHF or UHF.

Single band vhf or UHF. Look at the label on the radio under the battery for which band you have. The software works on both models, so it let's you select UHF or vhf in the menu. But the hardware cannot do both bands in one radio.
