• 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.

Tytera MD380 Mod for xmit audio

I dug out an old Tyt-MD380 UHF radio. I'm using it with the original SharkRF Openspot hotspot. I'm surprised at how muffled the xmit audio sounds. I've heard others on the air and they sounded fine. Maybe QA is not very consistent. I seem to have a vague memory of modding the case around where the mic element is. Apparently the manufacture leaves the case with no pinhole access so it may contribute to the poor sound. Anyone remember the mod and can point me at a link describing it? I've been searching a bunch and have found no trace of it.

I suppose if the mod is not feasible I could always pickup a Kenwood OEM speaker/mic and see if it helps.

Thanks
Mike
