Jeez. My TV remote control has more components. LOL.

That's likely a cable problem, not a radio problem. Get one with a FTDI chip, not the fake Prolific chip.
Yeah, that about the CTCSS decoder falsing was to illustrate how squirrely the thing is. I am going to do the same thing with the UV5 to see if it is common to Baofengs. That little problem would seriously limit its usefulness in analog mode if DMR doesn't work out. I didn't set a talk group. I can program a different channel with the same frequency but different color code, but I understand there are bunches of talk groups. I was trying to listen to that local business just to see if I could get it going. What I really want to monitor is our local Sheriff's department. I don't know of anywhere I can find which slot, color code, and talk group they are using. Is there such a thing as promiscuous mode where I can hear any color code, or talk group?
This radio was shipped to me after having twice requested a full refund long before shipment was made:
1) Refund request 10/23/2016
2) Refund request 10/31/2016
Both times the request was ignored by support@radiooddity.com
Although the radio will work normally in analog mode, the DMR mode does not work at all. Even after programming correctly, the radio completely fails to connect.
I have five other DMR radios (CS-800 x2, Motorola XPR7550, MD-380 x2, all of which work perfectly. I have five DMR repeaters locally; one VHF and the other four UHF.
Please process a refund before I have to escalate this to a PayPal Dispute.
I know there are issues with repeaters and transmitting but I'm curious if it was able to receive and if you are on the new firmware?Using the programming software, I was finally able to program several analog repeater pairs, as well as several simplex analog frequencies.
DMR on the other hand simply will not work at all. Period. Accordingly, here is my note to the vendor, Radioddity.com requesting a full refund for this POS.
No, it never received anything at all. Yes, it came with the new firmware already installed.I know there are issues with repeaters and transmitting but I'm curious if it was able to receive and if you are on the new firmware?
