If there are any HYT gurus here, I need help.
I recently obtained an HYT (Hytera) TM800(U) 450-512 mobile radio. Apparently this is the same radio as the Relm RMU800A, if that helps. After some net research, I believed I was on the right track when I found and purchased appropriate programming software called TM800M (V1.4.01.003). Unfortunately when trying to read the radio I get an error that states "this version is not compatible" or something to that effect. When trying to force a generic codeplug to the radio the software just freezes indefinitely, requiring a reboot. I've tried various tricks I've learned from years of using GE/Ericsson software for decades but to no avail.
Did some more digging and talked to the guy I bought the radio from and he stated he used software known as HM800E, but he isn't willing or able to send me a copy of it. Based on what I've read, I don't know where to find this version or if its even the right one. It seems unobtainable, anyway. Apparently these radios have at least 4 main versions of firmware and every firmware version has it's own programming software (!).
I think I need HM800E V2.1.12 - If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it. I don't normally fool with offshore brands but I got a good deal on this radio and it's actually perfect for what I'll need it for, so I want to try to make it work. Thanks.
