Tytera TYT MD-750 - Programming

[Wackodrumr]

Does anyone have experience with programming a TYT MD-750 DMR HT? They are fairly cheap entry level DMR HT but there's very little resources on the web about how to program. I have experience with programming DMR, but TYT's software isn't really covered with a very good help file.

Software MD-750
Version 1.1.8T

I've searched YouTube and the Google's but no clear-cut tutorial on how their software should be set up for DMR repeaters.

Here are a couple of things I'm trying to figure out:
When on a local repeater (two time slots with multiple TG's available), I'm keying up on the designated talk group, US 3100 for example. Then If I want to change to a different TG from my contacts such as World Wide 91, the talkgroup defaults back to US 3100. It never remains in the last selected TG which is frustrating. I've been able to key up on different talk groups, but the radio eventually defaults back to the primary talk group programmed into the channel.

Also, it's quite quirky on sending the code plug. If I make too many changes to my CPS, it will tell me to read the radio... Once I do that, my changes are lost. I can't simply open a CPS file and send the file to the radio; I have to read the radio first, make small changes, then send the file.

Don't have this radio, but I have always just programmed a different channel for each talkgroup in my TYTs. Never really tried to just try to change the talkgroup contact.

After you read the radio and start to make changes it's best to save the file frequently. That way all is not lost if something occurs.

Any I am on the computer working on something in any program always save every few minutes or so to make nothing is lost.

I do this often as well. However, after making edits to my code plug the software will give me this warning:



If I read the data, that wipes out all of my changes that I made.

Yea you need to save it with a different file name each time.
