Tytera TYT MD UV-390: What is wrong with my CPS

[KD0ZED]

It's the TYT MD UV-390 Plus CPS.

This is a new platform for me. I don't usually buy chinese radios but these intrigued me because of the features offered for the low price point.

I have used all kinds of brands/types of CPS' and I've never opened one immediately after installing and seen this.

I've checked all the switches between *download* and *install* and I haven't failed to click the correct clicky thing and I've uninstalled and re-installed this thing at least 4 times and when I open it, it always looks like the picture. I can't read that and I can't find the correct switch to flip to make it so I can read it.

Anyone?

Thank You

I figured it out. It installed in chinese for some reason and I was never asked to choose the language. I poked around until I found something resembling a language choice...just like magic.

…. But wait until you try on this nice little radio the alternate open source firmware OpneMDUV380 branched out from OpenGD77 !
You’ll see that this nice little CCR will really fly !

On that menu you're showing on screen shot, if you go 4 over from left to right, click on that and click english.

Thank you. I did figure it out by process of elimination and doing exactly what you suggested, shortly after posting.

Does OpenGD77 disable the ability to use encryption?

Does OpenGD77 disable the ability to use encryption?

It disable it. Here from the OpenGD77 GitHub page :

“Encryption is illegal for Amateur Radio in most countries, and will therefore not be included as part of the OpenGD77 firmware“
