Looks like Tytera has a new radio out. MD390.
Maybe this is why the 380 is now $125. GARY

What is 'firmware upgrade'? So it appears it doesn't have GPS, so I don't see the big upgrade advantage over the 380?
ReplyDeleteWonder if the MD-390 will have upgraded encryption standard. To fix the issues and concerns some users have with the MD-380
ReplyDeleteI bet not. Don't expect too much from it. They (TYT) don't write the fw themselves, so the less changes the cheaper. To upgrade encryption algorithm, they would have to pay the consultant to develop it. Implementing AES or even DMRA AES over the existing firmware is not easy nor cheap. They have important cpu constraints due to the AMBE vocoder implemented in software.
DeleteThey told 390 will come with GPS, then not in first batches... they did the same with 380, i saw first MD-380 advertisements with "GPS Included" and then it dissapeared, although the MD380 PCB has the space for the GPS module.
I had a conversation with Jeremy from TYT, it´s again not dual band; either VHF or UHF, the display will glare again in darkness (no dimming function) if they did not reduce the basic brightness comp. to the 380 version.
ReplyDelete(last resort --> modification)
I hope they did improvments in their software to close the gap to Moto and HYT.
I was hoping on a DUAL band 2/70 and option to turn dial frequency's.
ReplyDelete6.25 / 8.33 KHz frequency tuning steps.
Without these options many hams like me are still sticking to analog dual band handhelds.
