TYT MD-UV380 Plus Dual Band DMR Digital Two Way Radio

The radio is well worth the price. It’s my first DMR and it’s definitely different than my Fusion Yaesu units. I’m still learning the DMR names and programming. It’s great on analog with great sensitivity. Buytwowayradio has great customer service after the sale. Better than the big 3. 73

The radio seems fine. I was unable to upload my codeplug (wrong drivers) all day Sunday. On Monday morning 2way came back to work, and John the tech guy got it working in just a few minutes by loading the right driver instead of all the wrong drivers scattered over the www.

My radio is virtually a "brick". The programming software is not ham radio specific as it originates from the public safety sector. I have not been able to even get analog to work. If you are experienced in the commercial or public safety sector then this is fine for you but NOT for the "casual" ham operator.

Typical of DMR, more difficult to program. But no more difficult than any other. Major issue I had was exporting the codeplug, the repeater TS is incorrect in the spreadsheet. What should be a 1 is showing in the spreadsheet as a 0. What should be showing as a 2, is showing a timeslot of 1. Otherwise, great sound and operation.

At first it was hard to program it but I was able to figure to get it working right.

Love the Dual Band Dual Mode Radio works perfect on DMR and Analog.

Radio works great being a Volunteer Firefighter, Law Enforcement Official I needed a reliable radio.
This radio has been great.
It took a week to get to my by USPS suppose to be 3 days but when it did arrive progamming was daily easy.
BUY TWO WAY RADIOS service was excellent and shipping was quick.
The service with BUY TWO WAY RADIOS has always been good with the 3,000 radios purchased as of today.
Works great on our repeater system and on our analog and dmr radios.

MD-380, UHF only, circa 2016, was good, this MD-UV380 is really similar, but includes VHF, and dual "transceivers/VFO", 1 TX at a time of course. CPS v01.12 is best to use, although the Buy 2 way radios download also works. Solid construction. Same battery and charger as original.

This radio is more than I expected for the price. It is solid, easy to program and sounds good.
It's a two thumbs up.

Took me a week to learn the DMR Programming....Fiunally got 86,000 "Contacts" int it...Have it set up for Brandmeister and TGIF Groups....Also Analog is set as one "Zone"....Steep learning Curve...However it was worth learning this....and what a GREAT Radio to learn DMR ! ! Now to get a second one for my wife....

Thank you good radio fast programming case industrial.

Good power and sound. Programming software easy to use. Configuration smooth and fast. Functions great. Buy it! Better than Baofeng.

Solid radio, crystal clear digital audio. programmable side buttons. love being able to switch between dmr and analog. Box was labeled exactly what I ordered. manaul says GPS optional assuming because its the same manual for both gps and non gps versions.

I have been a ham for over 60 years and never have I had as hard a time getting a new radio to run as I have this one. My brother and I are both advanced extra class and we have worked days trying to get this radio to work and so far no joy. Also the box is mislabeled. I thought I had the gps version as the box clearly indicates. However I do not have a gps and I will spend tomorrow again trying to figure it out. The support group hasn’t been helpful.

Out of the box radio looks well constructed. Software was easy to load. CPS has alot of great improvements over the standard MD-380 UHF. Great to be able to monitor both DMR and analog on both bands.
