TYT MD-9600 GPS with AES256 Dual Band DMR Mobile Transceiver 50-Watt Car Truck Radio

Good radio for price .eyez program.Light won't come on in cold weather

Do not try to upgrade the firmware in this radio. It uses the new 2571 chip in it and works so, so with installed firmware and will not work at all with any upgrade. Look at the white 2571 sticker on radio if you buy one. Finally got mine 100% by building a new code plug with RT sys CPS V01.10 and TYT firmware P026.045. TYT CPS is the issue with these new 2571 chipped radios from this seller. While some have had some success with the Opensource GD firmware, it can be very problematic, RT sys and firmware P026.045 is an easier route but costs some money.Update, I purchased a second MD 9600 and it is also fully operational with RT sys CPS, this time using the stock firmware as shipped. So, in summary, I would try RT sys CPS if you have tx and rx issues on these radios with the 2571 white stickers on the side of them. There is a reason, rest assured, why TYT removed all firmware updates from their site. Their CPS does not work properly with these radios that have the new pll 2571 chip in them. Hope this helps.

Was almost unusable with the stock firmware until I put OpenGD77 firmware on it. Then it actually works very well on DMR and analog. Don't bother using the stock firmware. Too frustrating.

Item was a gift. Item was as expected. Recipient had some Questions and the seller was responsive until the question was resolved.

The radio performs well in all areas except for the display. It is difficult to read even while sitting on a desk. In a vehicle it is almost unreadable. Lots of uhf and vhf channels available once you figure out the control plug format. Other than the display this radio is a good buy and works well. If you work in bright light like sunlight, I would suggest seeing one in person before investing. Quality looks very good and it is very small in size which is nice..

I got this radio all hooked up and programmed, which wasn’t easy but I did. It would not transmit on most frequencies. After some troubleshooting, I discovered via SW102 that the radio would not maintain frequency. 151.625 was programmed and the radio would start at around 141 when keyed and slowly creep up, about .100mhz every few seconds. Plugged my old radio back into the same power and antenna and it held frequency no problem. Some bad QC on these radios.

Just what I needed.Extremely satisfied with product.

works very well with the opengd77 firmware. GPS works but need some time to get a position.
