- We recently received back a couple of TYT MD-390 radios from a user that encountered problems with his first time use of a DMR radio. The video looks at the troubleshooting steps that were taken to identify the source of the problems, and correct or solve the issues.
Note: The MD-390 can be purchased as a VHF or UHF model. It is not a dual band radio, so the VHF model cannot receive or transmit on the FRS frequencies, which are UHF. The radio in this discussion is VHF.
