Tytera MD-9600: Digital Mobile

BuyTwoRadios.com announces the Tytera MD-9600 as a follow-up to the MD-380 HT:
"The MD-380 was a game changer, and turned Tytera into respected brand in the DMR marketplace almost overnight. 
Now they are about to do it again. Get ready for the Tytera MD-9600 Digital Mobile Radio
Yes, that's right, the long-awaited announcement is here. Tytera has introduced a new mobile two way radio capable of operation in both digital and analog modes. 
According to Tytera, the MD-3900 operates on 400-480MHz frequencies at up to 45 watts (UHF model) or 136-174MHz VHF at up to 50 watts (VHF model). As a DMR radio, It uses Time Division Multiple Access(TDMA) technology and is compatible with MotoTRBO Tier I and II."
No pricing yet, but expected release date is in May.

The product sheet can be found here (PDF).

(As a side note, I've probably not given the MD-380 as much attention as I should have.)

  1. The MD-380 is a cool little rig. A few polish issues remain (for example, one of the menus has "repeatar" instead of "repeater"). But I bought one last weekend and it's been a good intro to DMR. Seems like a lot of people are using them too (I'd say about a third of the people who've identified their radio on NA this past week have been using MD-380s).

    1. I just purchased the TYT MD-390,it is brilliant. Both analog and Digital. For less than $199.00. It is by far the best HT I've ever owned. I also have an ICOM ID-51. But the Tytera is by far more rugged and easier to operate, and program. It may have been designed for, Commercial use; however, this radio is a very solid Amateur DMR radio I have come to find. I'm putting it to good use here in Southern California. I've already made several World contact through my local repeater system.
