Interesting developments on a cheap DMR radio

Take a look at the article on hackaday.com and va3xpr.net about the reverse engineering and a new firmware for the TYT MD-380.

Still 5 countries to be confirmed to reach the "100" threshold on 40m

On 10, 15 and 20m is done. Still need 5 confirmed countries to reach 100 on 40m.

Once the new wire antenna will be in place, it will be time to increase the score on 80m!

Also VP8SGI! And again on 17m/CW

Excellent CW operator, probably the same of the QSO with VP8STI.

VP8STI: 17m/CW with vertical and 100W

Tried also on 20m/CW.
One QSO, an ATNO for me, is better than nothing.
