Re: Installing using M1 Mac and VMWare Fusion/Parallels

My next attempt I think is to try to use Zadig (https://zadig.akeo.ie/) to see if it will insert the WinUSB driver under Arm. Wish me luck! lol

Re: Installing using M1 Mac and VMWare Fusion/Parallels

I use Parallels, but also have been unable to find an Arm driver for the STM chip. Apart from the firmware updates the CPS works flawlessly though. You may want to give this driver a try if you're feeling adventurous. I haven't tried it yet so YMMV. https://community.st.com/t5/stm32-mcus-boards-and-...

Re: Maximum Power on TYT-MD-9600

Thanks for the explanation. In the USA it's technically illegal to use a handheld mic while driving :shock: but one is more likely to get a ticket if it has more than a PTT control on it. It’s not here in Ohio at least. There is a specific provision in the law that exempts amateur radio operation f...

I thought someone already posted photos of their new MD-9600 with the TYT (unbranded) CPU working OK

So I don't think there is a need to find old stock
I just purchased one of the new ones with the unbranded CPUs and it’s working wonderfully with the open source firmware.

Re: New Beta version 2023 02 28

I guess you have lots of reflected RF going back into to the radio/power supply/feed which is upsetting the display/cpu. Where is your antenna positioned in relation to the radio ? A dummy load/swr meter or tests with some others working antenna installation seems necessary. OK, overlook the idiot ...
