All hardware versions are supported.

But... Most radios which display V1 in the official firmware are actually hardware PCB version 2.x

You should try the V2 firmware version first.

The V1 firmware version is actually for the first V2 PCB radios. Although the PCB is labelled V2, there are some small differences, so we had to make a V1 firmware version for early V2 hardware versions.

We are not aware of how to determine if the hardware is old V2 or newer V2. Probably TYT knows this from the serial numbers, but we don't have this information.

Hi,
tnx for reply.
the box here says s/n 1711A00050 and V.01.22 and was sold im 2018
the mainboard sys: "MD9600-UV-V2.1-170608"
so you might be right, this could already be a V2 or even V3 as I determined from KC5HWB's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=159P1NI_EvQ

Seems there are a lot of old links in the "Alpha version" thread.

This is the latest?!
downloads/MD9600/Firmware/819b259a37c4a ... dc3be1e5d/

Is there any static link always pointing to the latest?
