Both types of vocoder are supported
(old & new vocoder radios)

Firmware Installation using a Windows Computer
FOR YOUR RADIO:
You can install the *Experimental Firmware* into your MD380 or MD390 by
using one of .bin files found in the ZIP downloaded from this website.
FOR YOUR COMPUTER:
You need to use "Radio Firmware (.bin) Updater for Windows"
to flash the new firmware into your radio.
HOW TO UPDATE YOUR RADIO:
- Turn off your radio using the volume knob
- Attach the Tytera USB cable to the SP and MIC ports of your radio (Baofeng cable will NOT work!)
- Attach the Tytera USB cable to your host computer
- Push and Hold 2 buttons on the side of the radio, the large PTT and the smaller button above the PTT button (not the button with the "M" on it)
- While holding the 2 buttons, Power ON your radio using the volume knob
- Release the buttons on the radio
- The status LED should be on and alternating between Red & Green, indicating you're in flash upgrade mode
- Go back and retry the previous steps if you do not see flashing Red & Green on top of your radio
- The radio will not accept the new firmware unless the LED is flashing RED & GREEN

Sample Flash Session (Available in English, Espanol, Deutsch, Francais, Italiano)
- Start the "Upgrader.exe" program
- Click "1: Select the New Firmware" and choose one of the .bin files found in the downloaded zip
- Click "2: Update the MD380 ~ MD390" and wait for the flash update process to finish. It takes about a minute to complete (VE3PZR: my radio takes 70 seconds to flash)
- Turn off your radio using the volume knob
- Disconnect the USB cable from your radio and host computer
- Turn the radio back on, and you should see the Welcome screen. You're running patched firmware!
