Fitting an external GPS module to a TYT MD-9600 mobile DMR radio
In this video, I show how to connect to the existing GPS connections in a TYT MD-9600 mobile DMR radio, so that an external GPS module can be connected via the back panel of the radio.
In my case I have a flying lead out of the back of the radio.
The version 4A / version 5 radios have a rubber blanking plug in the back of the radio, which can be removed and used as an access path for the GPS cable.
Older models would require a hole to be drilled or filed into the back of the radio, or possibly a socket fitted to the top or side of the radio.
For a better installation of a socket in the radio, the main PCB would need to be removed, as there is space on the back panel, below the external speaker jack, but because I have a V4A / V5 radio I was able to use the blanked section of the upper rear part of the radio for the exit point of the GPS cable

    Hello Roger this is Wolfi OE1WBS. I followed your Instructions and turned my TYT 2017 into a fantastic satellite radio. I came across your website and your videos because we are the dealing with the antenna rotors and satellite operations in our club during the last weeks. After many hours with connecting my other rigs of well known manufacturers to communicate with software like gpredict (which is fine too) its a pleasure to have a radio that calculates and corrects Doppler-shift on its own. Your work will give a major impulse on our Austrian ham community. Thank and 73 from Vienna.

    I've got the '1701 (US$45 with NM sales tax, arrived in a week). I've burned the openGD77 firmware and downloaded the codeplug I've used on my two other DMR HTs that have also been modified. Quick question: when I put my local GMRS repeater in the codeplug and created a zone for GMRS, it puts the date in the radio fine.. However, attempting to transmit, I get a predicted "OUT OF BAND" message. Is there any way to open it up? Curious. Thanks!

      If you mean the 10W radios. Then Yes. OpenGD77 now supports the different hardware in the 10W radios. However there seem to have been some manufacturing problems with the 10W radios, where the screens are not as bright as they should be. This is not a firmware compatibility problem, owners of the 10W radio have found that the wrong value resistor has been fitted to the display backlight. BTW. If you are referring to the updates to the encryption functions of the official firmware. OpenGD77 doesn't and will never support encryption for legal reasons, and AFWK there is no hardware difference in these radios related to encryption

    Why do you need to update the firmware? Does the firmware fix problems or add features? If it fixes problems or adds features, that should be stated at the beginning of your video! If there isn’t a good reason to update the firmware, what’s the point of updating the firmware, because updating firmware sometimes fails on some devices, and then you end up with a non-functional device!

    you should have used the "internal" GPS with a SMA pigtail out the back of the radio, this is how it should be done.

    • @vk3kyy
      @vk3kyy 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Using a external GPS module reduces signal loss down the RF cable. Many commercial radios use external serial GPS modules, e.g. the Codan HF transceivers use this method. However using a GPS module that has a RF socket will also work

      @@vk3kyy yes, but those provide a proper multipin connector to it, while this has only an UFL. This was meant to have just an antenna, with a SMA to UFL pigtail for the internal pathway, no actual internal antenna. Maybe it could support an active antenna by sending power through the coax, see PCB traces.

    • @vk3kyy
      @vk3kyy 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes. Voice prompts work like on the other OpenGD77 firmware. I do not have any other radios on my 'hit list'. There are very few other radios which use or used the same chipset as in all the supported radios. i.e The C6000 DMR + FM DSP chip. Newer radios use a combined CPU + DSP chip called a C7000 which is a Chinese product with no support for any developers outside China to use it. Even inside China only industrial companies can access the programming tools to use it. There are some older radios, like the Aluiance HD1 which I think may use the same C6000 chip, but its not a radio which sold well, and its no longer manufactured, and even getting hold of one would be difficult, so its unlikely I would have the time etc to port to that radio unless someone gave me several of them to take apart etc
