I'm worried when I read the comment on here about "....someone plays with DTMF codes &amp; kills your radio". How likely, if possible, is that?

I have read that same posting. I have never heard of DTMF codes "bricking" a radio. I have 3 TYT TH-9000 radios and they all work great and I've never had an issue with DTMF codes effecting them in any way. I'm not sure what happened to that other gentleman's radio, but that doesn't sound likely to me.

no idea, but how did you get a DIN tool stuck? ;) Actually, I never got the radio loose with the pair sent to me. Either the set is useless or the clips are already damaged.

Be careful with this radio. If you inadvertently place an Emergency Service frequency on this radio and interfere with the Emergency Service channels by transmitting on those channels, they will report you and the FCC will track you down like a dog. Fines in the 5-figure area are not unusual.I noticed in the Chirp programming instructions that the Transmit Capability of each memory can be disabled. Safety First !

I am not sure, I can't check because I am deployed right now. I have used them on multiple times, and have never had a problem with someone on my channel. There are more than enough channels.

Howdy.I've got a question regarding your experience of recording digital over the air broadcasts with the dr560. Have you been able to program the machine to record stations that are not whole numbers, like 6, 12 and so on? We've got local stations that are sending multiple signals and designating them by adding a hypen and a number, like 13-1, 13-2 and so on. I'm considering buying a dr560 but won't if I can't record these stations. Thanks for your input.

Why do you want to do this? It"s a bad idea. You will send a real mish-mash of noise. But I don't think it will damage anything.

Sorry I could not get an FM HD station in my home so returned the radio for a full refund. others have answered that question -- probably not needed

I agree with all the other users who have written in. I was worried about others hearing my music as well. I had them cranked pretty high up on a road trip and asked my brother sitting next to me if he could make out what i was listening to and he couldn't.

Larry, Did the radio ever work? If it did and you haven't changed or moved anything...the unit is defective. If the radio has never worked, but the CD player is working...again the radio part if the unit is probably defective. I say "unit" because that's the way a repair technician will consider it...it's not cost-effective - labor wise - to repair. You can follow the warranty provisions, if still valid, or discard it. I'm a tech, and I doubt I could justify my time to repair my own Sony. Today's electronics are MOSTLY considered "throw away" items by the manufacturers.

wow thanks for replying you have saved me some worries ;) i thought it was the player giving me problems...maybe some others will respond with their experiences too...

To an extent, yes. I haven't tried doing it, but I've accidentally recorded something while I listened. I have had to give up my satellite radio after an accident.

When I called Mattel's customer service, they indicated that the item was probably used because the registration code was used. I was horrified because the mp3 player was completely untouched. Anyway, Mattel generated a new registration code and emailed it to me, but that one didn't work either (it came up with an error stating it had been used too). I think it's a glitch of some sort, but I'm leaning towards filing a complaint through the Better Business Bureau because they still haven't resolved the problem.

Irmina, Sorry, I can't help. I bought this as a gift for someone and, have had no reports on it. The recipient lives in another town and is a senior citizen. I set it up in his voice recorder and have not talked with him in over a month.

Max,I got a new HT via A,azion.com and it came from Radio mart in KY. Just way to many of you are worried about the newest version. My newest version is a 5RA and it has the 2nd to the last firmware.But that means nothing at all. All you need to know is here. http://www.miklor.com/ Please join the list but those guys will just tell you to read up in the files.I like mine,it has a siren,the case is beautiful but it has it's quirks. Guys are downloading software but I did mine manually. Some need WIN XP and others using VISTA need to download an updated driver. PLEASE DO NOT WORRY ABOUT LATEST FIRMWARE as i may only be a restriction on what you can or can't do out of the ham bands. I called this pure junk because it is hard to manually program it and at timed I'm in FREQ mode and it jumps into memory mode. Keep in mind that the mailing list is very,very large and many still do not have a TECH license. Use it as it was intended for and don't try making a queen mary from a canoe. Many are still using the very first unit and have no problems http://www.409shop.com/shop_displaynews.php?id=608&userid=100556 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/baofeng_uv5r/ These links will help BOB AF2Q

I'm really not sure...I haven't changed modes. Why not play it safe and turn it off. Rich Green

Funny to just get this... I have been having trouble with my radio for a year now. It keeps tripping the fuse under my hood. I went to Best Buy to see if they could check to see if it was grounded improperly and the technician said that this particular radio is very sensitive and has had so many issues that best buy no longer carries it. He said it would have been better to buy a cheap pioneer radio than this one.... sorry for bad news but something to look into. I can't return mine but if you are in the warranty window the installer said to get a refund or exchange quickly... your problems with start mounting... Funny to just get this...
