I'm worried when I read the comment on here about "....someone plays with DTMF codes & 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.

There is a remote disable feature that can be programmed into the radio that would disable it from transmitting. This is probably a feature that isn't widely known about for amateur uses, and was probably put in with the intent to disable rogue transmissions from compromising communications for extended lengths of time in hostile environments. Much of the commercial two-way radio gear that first responders and public servants here in the U.S. use have this feature / capability as well.

My radio stations stay programmed in but I lose all my bass, treble, equalizer setting etc... I have never had a programmer so I cannot fully answer this question either.

Yes. There are times when you will have faults that trigger, but not enough times to generate an actual DTC. Those are called 'pending' codes, and can still be pulled off the OBD as hints of possible upcoming problems.

Be sure you and the person on other radio are holding the radios perfectly straight up and down, antennae up. It has been proven that when held at even a slight angle as in the natural way it lays in the hand frequency range is greatly reduced. It convinced me.

What Mr. Faine says worked for me. No shut-offs and no interference from local radio stations. It's goofy, so here's a little more detail: Follow the instructions in the review section for this product to put it in International Mode and set preset 1 to the lowest frequency (87.7). Switch the unit back to U.S. mode. Tune your FM radio to 87.7 Press the preset button repeatedly on the unit until it says 107.9. *** the unit will actually broadcast on 87.7, not 107.9. *** it no longer shuts off

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.

Unfortunately, I can't answer that, since my is connected to my receiver. Sorry!

Bill has a good point, but I would recommend you read our discussion in my review first and make your own decision. I have used it like this for a long time until one day the wires melted! I am sure others have had better luck, it's only how much of a risk you are willing to take.

Absolutely NOT! I had the same concern, especially for distortion of picture memory. There has been NONE! And there also has been no problem with radio or even phone signal. Hope that helps...

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

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.

I agree with what Daniel said. He has the exact answer I was going to give. There are many variables you have to consider and to make any radio reliable it must be configured properly.

Thanks for the post I had the problem and with your help the FM came up again. Will watch for the pause button the next time. Was close to throwing it into the trash

Hi fellas! Quick question, is this a radio that a newbie would be able to learn to use, perhaps with a modest amount of instruction?If it is, Ed, would you like to sell yours? Thanks!

Yes, But I don't understand why that would ensure a "no buzz" scenario. Perhaps your home radio needs to be looked at as the culprit!

ok,well,as i just stated in my last post, i have already gone to antennaweb.org.and their information must be taken with a grain of salt.the predictions for what you can and cannot get seem to be educated guesses,but do not pan out (at least in my case). but anyway,i already know that knowing the location of a transmitter generally helps.i only want information on different makes of converter boxes.

I am so sorry. I have been reading one thing and thinking another. The integration we are currently working on is live365 not last.fm. www.live365.com Sorry for the mistake. Greg
