If you go with another brand of Radio or different kind of Hotspot, ZUMspot, OpenSpot etc. Please search the net for other videos for that particular version. I will post instructions on the TYT MD380 soon. Since I have both radios and I have programed them both successfully and have written Code Plugs for both I have little knowledge.
Have fun.
