User Manual: The included user manual is poorly written, and does not clearly address how to accomplish functions related to using the radio and with configuring the radio via the programming software.

User Experience: The user experience within the radio’s menu could be improved to make it more user-friendly.

Programming Software: The programming software is a bit complicated to use and lacks help information, so novices to DMR may find it challenging.

Price: At $279 USD, this radio is a very attractive option for anyone looking for a dual band DMR mobile radio.

DTMF Keypad – The microphone supports A, B, C & D DTMF keys, which are commonly used for ham radio purposes.

Single Codeplug – Codeplugs created for the MD-9600 will also work with the TYT MD-2017 dual band DMR portable, allowing users to have one codeplug for both radios.

3,000 Channels: Having the capacity to store 3,000 channels, users will have the capacity to store channels for use at home and while travelling.

100,000 Contacts: With firmware version 4.05, users can store up to 100,000 DMR contacts in their radios.

Multiple DMR IDs: This radio supports multiple DMR radio IDs, allowing a great deal of flexibility for hams that need the ability to use multiple DMR IDs.

Mono LCD Display: Having a large bright blue LCD display on the radio allows for easy use when on the move.

Audio Volume and Quality: The audio from this radio is full and loud so that it will get heard, even in the noisiest environments.

Dual Band Operation: Having the ability to operate simultaneously on both VHF (136 – 174 MHz) and UHF (400 – 480 MHz) DMR systems offers great flexibility.

They are fantastic at being Muse: it’s not a role that anybody else should ever attempt. As they close a pulverising evening with the reliably apocalyptic Knights of Cydonia, it’s clear they have long since become their own musical genre. It’s strange to recall that Muse, in their early days, were labelled mere Radiohead wannabes.

As the band launch into the overwrought space-rock of a 2007 B-side, Glorious, a woman standing near me bursts into tears. He’s a staggeringly virtuoso guitarist, firing out the intricate widdly riff to 2006 B-side Easily, a song they have never played live before, at breakneck speed with meticulous precision.Įven when Muse’s baroque, flamboyant rock is indisputably daft, as on the cod-Orwellian Citizen Erased, or chaos-theory anthem Butterflies and Hurricanes, you boggle at its preposterous elan. Muse have always cleaved to the Jim Steinman musical edict of everything louder than everything else, but so much of what they do is bound up in the elfin, intense Bellamy. Faced with unfurling their operatic, Armageddon rock in reduced circumstances, unleashing a thunderstorm in a matchbox, they simply bludgeon the audience as if they are playing Wembley Stadium as per usual. The whole bizarre thing works because of the air of thrilled devotion emanating from the audience, and because Muse don’t really do downsizing. Hit singles are out and 15-year-old B-sides are in: tonight’s set seems to be most crowd-pleasing when it is at its most obscure and arcane. Diehard fan club members are not as other people, and taking to Twitter leading up to the gig, singer Matt Bellamy described their song choices as “deep cuts, real deep”.
