10W UV380/UV390 PLUS - WORK IN PROGRESS

[KA8CJI]

I have a chance to pick up a UV-380 (non gps) with firmware d019.013 This appears to be an older firmware. Has anyone upgraded their 380 with this older original firmware to the OpenGD77 firmware without any issues?

I have a chance to pick up a UV-380 (non gps) with firmware d019.013 This appears to be an older firmware. Has anyone upgraded their 380 with this older original firmware to the OpenGD77 firmware without any issues?

I doubt if many people wrote down the specific original firmware version before upgrading

In general, the only problems have been with the recently produced "Plus" Versions of the UV380

[KK7QLA]

This is the response from my 10w UV390 PLUS (non gps version, I believe)
I was also sent the wrong radio from Ebay and flashed it before I looked at it.
I ordered the 5w version with gps and got a 10w non gps version.


TLDR, none of the TBD pins change the backlight.
This was my first time using Termite.
I can test, retest when/if needed.

OK. Thanks

Thats very strange.

I need to check the pin list to confirm which pins were unused.

I hope that TYT have not swapped some pins, as this makes things very difficult.

I'll need to check what version the debugging is at in the version I posted.

I think basically you'll need to try all the pins, but this will be a pain in the ass, so I'll try to write something to simplify things.

I'll need to make a new variant where the backlight pin is on PC6

However, this means that the PA Band select VHF/UHF must be on another pin
They may have even changed things a bit more, and made the radio more like the GD-77, which has completely separate PAs or VHF and UHF, rather than a wideband PA + filtering which is what AFIK the UV380 used to have.



I don't think it's going to be practical for you to attempt to find this until I create a new variant, becasue the firmware is going to be changing the backlight pin when you change bands , in order to test Tx on both VHF and UHF

Do you have a power meter that works on VHF and UHF. It does not need to be at all accurate, just good enough to tell whether the power output is roughly correct, or completely wrong.

i.e if the wrong band PA is selected then the output filter will greatly reduce the power for signals which are out of band.
From what I can remember, the UV380 is similar to radios like the RD-5R , and posibly even the UV-5R, where the first part of the PA is wideband, and there is a filter just before the antenna, but I could be totally wrong.

Either way, selecting the wrong PA band will screw up the output power



When I get time, I'll try to look at the photos that people have posted of the PCB on the 10W UV380 to see if it looks like a complete redesign of the PA , to make separate chains for VHF and UHF, or whether they just re-organised the PCB to fit bigger PA FETs


Also..

This new variant needs a name, i.e is it the UV380_PLUS variant ot the UV380_PLUS_10W variant.

Do we know if any 5W UV380 PLUS radios have this problem, or is it just the 10W UV380

We also don't know if all new UV380s are now called the PLUS even the 5W, which are probably the same as the Non-PLUS 5W radios inside the case
