Alinco DJ-MD5
Tips First
* Uses a standard USB cable, micro USB on the radio end. Plug is tight at first, be certain to insert the USB cable fully; and right side up.* Comes with "gain" flex antenna, no need to purchase an after-market antenna... this one works surprisingly well.
* Click HERE to download the radio program software (if given a choice, do not save this as a text file)
* Click HERE to download the USB driver (may not be needed for Win 10; if given a choice... do not save this as a text file)
* for APRS-GPS to work fully, the radio needs firmware 1.10 or higher.
