The TYT MD-380 UHF DMR handheld transceiver uses the latest TDMA – Time Division Multi Access technology. It also operates in traditional analog FM modes with 12.5 or 25 kHz channel operation. The radio features a large color display. Channels may be labeled with up to 11 characters displayed. The tri-colored LED indicates: Green – receive, Orange – scanning, or Red – transmitting.

The DTMF keys on the front panel are backlit.
