TYT MD380 Missed calls

[liamcarbin]

Not strictly scanning - apologies

Mainly use my TYT to listen into local dmr users - not DMR CB etc

Noticed my screen had gone to the missed calls list earlier and saw a shed load. Anyone have an explanation?

[LeakyFeeder]

Looks like its the id of a station from Derby...

[Admiral]

Are you using the hacked firmware? Looks like you've intercepted a private call attempt. It's the stuff that shows up in yellow on DSD+.

[liamcarbin]

I am indeed using the hacked firmware.

So no one is actually calling my radio

[Admiral]

I have no idea how or why as I'm not an expert with this stuff, but I occasionally get a missed call from someone using TG9990 echolink with the hacked firmware.

[radiosification]

Yeah the hacked firmware shows private calls to all IDs, so if you don't respond to them it'll show up as a missed call. If you were listening at the time it happened, you would have probably heard them talking in a private call.

Does this Firmware hack work on the Retevis RT3 UHF DMR and do i need to put in a call signs.?

The Retevis RT3 is a rebadged TYT MD-380, so yes, the hacked firmware will work just fine on your set.

If you're talking about ham DMR-MARC then no, you don't need to put in a callsign to receive, you will just see their RID like 9999999 etc, if you download the DMR-MARC database then you will see the callsign on your screen too.
