2 dud's.  I bought one and won one..   It's really not a bad radio in Analog and DMR.. .  I'm gonna figure out whats gong on with the encryption, something buggy there and probley doesn't like the highest level where i have it set..    

I suspect that the error detection on the highest level of encryption is what’s causing the problem. It might be so sensitive to errors (understandably) that at any greater distance the error rate prevents the data from getting through.

i think you are right..  Couldn't play tonight, my friend with the other radio got drug out to dinner  by wify..   ... will try tommorow..  I just found out the one i bought (from RadioDitty) came with a European Charger...  Been charging it on my labtop cord and had to dig into the factory unit tonight.    One more surprise

Just a note on DMR encryption. This thread on another forum might be of interest.

I think the only encryption that fairly interoperable between manufacturers is ARC4 (RC4) 40 bit. Some DMR radios don’t offer AES or DES levels.

I found this thread. I do have a few Motorola XPR650’s with RC4, and I have it added to my Kenwood NX-1300’s. They go by different names but are the same thing.

I hate it when you have to order the cable separate.

It's not the cables so much as the different chargers for my various Part 90 Icom LMR h-t's

I have to admit, I was lucky when I purchased my 1st Alinco Part 90 h-t years ago [DJ-MD40], it was on sale, & included the cable

A shame that a radio as complicated as DMR does not come with its programming cable included. 

I don't use DMR, but I'm glad that my Alinco DJ-MD5 uses a standard micro-USB cable

I don't remember if one was included or not
