1· Enter the digital contact

Create one digital contact and reuse it on every channel.
| Contact Name | Call Type | Call ID | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| mWAVE | Group Call | 310564 | Assign to all 44 channels |
2· Shared channel settings

Apply these to every mWAVE channel; only RX/TX frequency and Color Code change per repeater (see Catalog tab or table below).
| Field | Setting | Field | Setting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Channel Mode | Digital | Contact Name | mWAVE |

*If RX shows a signal but stays muted, create one RX Group List named mWAVE containing the same contact and assign it to all channels.
3· Program each repeater channel

Full per-channel RX/TX frequency, Color Code and site info is in the Catalog tab — use the state filters or search to find a repeater, tap it, and copy its RX/TX/CC into the channel you create.
4· Suggested zone layout

MD-380 zones hold 16 channels max, so the 44 repeaters split into three zones:
5· Important notes
5
- Read the radio with TYT CPS first and save a backup before making changes.
- RX Frequency is what the MD-380 receives; TX Frequency is what it transmits to the repeater.
- Use the Color Code shown for each repeater. Every mWAVE channel uses Time Slot 1 and the same mWAVE contact.
- Group List = None matches the standard setup. If RX shows a signal but stays muted, create an RX Group List named mWAVE (same contact) and assign it to all channels.
- Some site pages label mWAVE as PTT 15. On those sites, key briefly to activate the talkgroup, then listen before transmitting again.
- This sheet/CSV are programming references, not a ready-to-write .RDT codeplug — your DMR Radio ID and other existing radio settings must be preserved separately.
- N. Reno and Pine Cove are excluded (listed permanently offline by the official site). Silver is excluded (moved to BrandMeister).
