 ## MD380 Mod

 The modification of the TYT MD380 is described [here in great detail](https://openrtx.org/#/md380_mods) and would normally need no further explaination. If you compare the images on the linked website with how my modification looks like, you will notice some differences:

-Difference 1: I don't have any SMD components, which is why I performed the "Mic -> MCU" mod (upper part in the picture) with a regular resistor. Make sure that the resistance is positioned in such a way that it does not press against the display during / after assembly.

+### Receiving Audio
+
+Since this solution has so far only made it possible to send and not to receive M17 audio with the MD380, you also need an additional software like [Droidstar](https://github.com/nostar/DroidStar). This way you can send with the MD380 and receive via Droidstar. Decoding M17 audio will be added in future releases of OpenRTX.
