I can’t help you with your issue, but have a question for you. Where did you get the firmware file ? and the cable ? I have a Moonraker Titan MK II and would like to find the Midland PG8001 cable to use on the Titan, but it is out of stock. Curious where you got yours, and where I could find...

I can confirm the Midland tuning software works on the Luiton LT-310SDR. I got my USB-TTL cable from Amazon today, clipped the Dupont connectors off the three wires (TXD-GND-RXD) and crimped them onto a 6 pin modular plug (RJ-12). It works !!! Here is the cable I got… USB-TTL cable I used the...

Credit to Panic Attack on his public FB page… ***verify the pin numbers on the RJ-12 connector.*** Panic Attack lists them as pins 2,4 and 6, however the screenshots in Shadetree’s posts above indicate those pins as 1,3 and 5. Also indicated by this photo (pin 1-audio, pin 3-shield, pin...

Thanks for the review. Your results are similar to mine. A couple of things I want to mention… I did manage to make a Cobra 4 pin microphone adapter cable for my 310SDR, following the mic wiring from Panic Attack’s diagram found on his FB page. I can now use my Astatic 575 with the radio and...

If you try to remove the circuit board from the microphone case, exercise extreme caution, as the mic element is really tight in the molded cup it sits in. If you use a tad too much force, the element will snap off at the tiny leads. Ask me how I know :sneaky: Unfortunately, BestCB states they...

I don’t have a facebook account but a buddy sent me photos from Panic Attack’s FB feed. He disassembled the LT-310SDR and got photos of the underside of the board. He also has a video or two he has done on the radio. Since they are public posts, I was able to view them. LT-310sdr photos

The LT-310SDR microphone ‘innard’… The mic element is at the top left of the photo (two pins at the top left of the board). There is one ‘square’ on top right of the mic grill that is open in front of the element.

I want to issue a correction to an earlier post regarding the changing of bands on the LT-310SDR. I had said that I had to add an included jumper to get the band options, but I was wrong. I was not performing the power up sequence properly. You must hold the PTT button on the mic, and hold the...

Just for reference purposes, here are photos of my Luiton LT-310SDR board… and a screenshot of the Aquarion RP-70 board from a YT video called Malta Telecom-PY2LH, which was posted around March of 2026. Obvious differences in board design. Perhaps Lawrence Lin can advise why my Luiton radio...

I think it would require disassembly/desoldering to get to that side of the board, and that is beyond my pay grade. And while the radio wasn’t too expensive, I don’t want to screw with things too much. You know the old saying…”if it ain’t broke, we can fix that”. This Luiton radio does have...

Not really. What I did was listen to AM/FM/USB/LSB TX audio while the 310SDR was on the bench. I would say that TX audio is a disappointment. It sounds the same across all modes…very “boxy” or “stocky” or “mid-rangey”…pick your description. I will still put it in the vehicle and do some further...

Ok, a couple of quick observations… I think the TX audio may not be up to many people’s standards, but I have to install it in my car and try it from the road. I think this may be the biggest complaint people might have about this radio. It doesn’t seem to have much (if any) audio drive. It...

I received my LT-310SDR today. I had paid for the upgraded delivery on Best CB Radio’s site, which indicated UPS/FedEx, but it was delivered by a third party subcontractor. I would not bother with the expedited shipping option on the website. Out of the box, the radio booted up on 10m, with...

Let me give an update on my order… I ordered the LT-310SDR on April 23, 2026 and got confirmation emails from PayPal and Best CB Radio at that time. I have not got any other emails since then, and I have checked spam folders, etc. After Lawrence Lin posted above that all current orders have...

I share your skepticism but I am willing to let it ride and see if they come through. In that time, I did see Mr. Lin post a review of the radio on this site, but that may have been removed since I can’t find it now. (***edit*** I found it under Lawrence Lin’s profile. After more than 20 years...
