Reducing MD-380/RT3 low power level for hotspot use

A battery saving technique that has been posted on the internet, provides instructions for reducing the low power setting on the TYT MD-380 / RETEVIS RT3 to approximately 100mW. Remember it is at your own risk if you try this!
I have modified both my Tytera MD-380 and Retevis RT3 using these instructions on SQ9JDO’s website.

Tytera TYT MD-380 DMR Handheld

I’ve had the Tytera TYT MD-380 DMR Handheld now since last Christmas and now it has the experimental firmware and I update it regularly with the DMR ID database using WH6AV script on the Raspberry Pi, so that names and locations are shown on screen for all operators. This is a really convenient feature. The radio has been excellent, no problems with it or batteries.

Most of the radio use is with internet connected hotspots rather than repeaters. There are two DMR repeaters within 10 miles but I can’t access either from the home QTH. So thats why I first purchased the DV4mini.
