Many don't realize this is the first step. You can't import anything
but the specially structured file that was downloaded from the same
model radio (or one you downloaded and changed yourself) then uploaded
it to the radio.

That needs to be done first to set up the file that you're going to
enter programming data into for each memory channel. Save what you
downloaded, even if it has things on it you're going to erase, just in
case you mess something up, so you can go back to this stage.

Then you can copy and paste into that downloaded form you have after
downloading the file from the radio. Be sure you only copy columns
into appropriate columns in your radio. There may be columns that
aren't in the same place as the CSV file has. Or columns that are
different. Don't change the positions of the columns.

Does this help?

Re: TIDRADIO

 

it does but unless? you have the odmaster Bluetooth to K-type dongle it won't work. Better off using Chirp with standard K to USB lead, you can export frequencies across many radio models/brands as long as the frequencies are compatible ie.. no Airband? - don't try forcing it to a radio that can't receive it. The import will fail.

Re: Baofeng UV-5RM Plus help with resetting

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

The seller did contact me pretty quickly last night, but I did get it solved before that with an internet search and some trial and error.? The internet told me that the default Baofeng password is 000000, the trial and error was that you need to hit the menu button after typing in the password.

The power on resets I found online didn't work with this model.

So, if you get a used Baofeng with a password on it, try 000000 MENU to see if that unlocks.

I would never have a reason to password protect my Baofeng but I suppose some others might have need to.

Baofeng UV-5RM Plus help with resetting

I purchased a refurbished Baofeng UV-5RM Plug off of Amazon and it finally arrived today after UPS misplacing it for a week.? It looks in good shape but is password protected when I turn it on. The seller didn't provide the password.? Amazon has sent them a message but I wondering if there is a way to do a power on reset which will reset the radio when I don't have a password.??

Anyone know how to do this?

Re: Programming software communication issue

 

Thanks, Don.
?
I had previously looked at a Win 10 laptop and saw;
?
?
$15 & tax to upgrade to Wun 11 Pro 64 bit.
?
I asked the vendor I ended up using, which SAID it was Win 11 etc. and if there was not a way to avoid returning the Win 10 they erroneously sent. I was offered $30 and accepted.?
?
Now I see $99 and $159 and wonder if I stumbled onto a shyster. They do promise a key. They did return my $17, no questions asked.
?
A small aside; I ordered an external player to install some older software. I'm old school and like hard copies. That said, I have been out of the game and have forgotten entirely too much. I FEEL like I went from Win 3.1 through the gambit to Win 2000 in 5 years!

Sorry this us not all BAOFENG!!!

I downloaded the Baofeng_DM-1701_CPS_1.05 archive from their official site, but only the programming software "CPS? DM-1701 V1.05" is inside and not the firmware update tool and the firmware itself.

I can't find any official DM-1701 firmware or firmware update tools on the internet.


Re: Programming software communication issue

 

That uses an older Prolific driver that doesn't check for a fake
Prolific chip or an older one that they no longer support. It works,
so no reason to buy a different cable.
