Programming software communication issue
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi all. I purchased a baofeng a couple of years ago as a backup to my Anytone. I wanted to add some frequencies to it this week, which I haven¡¯t done in a couple of years, and it won¡¯t communicate with my windows PC. It used to work fine with the programming software. The only thing that has changed is my computer has had Window updates over the years and now running Windows 10. I saw some info about old divers or cables not working on newer Window versions? Any thought on fix? Brian W2BRM |
Re: Removal of offline symbol DM-1701
Thanks for the response Don, I cant find anything in the manual or online about it, all it says is that it indicates the channel is offline, the cps does not give any clues either, it does change but only when you put a negative or positive offset in the channel info, the blue arrow, the minus and the plus symbol, i'll have a look and see if its something staring me in the face, It's strange as it's only this one frequency, I double and treble checked the slot and colour code and I also get the same info on receiving that frequency on my whistler TRX2, as i say its a weird one because if i program the channel as simplex the blue arrow appears and if i TX the scanner receives it and i can hear, but i can hear a response on my scanner and the 1701 green led lights up but no sound from the 1701. these things are sent to try us,,lol

Re: Removal of offline symbol DM-1701
Colin,
Sorry no one has replied to this. Probably there is no one here who has that radio or, if they have it, they don't know how to do what you're asking to do. On my Anytone, I don't know how the DMR works. I am using a code plug made by my brother, who understands these things, but I would have no way of knowing how to change anything except on FM only channels. It's a shame that DMR and D-Star weren't made to be much simpler to set up. Once set up, it's not all that difficult to operate. Well, D-Star is a bit more complicated than DMR, I think, to operate once it's set up.

Baofeng UV-18 Pro Max GPS Air Band Horrible RX
I have UV-18 Pro Max GPS I am convinced it is genuine, color screen, large numbers, deep voice in the menu with the ability to create zones in memory is the correct radio. But I am disappointed because the AM (Wide) Air Band mode sounds Horrible, hoarse, saturated, strong signals are heard saturated, almost nothing is understood. I really like the style of this radio. I have the UV-17 Pro GPS, reception is completely understandable, crystal sound is received very nice in AM mode. I imagined that having so much similarity in terms of firmware (when both radios are turned on, the screen looks like two drops of water) that it would have the same reception but that is not the case. Any comments are welcome.

Removal of offline symbol DM-1701
Hi, I'm struggling with turning off the offline symbol on the 1701, its that little blue arrow at the top right of the screen on the right of the encryption icon, Reason i ask is because i programmed a frequency into the radio, the slot was correct and the colour code was correct, but although i can see activity on the screen i cannot hear anything, the weird part is, if i change the tx frequency and leave the rx frequency on the channel i want to hear, then i can hear the chat, doing that also makes the blue arrow icon change to a minus, I take it because the radio channel is now set as a repeater style one, I just want to turn off the offline icon so i can talk on the channel as well, so wanted to know how to do it, i have looked in all the radio settings and in the CPS settings and there is nothing i can see,, any help appreciated.

Re: Baofeng UV18 Pro Max Wont Power Off
Hi Phil,? Just googled your radio and found a utube comparison between UV18PROMAX, UV17 GPS and 1 other. The interesting bit was just before 10.00 minutes he was talking about in the settings - screen there is a setting , " always on ". ?I'll try and find the link to it for you. Not sure if it only applys to the screen.? Bob On Tue, 16 Jan 2024, 23:58 Phil Nicholson, <philnic100@...> wrote:

Radioddity GC-5
BTW: Happy New Year To All On The Group.
Unlike the Baofeng UF-17 which has a a Unofficial "CPS Unofficial Build 124j" which make it a good workable radio the(Sister like) Radioddity GC-5 has Many shortcomings (like Its LOCKED) It Looks Like it will become another Radioddity Orphan Radio unlike the Radiodiity GD-77 which has a fantastic support and Freeware firmware that make it a Fun DMR/Analog radio. Unlike the UF-17,I have Searched and Found No "Build" that would firstly Open Up the GC-5 and? clean up the "foibles" Any one on the group have any Information on this Radio and any "Unofficial" Builds? Best Regards. Steve AB2ET? ? |
GM-15 PRO
Hey everyone!
I've got a booger that I haven't been able to figure out on my own.? I'm working with a friends GM-15 pro and immediately found out that it is not supported for programming by either Baofeng or CHIRP.? I did download the software recommended from Radiocity for their GM-30 model. It seems to be working fairly well, but the info I'm using (which worked in my UV-9R Pro doesn't seem to be translating across for some reason.? I can listen to all four channels but cant transmit on any of them. Side issue on my 9r I can't transmit on channel 3 because there's no alternate to D450N if anyone has a workaround for that. I will attach pics of the channels and the way it is set up.? The original frequency information was pulled from a Kenwood TK-3200. There are really only two frequencies separated by different DTCS codes.? I can't see what I've missed but I'm hoping yall can! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Re: Baofeng DM-1701 display colour
I don't see what Donald, the software from the radioddity site is the baofeng firmware, I'm? not sure why it's on the radioddity site though, even going to baofengs site gives you the exact same firmware, I did think maybe it could be remnants of the GD77 firmware remaining in the radio that wasn't cleared or over written, but thats just an assumption, maybe if i reflashed the radio back to GD77, changed the colour and then flashed it back to the original baofeng firmware may do something, It's just a thought, I may give it a try if I cannot find a solution, as I said, the radios work fine, it's just the colour. lol

Is it possible that the Baofeng has something different inside from the Radioddity radio so that the firmware can't support what you're wanting from the radio?

Baofeng DM-1701 display colour
Hi, I bought a couple of 1701's and when they arrived they had the open GD77 firmware in them, I got the 1701 original firmware from the radioddity site, firmware v2.03, now flashing the radio back to standard the display is not the normal blue, the Baofeng name on turn on is red, so is the menu icon and the icon on the right with the speaker and x, the background is a yellow colour, There does not seem to be any issues with it but i would like the colour like my other radios, (back to blue) Can anyone throw any light on it as i've looked in the programming software and in the firmware software .ini file to see if there is a setting to alter the display colour, but i cannot find anything.
Thanks |

Thanks.
The software works!
I didn't know there were other programs beside Chirp to program these radios, but I assume the Chinese must set them up somehow - I saw lots of Baofengs being used at building sites when I was over there.
Cheers,
Peter - VK2AN
