Love The Humor: RETIRED FUNERAL CELEBRANT, I Guess That I can Be Classified as One as Well..Thank you for the Redit link which has some "Information".

Yes The Chirp 17ProGPS works as well but You Need to play the 100 per chunk zone "Dance" if you want the Zone Feature to Work. My Main Interest Was to Discover IF the UV-32 has some Hidden Engineering Settings Like the DM-32 Version Has,as Disclosed By the RU Site which worked correctly enhance the DM-32's overall "Ham"Operation , BTW I still have MY (3) "Original" UV-5's Before the FCC Lock Down and I do Enjoy Them Still with the Extended Battery packs. I Will Enjoy Bringing The UV-32 In Its APX-7000 Holder To the Next "Batwing" Group Meeting!
Again Many Thanks 73's Steve AB2ET/4

Re: Dm32uv won't change from Chinese
I was also able to change the language using the CPS and then writing to the radio.?
Many thanks for all your help everyone, Colin has done it and I think I have the set back to normal.?

Hugh FWIW, that thread is fairly current. There are several posts in there that are less than a month old, one only 11 days ago, so you might work your way into the subject and see if you can learn something there. I only have one Baofeng, a UV-5R. It's a "legacy" model before they made changes mandated by the FCC to prevent using it out of band, as I understand it. All I know for sure is that it works, it programs easily in CHIRP (and/or RT Systems), etc. Donald KX8K ---------------------------------------------------- Some ham radio groups you may be interested in: /g/ICOM /g/Ham-Antennas/g/HamRadioHelp /g/Baofeng/g/CHIRP

Re: Dm32uv won't change from Chinese
Many thanks for all your help Colin, I'll try it tomorrow as I'm out tonight, Just a quick question, do I put the radio into software mode by pressing the transmit and the button below as I turn on the radio (green led lights) to load the code plug or just upload from the cp dmr V1.28 desktop program as I tried before I messed it up trying to load the UK repeater csi file? Sorry to be a pain
Many thanks Martin

Re: Dm32uv won't change from Chinese
I saw the photos but the only one i recognised was the blue cog icon, that is the settings, ?the only thing i can suggest is to load a codeplug into the Dm32 software, then go to the option feature on the left of the software, then the tab called other, click that, change the language to English there, then write to the radio.
?
I have uploaded the original codeplug from the radios that is installed when you receive them to wetransfer the link is here write this to the radio and see if it will switch the language back to english, this link will only last 3 days.

Re: Dm32uv won't change from Chinese
to change language hit menu, then come down to settings (6th one down)? then radio settings, (number 1)come down to number 3 (display function) , then down to number 11 (language) then choose the bottom on of the 2 options.

Dm32uv won't change from Chinese
My New dm32uv was fine when I got it yesterday until I tried to upload the uk repeater list CSI file on the baufeng program. It's now stuck in Chinese language and won't do anything, I've tried a firmware upgrade, which it did ok but it's still stuck in Chinese and won't do anything. Can I do a factory reset to start completely afresh. Thanks Martin?

I sent the radio back to R&L electronics
So let¡¯s see what happens now I definitely don¡¯t want that model anymore?
I'm having problems, too. I posted a message but it's being held up due to "first post" moderation.?
?
The manual tells me to go to menu settings that don't exist in my radio.?
?
I even tried to RESET TO FACTORY settings but the menu items aren't there.?

That¡¯s what i currently have and I have been having issues with it, first radio the screen went out, got a replacement from R&L and the microphone does not work on the replacement radio, but the earphones with mic works well.

So Guy Hill 31083 would have RX / TX in the right spots, then I would select 31083 from my talkgroup list (if it is not one downloaded from Brandmeister- because it is a regional talkgroup and may not be in their list, you simply add it yourself BEFORE programming the channel). You select 31083 from the 'Talkgroup' drop down to direct the channel to the correct talkgroup. You will select CC 1 and then TS 1 for this channel (since the repeater has it set for TS 1- each repeater can do it however they want so there is no standard that I know of). Then you will select your appropriate Zone you want it in and the Scan list you want it in. DMR relies on these keys things being correct: TS / CC / Zone / Talkgroup / Group List / Scan List.

I bought a Baofeng DM-1701 on Aliexpress.
?
It probably was a mistake because the manual tells me to go to menu settings that don't exist.?
?
The last try was to do a Factory Reset, this is what I found:
?
To perform a FULL Reset
?
1.Turn on the radio and press the MENU button.
?
2.Press the UP and DOWN arrow key to select RESET
?
(Menu Item 40).
?
3.Press MENU to choose RESET.
?
4.Press the DOWN arrow key to choose ALL.
?
5.Press MENU. The radio will display SOURCE?
?
6.Press MENU to confirm. The radio will displav WAIT...
?
for a few
?
seconds, then beep twice to confirm reset is complete. 7.The radio will revert to Chinese language mode. Reset is complete.
?
To set lanquage from Chinese to English
?
1.Press MENU.

2.Press the UP and DOWN arrow key to select VOICE

There's no Menu Item 40.

CP Version V01.05

?
Also I bought a Baofeng DM-1701 that included a USB cable but the cable wasn't packed with my order.

I read that this radio is completely different than an analog radio, I am up for that challenge, but when the instruction manual tells me how to do something and the menu isn't what I see, I know I have a problem.?

1702 or¡. Re: [Baofeng] Baofeng DM-1701
I just went through this.
Got a DM 1702 (instead of 1701 )on a recommendation for FM digital.
|
Very VERY hard to CPS code plug program the 1702. ?
Frustrated i broke down and got an Anytone D168uv.
Much much easier to use and CPS program code plugs and update plugs for D168uv.
Both work great with OpenSpot4Pro for cross-mode work (DMR to Fusion, etc.)¡.. but the 168 much easier to use analog or digital.
Just saying ¡. IMHO,
My recent January 2025 experiences.

As you are programming the channels, you will need to select the scan list you want each channel in (it doesn't covert right on the excel, so you do do this manually) 13. When programming a DMR channel you need several pieces of key info.? Let's say I am in Colorado and want to program the Brandmeister Guy Hill Repeater into my DM 1701, this is the info I see on the website. This repeater gives me access to 3 different talkgroups: 31083, 310847, 310894. The CC or Color Code is 1. 31083/310847 is TS1 or Time Slot 1, 310894 is TS2 or Time Slot 2.
In the channel for Guy Hill DMR... I need to program 3 different Guy Hill DMR channels, once for each talkgroup. So Guy Hill 31083 would have RX / TX in the right spots, then I would select 31083 from my talkgroup list (if it is not one downloaded from Brandmeister- because it is a regional talkgroup and may not be in their list, you simply add it yourself BEFORE programming the channel). You select 31083 from the 'Talkgroup' drop down to direct the channel to the correct talkgroup. You will select CC 1 and then TS 1 for this channel (since the repeater has it set for TS 1- each repeater can do it however they want so there is no standard that I know of). Then you will select your appropriate Zone you want it in and the Scan list you want it in. DMR relies on these keys things being correct: TS / CC / Zone / Talkgroup / Group List / Scan List.
I gave you a lot so I hope it helps and is not too overwhelming. Feel free to shoot me an email if you need help.

I bought a Baofeng DM-1701 on Aliexpress.
?
It probably was a mistake because the manual tells me to go to menu settings that don't exist.?
?
The last try was to do a Factory Reset, this is what I found:
?
To perform a FULL Reset
?
1.Turn on the radio and press the MENU button.
?
2.Press the UP and DOWN arrow key to select RESET
?
(Menu Item 40).
?
3.Press MENU to choose RESET.
?
4.Press the DOWN arrow key to choose ALL.
?
5.Press MENU. The radio will display SOURCE?
?
6.Press MENU to confirm. The radio will displav WAIT...
?
for a few
?
seconds, then beep twice to confirm reset is complete. 7.The radio will revert to Chinese language mode. Reset is complete.
?
To set lanquage from Chinese to English
?
1.Press MENU.
?
2.Press the UP and DOWN arrow key to select VOICE
?
(Menu Item 14).
?
3.Press MENU to choose VOICE.
?
There's no Menu Item 40.
?
Under Radio Settings,? I find:
?
Firmware Version 002.006
CP Version V01.05
?
Something is terribly wrong.?
?
Also I bought a Baofeng DM-1701 that included a USB cable but the cable wasn't packed with my order.
?
I read that this radio is completely different than an analog radio, I am up for that challenge, but when the instruction manual tells me how to do something and the menu isn't what I see, I know I have a problem.?
?
Any thoughts on this?

The DM 1701 is a good DMR radio. It works perfectly fine with he stock OS, which is what I use. It is best to program the radio using the CPS (software). Go here:? for the manual, programming guide and programming software. You will need a specific cable to program it, not the cable with the chip in it, like you use for other baofengs. You need this cable:??.?
There are several places that you can download existing DM 1701 codeplugs (which is the term for DMR programs). You can use the codeplug sample as your baseline.?
With the DM 1701 (which is my EDC radio), you need several things for DMR to work.? 1. Radioid.net DMR #? 2. Decide what server you will use (I use Brandmeister, which is the most common). I suggest looking at the local dmr repeaters and using what they use, or you can't connect 3. Download the contacts csv file from Radioid.net (this is the digital contacts list of the other dmr users so they show up in your radio). You cap at 120,000 so you need to chose which to include. 4. Download the list of talkgroups from Brandmeister. I suggest you load them onto an excel and get rid of talkgroups you won't use. I deleted the south america/middle east/europe ones.? 5. load the Talkgroup list into your cps 6. load the contacts.csv file into the cps 7. create several zones that you will program your channels into. EX: Primary / GMRS / EmCOMM / Roaming / Camping / DMR Simplex / DMR HotSpot (just depends what you want) 8. create scan lists that relate to the zones you are going to use. EX: Primary / GMRS / EmCOMM / Roaming / Camping, etc 9. create group lists (you will group your talkgroups into group lists related to however you want. EX: US / US WEST / US EAST / UK-Canada / ETC 10. Program your channels (no you can use pre-existing Analog excel files that you might have extracted from CHIRP, BUT you WILL need to modify the Chirp excel to fit the DM 1701 format- You do this by: 1. extract channels from DM 1701 within the CPS (this will give you the format to put them in). 2. extract channels in chirp for the radio you have that does work 3. copy column by column from excel #2 into the formatted excel #1. This is time consuming..but A LOT faster than retyping ALL of your channels. 4. import the new formatted excel into your channels 10. Go back into your zones and select the channels you want in each zone from your list of channels on the radio 11. As you are programming the channels, you will need to select the scan list you want each channel in (it doesn't covert right on the excel, so you do do this manually) 13.
