Having fought my way through a lot of this, I hope to give some guidance here to help others have less of an issue programming their RD-5R. What it doesn’t cover well is explaining what each of the elements that you have to program means in lay-man terms and more importantly, the inter-relationship of the items in the configuration.

The “CPS” customer programming software is well documented within the program itself by the use of “hover over” and lower screen descriptions.

NOTE: this detection and installation by Windows 10 can take up to 15 minutes, so be patient!
#Dmr programming group list install#
The CPS is a normal Windows install executable and the HT does NOT need any drivers as the chipset within the HT is an OEM defined device which Windows recognises as “MCU Mouse DEMO” as shown in the notifications screens.

The latest versions of the CPS software and firmware are downloadable for free from the Radioddity website. Despite that, its build quality and capabilities for the price are very good.
It was most definitely the cheapest DMR & analogue FM, Dual Band (2m / 70cm) 1W/5W HT on the market at the time. Two weeks later the price dropped to US$63 or €61 no matter where the unit was going to be used. When I bought my RD-5R in the middle of April 2018 they were available for US$75 in the US and Australia but if bought for use in Germany an additional US$30 was added to the price making it €90. Support and downloads (including the programming tool software) come from Radioddity rather than Baofeng. The main difference between the two is that the Baofeng RD-5R uses the Baofeng UV-5R case and is cheaper than the Radioddity GD-77. In fact, it appears that, while the “code plug” (a fancy way of saying configuration file) for the GD-77 is a slightly different file format from the one for the RD-5R, much of the electronics may be the same between the two HTs. Looking at the specs on the RD-5R however, it IS a Tier I and Tier II unit and is in fact designed not by Baofeng but by another Chinese company Radioddity whose GD-77 is known as a good DMR HT. I saw one report saying that some batches of the rig actually transmitted on BOTH time slots at the same time! Every way you look at it, a major failure from Baofeng. Their first attempt to get into the DMR market (both commercial and amateur) was the DM-5R, which while “conforming” to the DMR standards had one major failure, that it was only a Tier 1 device – that means it only transmitted on one of the two possible time slots that are available on just about every amateur repeater that is in service.
Whose “spectral quality” was not always the best. While there is now a SOTA “Talk Group” (973) (this TG Died through lack of supportive use!) set up on the Brandmeister DMR network (with links from Yaesu Fusion and in the future possibly D-Star), for use as a “backchannel” between activators and between activators and chasers, and while DMR repeaters are “popping up like mushrooms” around Europe, I decided it was time to replace my old dual-band Wouxon KG-UVD1P FM HT with a DMR+FM version HT. DMR has many, many features built into the hardware that are not used in the amateur implementations. Used both commercially and now more and more in the amateur radio world. ĭMR: Digital Mobile Radio – Digital voice on VHF and UHF. The times are changing! with Open-GD77 firmware from Roger Clark VK3KYY, the Baofeng RD-5R / DM5R tier2 / DM-1801 / DM-860 or Radioditty GD-77/S (TYT MD-760/730) is literally transformed into a user-friendly AMATEUR Class Handie Talkie.īefore you consider going through all the pains and tribulations documented below to get a factory standard DMR HT to so kind of useful amateur DMR device consider ( at your own risk of course ) looking into the great work Roger and his team has done with this (still expanding) firmware upgrade. So for a long time, the advantage of buying an ICOM or Yaesu DV HT was that they were designed for amateurs to use and for this (and the smaller market), these units were (and are) more expensive.
They were not primarily designed to be used as a multi-purpose radio where the user decides what the radio should do. The units would then go out into the work area and only come back when someone drove a truck over them or some other catastrophic accident happens to then. These radios were designed primarily for use by not technical people on Industrial sites, hence there may be one “Technical guy” back in the office who programs in the standard channels that they were licensed to use, but that would be all. All of what is written below is based on the DMR HT running using the firmware and concepts supplied ex-factory.
