I did get the radio with the cable from them. Happy end of 2020!! On the cable side of things I have tried a couple of things. Defying all logic, you must click the OK button to make it actually read the data.įunny thing is that I fussed for over an hour before I figured out I had to click “OK” to get the download started on my TYT radio. A screen will appear that says “Read data from radio” but it hasn’t done it yet. Click the “Read” button to the right of the “Save” button on the toolbar. You should see a new device detected in the “Universal Serial Bus controllers” section called “No Printer Attached”. Plug in your programming cable to your radio first, then plug it in to the computer’s USB port.There are other tips on the Baofeng DMX thread about the programming cable. Have you tried other DMR programming cables? Once you get the correct port set up, I have found that TYT and Radioditty DMR cables work on either DMR radio. Could they have sold you the wrong cable? The programming cable for DMR is just a simple pass-through cable.

Is the cable specifically marked for the DMR? The analog cables have the chip in the cable itself (usually listed as a Prolific or FTDI chip) but the DMR radios have a chip in the radio itself. Simple question, and probably not the problem but are you certain you have the correct cable? There are many variations of programming cables, and the ones for analog radios will not work with DMR radios. The 1702 and a couple of others all use similar CPS versions - daft really, but how it is. I’d certainly try every computer you can get access to - and I bet you’ll find they’ll work. He returned both, which read perfectly well on my computers.

One customer thought he’d bricked the radio and tried new firmware and all sorts of internet suggestions but I supplied another radio and it was the same. The CPS for one popular radio has been known to totally refuse to work with one Windows install, and the solution was to use a totally wrong CPS, which read it and can write to it. Sometimes one install of Windows 10 will constantly replace the correct driver with a non-functioning one it determines is the right one, despite you saying it’s not.

Windows has a habit of really getting confused, and if it thinks the interface is a printer, it’s certainly confused. For my radio programming I have got quite used to X working on one computer with another working only on a different one. I’ve never yet found a faulty radio - but the USB interface is endlessly random in success. The first thing to do is to try it on as many computers as you can. It’s almost certainly Windows doing it’s thing.
