- Have VFO A on an analog frequency or memory. NOT a DMR frequency
- Have the volume knob set to 50%
- Use 115200 Baud on the COM port
- Select your COM port in the CPS settings
- Go to Program(P) then “Read data”
- Select the “Digital Contacts” radio box (shown as “?????” in CPS 1.45) and then click the left button which is “Read” (in CPS 1.45 just shows as “??”)
- There is a progress bar and it should show the reading progress. A pop-up will appear when the reading of the radio is complete.
- Save your codeplug before modifying it so you can revert back to a vanilla codeplug
To write to the Radio:
- Save the codeplug
- Select Write from the Program(P) menu
- Check the ???? radio box if you want to upload your digital contacts
- Click the left button labeled ?? in CPS 1.45
- A progress bar will move from 0 to 100%
- A pop-up window will appear when done and you can close it
- The radio will reboot
- You can unplug the programming cable now
- I usually turn the radio off and back on but you don’t have to
And that’s it. Pretty simple, but also confusing.
