Radioddity HELP programming RD-5R Radioddity/BaoFeng HT

[ab5r]

I am attempting to program a Radiodity/Baofeng RD-5R radio using Version 1.0.0.4 software from Radioddity. I have AABREE programming cable and included CD.

The including disk does not include instructions - OR - any reference to the DR-5R setup listed.

When I attempt to READ from the radio using the cable and software, it does not "find" the radio. I cannot find detailed instructions online to program the radio.

Any help will be appreciated!!!

FYI I am only interested in Ham frequencies not DMR.

Regards,
Jerry AB5R

You might need to tell the software what COMM port to use.

Good idea. I'll try that. The software selected 4,5 or 6, but maybe I can change to another.

Thanks

When you plug in the USB cable to your computer, go into the Device Manager and look for Com ports. The USB will be assigned a specific COMM port number.

Actually its simpler than that. Once you install the software on the PC... Turn off radio, plug usb cable in PC. Plug into radio. Turn on radio and up volume to about halfway. The Pc should then automatically recognize it, as should the CPS.

Also you want analog ham, as there is huge ham DMR now.

Well guys, I guess that I am snakebit. The Device Mgr. says Comm. port 6. "Milf", I tried the sequence that you suggested & no joy.

I notice in the "setupini" file, originally when I installed the software, it had comm port 1. I have changed that file to 6 now, but no help. Perhaps, if I reinstall the software & change that INI to comm port 6 it will be happy??

Still No Joy. Device not found.
Thanks for your help. I suspect it is a Comm Port issue too, But, now that I know to change the software.
