Zastone DP880 Programming

[jcop225]

I came across the Zastone DP880 online today. It seems like a okay starter radio for DMR since the price is so low.

I am, however, unable to find any information on the programming software or interface for this radio. I imagine that it can be programmed by CHIRP or another .CSV utility, like many of the cheap import radios. The connector is a mystery though, in all the pictures the accessory jack is covered by a dust shield.

Does anyone have any insight/experience programming these radios? Any more detail on the accessory jack?

The software is far more complex than FM analog radios, and not CHIRP compatible. Without software, it is almost unusable, even if it has FPP.

Software link

Here's a link to a page that shows a download of the programming software for the Zastone DP880.
I don't have this radio, so I didn't download the software.

I have and use this radio. I have a codeplug for the Dallas / Ft Worth area that I can send you, if you want. You're probably in a different area, but you can use the contacts list and then change the repeaters and talkgroups to whatever you want.

This is a good radio, it is basically a Kirisun TP660 with a few less features. The FCC ID# on the back of the radio points to a Kirisun ID, as Zastone is owned by Kirisun. So this radio, for the price, is a fantastic deal.

Does anyone know if this radio can be programmed to receive in the 500-512 MHz range?
Thanks

No. The range is 400 to 470 MHz.
