Abbree AR-2520 Software?

[mfn002]

Does anyone know where I can find the software for the Abbree AR-2520? I looked online and the Abbree website does not seem to have it.

 

[mfn002]

Disregard. The seller sent me a copy of the software.

Hi,

Just got one of the Abbree AR-2520 radios yesterday. Please could you let me know what the CPS software is called so I can try and track it down? Seems quite a nice radio with good audio. Have emailed the seller but no reply yet.

Many thanks
Simon

Hi Simon could you send me a picture of the rj45 end of the programming cable so I can make up a wiring diagram for myself and post it for othe members thanks

Here we fix the fan issue on the Abbree AR-2520 by updating to the latest firmware.

Mic pinout:

1 Brown PTT
2 Red +8V input to 3V3 IC
3 Yellow GND digital
4 Green TX
5 Black GND audio
6 White Mic
7 Gray RX
8 Blue SPK

If you want to send, connect pin 1 to GND.
PTT2 button goes on the 5th leg of the integrated circuit

no matter what I try, I always get "communication error"

 

[Hannes_Seppl]

I use the AR-2520 V1
Plus the original cable
The cable is recognized by the PC and assigned to COM port 6.
When I select the COM port in the software and want to read or write, I always get the message "communication error".
I have also tried other converters. With these I have sacrificed a network cable and connected pin 3 to GND, pin 4 to TX+ and PIN 7 to TX-. I swapped pin 4 & pin 7.
But no matter what I try, it doesn't work.
There seems to be no handshake between the radio and the PC.

What pc? Only ever worked on windows for me tried it on Linux and had the same problem , have a look on YouTube for Tech-Minds ABBREE ar2520 he tells you exactly how to do it and when to have the radio on or off plus there's a firmware update too

 

[Hannes_Seppl]

Thanks for the quick reply.
I am using a Windows PC.
It looks like my radio already has the latest firmware. But even an attempt to update the firmware like TechMinds failed.
How did you solve the problem? Was it solved by the fact that you are using a Windows PC?

 

[Hannes_Seppl]

It all looks so simple in the video from Tech-Minds.
I was under the impression that the device being switched on or off was only relevant when updating the firmware. But I will watch the programming video again and make sure I haven't overlooked any important steps.

 

[raymieboy55]

Yeah changing pc solved my issue, I used a butchered baofeng programming cable at first. also try updating drivers

 

[Hannes_Seppl]

I must have had a bad data cable.
I crimped an RJ45 plug onto a cheap Baofeng cable and it works!

 

[Hannes_Seppl]

The colors of my Baofeng cable are
blue = GND = crimped to pin 3
red = TX = crimped to pin 4
yellow = RX = crimped to Pin 7

 

[raymieboy55]

Excellent mate glad you got it sorted as it's a pain having to program repeaters in manually

Mine seems bricked after running the software and adding memory channels.
Is there a reset?
