The Australian APX holster fits the DM32 perfectly too!

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Andreas, M0FXB in his videos of the UV32, that it may Not be receiving Airband on AM but in fact FM. Have you noticed if it has AM modulation on Airband ?
I tried, in the software, to increase the receive limits above 470MHz. I couldn't get it to work.
I opened up the Tool/Embedded Information menu. The password is 374612. A screen pops up that allows you to adjust frequency ranges, among other things. I changed the ranges and clicked the "write" button. The window indicated that the write was successful, but nothing changed in the radio.
Thanks for your help.
I did the same thing, but didn't have a radio to test it on. I guess that I won't be buying that one.
It works well on my Radioddity GD-77, Retevis RT-3S & Baofeng RD-5R.
I like to have the extended frequency range, so that I don't have to carry around multiple radios.
Also, the reception in these radios is far better than any scanner that I own. I was hoping that the DM-32UV would be the same.

DM-32, the DMR version.
I gave it a try on the UV-32 and it took 490 and 512 and uploaded to the radio. I used CHIRP. For some reason, the B'feng SW stopped reading the radio.
I am getting aviation in AM but only up to 135.995 - after that it says it's not AM.
CHIRP won't work on the DM-32, only the UV-32.
Last I checked, CHIRP only works on analog radios.
I just ordered one and I’m happy to hear it will work with CHIRP, although I hear to access all the frequency banks you must use the original CPS.
I searched for a programming cable and no one lists the UV-32 for compatibility. Can you tell me or provide a link to what cable you are using with the UV-32 and CHIRP please? Many thanks! Joe
You don't HAVE to use the CPS to access the banks, just to name them. The Banks are every 100 channels (1-100, 101-200, 201-300 and so one up to 901-1000). Even though you name the bank, the screen on the UV-32 will show Bank #. Just wish there was a way to change it to show the bank name.
One other thing I would like is to find a way to lock out a specific channel in a scan list without having to delete it. Scan rate is about 2-4 channels per second and I believe it will hold on channel for about 2 seconds.
I've got the Baofeng programming cable that I used on other radios. Works great. Baofeng Programming Cable - Amazon
I've also ordered a remote mic (Retevis) to uses with my earphone. Retevis Speaker Mic - Amazon

I have the Baofeng UV-32 and ordered the US version of the APX 8000 plastic hard case and it does not fit. Would you please provide a link to the Australian holder that fits the DM32 (same as the UV-32)?

more info here , cps and firmware
I picked up a DM-32 and UV-32 to keep around for monitoring rather than talking (I have Harris and Kenwood radios for that at work) ... while I have found the UV-32 easy to set up for scanning, I can't seem to figure out how to get the Scan Bank to scan. I push the button I set up for scanning, and it switches to the Scan Bank I have selected ... or at least it says it is now scanning that bank, as that is the text that appears below the channel, not the name of the zone I was in before selecting scan ... but the channel continues to show as the channel from the zone I was already in and doesn't show any scanning occurring. After an hour of trying this, only the channel selected in the zone (not the scan bank) receives.
Suggestions?

I'm still a bit of a noob to configuring DMR radios and learning the ropes. I bought a DM32 specifically because of the airband and 480MHz and to try to keep up with some digital tech. Being able to monitor the local CTAF while using UHF CB 477MHz FM is a really big selling point for hang glider pilots.
Being able to TX Airband would be a killer sales point to as sport pilots are being forced to carry VHF and make calls. There is also a good linked repeater amateur network in my area which is also really handy for ham pilots when they are on the ground and European pilots often use VHF FM for their ground chatter. It really needs that 480MHz enabled.
I also have a bit of curiosity in seeing how well DMR will work with UHF CB.
I've had a couple of goes at configuring the DM32 with the default Baofeng software but it won't even set >470MHz RX on my radio.
It's early days and I haven't tried any special password protected configurations yet. (Just learning about them now).
I would love to think this is just a firmware upgrade to fix it. My Radio appears to have v40 in it.
I'll try the embedded menu and probably sift through the firmware binary to see if I can reverse engineer anything out of it and hopefully not brick the radio.

Keep in mind it's a Ham talkie, Not a commercial or a Navcom radio. And UHF Cb as it used to be called is Not on 477 mhz. unless you're Not in the US , Now known as GMRS does Not use Dmr. Only Analog FM. At least if you brick it, you didn't blow a wad of cash on it.

UHF CB is on 476-477 MHz in Australia and New Zealand.

Ahh, there we go. He didn't tell us this.
What? You mean the PMLN7732A? Happen to have a photo?
