• 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.

Baofeng Btech 6x2 DMR freeze

I have a Btech 6x2 and occasionally it gets stuck in receive mode on a local DMR station for our local gold cross. When it gets stuck it freezes the whole radio and the only way to get out is pulling the battery since turning the knob off does nothing. Ive set the disable ack option for the channel and made sure roaming is disabled. Any other things i can do to prevent this from happening?

Something might be corrupted. Three options to try:
1. Save your codeplug. Wipe the radio (MCU Reset). Reload the codeplug.
2. Export all of your settings to CSV files, wipe the radio, read it, and then import your settings.
3. Contact tech support.

One thing i saw to try is reflash the latest baseband update. I didn't do that when i updated firmware since it was already on that version but i read it may help.

Just an update, radioddity sent me a new one which works ok. Since i ended up getting the Btech 6x2 i should've got in the first place im using the gd-77 with the community firmware and using in hotspot mode with pistar. Its working awesome that way and its still available as a backup.
