Hello All,
I'm kind of new to DMR and the programming frustrations it presents... however, I'm sure that there are many out there that have figured it out. Here's what I know: Received the MD-380 and proceeded to get familiar with it and it's bizarre programming software. Poured through dozens of web sites to educate myself on as much as I could. Yep, still learning. The radio is currently sitting at MD380Tools Ver. 2017-01-24 and CP Ver. V.01.30 courtesy of M1GEO. I have been able to bounce its firmware up and down through different levels so that tells me the communication to the radio from my PC is working. And there are no errors in device manager and I see the "STU Device in DFU Mode" so all seems to be well there. My problem is when I try to load a code plug into the radio. All the info looks good in CPS 1.32 including putting in my Call and DMARC identifier. It appears that it is writing to the radio with the slow progress bar moving to the right and the typical Chinese dialogue box that comes up with an "OK" button to press. And when it reboots, the screen shows Channel 1 Zone 1 just like it came out of the box. The code plug was written for the MD-380 so that should rule out the incompatibility issue of using the wrong code plug for a different radio.
I could definitely use some wisdom from the masses
Thanks
Paul
