Re: [chirp_users] Chirp and DM-5R Programming
John, et alia:
Well, I do understand Chirp not supporting DMR radios. I mean, obviously it could but if it does not, so be it. However, your comment about DM-5R radios using a different Baofeng cable is quite interesting! How can I tell (other than just seeing it does not read the radio) if a potential Beofeng cable is the proper one for a DM-5R (say I see it at a hamfest)? I'm on my 4th or 5th Beofeng cable I've purchased and still have none to program this radio! Can I make one? Where can I get one?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Stuart,
With most DMR radios (at least all the ones I have), the UART chip is built into the radio itself. The programming cable must not have a USB-to-TTL chip like a conventional programming cable for an analog only radio.
You should be able to get one of these programming cables from just about anyone that sells DMR radios. This page has one from Baofeng Tech.
https://baofengtech.com/accessories#tabs-4
Both ebay and Amazon have them. So depending on how fast you want one you will be spending anywhere from $5 to $20 or thereabouts.
The programming cable that I use with my BTech DMR-6X2 and AnyTone AT-D868UV came with my TYT/Tytera MD-380.

not sure about the dmr baofengs, but the other dmr radios like tyt and anytones dont have a converter in usb lead, just straight thru.
i have made several by butchering old leads and using a 2.5mm stereo and 3.5mm stereo plugs. http://md380.blogspot.com/2015/06/tytera-md380-usb-to-cable-pinout-diagram.h...

As the two cable Look basically identical, search for a programming cable for an RD-5R, DM-5R, DM-1701 or DM-1801. These are all compatible with the radio DM-5R. John K3NXU
