TRRP

I bought the same radios. Programming is glitchy. Here is what I tried. First, I got the Radioddity Bluetooth dongle and used the Beta GM-30 software to program. It’s slow…you can one channel and it’s not a spreadsheet. It worked once or twice, but eventually I bricked the GM-15 pro’s using it. Returned to Amazon, and got another set. This time I got a cable, and downloaded after $25, the RTS software for the GM-15 pro. It’s pretty useless, and can’t set the DIY-channels that can be additional repeaters. So I then got the 2.3 version of the software for the Radioddity GM-30. I set every repeater I could in the DIY channels and all the local MURs and anything use I could find >channel 60 on the GM-15 Pro. It wrote to both radio. But they are now BRICKs again, I can’t read or write to them. However, I got a lot of stuff into it. I could try the hard reset, but that DID NOT WORK on the first set. So I guess I’m stuck with what’s in their brains. Essentially they are disposable. So my advise it to get the Radioddity GM-30 software for windows, read the GM-15 pro with it, fill up the shed with all info, and write, you may only get one shot at it.

So, I’ve no answer, just another question. How many repeater channels can one set up on the UV-5G PLUS? It’s really helpful to set up a lot if traveling, and have CPS pages for different States, or routes ready to load. Rubicon says that you can program it with CHIRP

No such luck. So I did an Amazon reorder and replace. The Beta refers to the Bluetooth dongle, that lists its software for the Radi oddity GM-30-Pro as beta….you use that to program the GM-15-Pro from Baofeng. Go figure? Chirp doesn’t work for either radio, but Baofeng has $25 dollar software for the GM-15-Pro, and Radioddity has free software for its GM-30-Pro, and both can be used to program the GM-15-Pro. (Just don’t upgrade the Firmware with the Radioddity software). I think that was my original problem.

Hi Folks, So I used it successfully to program two GM-30 (beta). Programmed one, saved the settings, and then cloned it onto another. However, I don’t seem to be able now re-read those new setting, or write the setting file that I saved (and wrote successfully one time to a GM-30 (beta). This sucks, because i had a lot of good frequencies and had took some time. If I try to re-read, it either hangs or gives and error. Also, if I try to write the old file, it gives and error, or hangs…However, if I write and earlier file (no problems) wait…I think i have to turn sync off….crap…let me try that.
