Programming Radioddity DB25-G

[WSGM532]

CHIRP states it is capable of programming the Radioddity DB25-G. However. I have had no success in doing this. Has anyone had success and how did you do it? TIA

I use CHIRP to program my Radioddity DB25-G without any problems.
What are you having trouble with? .. just  connecting and reading the radio... or have you been able to read it into CHIRP but not update it?

define your problem with a bit more for us to go on.

I agree with TrikeRadio, I have two DB-25G's and use Chirp, exclusively, to program them with not a single problem. One nice feature of the DB-25G is during up and down loads it gives visual indication of its progress so you can see it begin, progress and finish.

Only thing I can think might be problem, only because I've done it, is accidently plugging the programming cable into the HEADPHONE socket next to the identifically sized DATA socket. The DATA socket is silver and the one closest to the fan.

Check your Device Manager to make sure that the cable is recognized and that the appropriate port is selected in Chirp. If your Device Manager shows a "yellow" symbol for a specific port than you may need to load the FTDI driver so the computer recognizes the cable.

Also, try using the Radioddity programming software for that radio. You may not experience the problems you're experiencing by using the factory programming software.

I like the DB-25G concept, but I don’t recommend them. I have had 3 and all had some kind of issue/bug. I kept the least broken one with the closest power output to the advertised specs. I am thankful for Amazon’s easy returns/exchanges.

The provided cables require old drivers (that Windows 11 constantly overrides). One of the units I returned would not work with CHIRP with their cable or a better quality BTECH cable. Around the time I was having that issue another user on here had the same problem. I think there is a bad batch out there.

What have you tried?  What is giving the issue?   Might wanna lay it all out so people can help better.   
 

my opinion with all the new posts every week it seams about radioddity radios send it back and buy a good radio that doesn’t have issues.
