DMR.Tools is a new way to program certain TYT and Retevis radios such as the MD-380, MD-UV380, MD-2017 and clones of those radios.
\nRight now it's limited to Chrome or Chromium on Mac OS, Android, or Linux
\nIt is the only codeplug editor that can read, write, upgrade, and clone multiple radios simultaneously.
\nI intend to make it an advanced codeplug editing platform, capable of more than merely modifying channels.
\n(You can use it on other browsers and systems, but won't be able to use any features that communicate with the radio directly, so you may still need the OEM software to actually flash the codeplug or firmware)
\n\n Right now, only TYT (previously known as Tytera) MD-380, MD-2017,\n and MD-UV380 series radios. \n
\n\n This includes the following known rebranded or derivative radios:
\nThere are enough rebrands it's hard to keep track of them all,\n so please email me if you know of compatible radios

\n Linux users: You may need these udev rules to allow your user access to USB devices.\n
\n\n \"Edit codeplugs\" in the table above means just that - loading, creating, modifying, and saving the data files used to program your radio with channels and other settings.\n That's well supported in any modern browser, including mobile phones.\n
\n\n Programming it to your radio straight from the browser is a different\n matter, for technical\n reasons. \n
\n\n Windows is not supported for USB radio features for even more technical reasons.\n
\n\n In the meantime, you can still edit your codeplug with this website\n and flash it to the radio with the OEM software, Farnsworth's EditCP,\n or radio_tool.\n
\n {{error}}
\n\n Sorry! You'll have to read and write the radio using other tools, but you can still edit codeplugs using this website.\n
\n\n Direct USB communication with a radio requires Chrome, Chromium, or Opera\n browsers, running on Mac OS or Linux. \n
\n As far as my code can tell, your system is not supported.\n
\n\n It may be too old, not a supported configuration,\n or have WebUSB disabled. \n
\n If you believe it should work but doesn't, contact \n support [at] tarxvf.tech. \n
While the radio is off, connect your USB cable to your computer and MD-380, MD-2017, or MD-UV380 series radio.
\nTurn the radio on like normal.
\nTune the radio to a channel with no activity.
\nWhile the radio is off, connect your USB cable to your computer and MD-380, MD-2017, or MD-UV380 series radio.
\nTo boot the radio into the special bootloader mode, you'll need to hold a button combination while turning on the radio.
\nFor the MD-380 and MD-UV380, hold the PTT and the button directly above the PTT.
\nFor the MD-2017, hold the PTT and the orange button above the display.
\nYou'll know it worked if the Tx/Rx LED is alternating between red and green, for about half a second each.
\nNow press the \"Connect Radio(s)\" button at the top of this\n page. If you've already allowed the browser access to the radio,\n it will be immediately displayed on the page.
\n\nOtherwise, you will be prompted to allow the connection with\n a popup window. Select the radio from the list, and press the\n \"Connect\" button and it should appear on the page.
\n \n(On Android, you will have to allow access to each radio every time.)
\nIf the menu doesn't pop up at all, contact support [at] tarxvf.tech.
\n\nIf the menu pops up but your device isn't listed there, verify you\n are using a Tytera (not a baofeng!) cable, the radio is on,\n and both sides are firmly connected.
\nIf it still doesn't show up, contact support, give as much detail as possible, and we'll figure it out together.
\nYou're seeing this because you have not selected to edit a codeplug yet.
\nYou may upload a codeplug from your computer (supported all platforms), or read one from a radio directly using USB (Chrome/Chromium on Linux, Mac, Android only).
\nOnce you have a codeplug in the Codeplug List, click on it to open the codeplug editor.
