Write your codeplug straight to the radio, no CPS needed

Connect the programming cable, close the BTECH CPS and use Radio > Write codeplug to radio (or the Write to radio button). The program reads the radio, shows what will change, saves what was on the radio, sends the new codeplug the way the CPS does and checks it afterwards. Radio > Read codeplug from radio brings what is on the radio into a project, and Radio > Restore codeplug from a backup puts a saved read back. The BTECH CPS route still works: Export > Export CSV files for the CPS writes the CSVs and a .LST for Tool > Import > Import From File List.

Works on Windows (this release) and on a Mac (Mac preview). A read and a whole-codeplug write have been run and read back identical on a real Mac.

Keep a CPS backup (.rdt) of your codeplug before the first write.

Also new in 1.4.0

  • Repeaters from RepeaterBook with your own RepeaterBook token (DMR and analog, up to 5 states per click), next to RadioID.net and BrandMeister. Data courtesy of RepeaterBook.com.
  • Zones as views: a channel can be in several zones, Favorites zones and Talkgroup zones; zones sorted by distance from your home town.
  • Check repeaters for updates against RadioID.net and BrandMeister; BrandMeister repeater health and static talkgroups.
  • Route builder: repeaters along a drive, a route zone and GPS zone switching (GpsRoaming.CSV on Export).
  • Scan lists 2 to 8, caller names (DigitalContactList.CSV) and APRS.CSV on Export, a simplex preset, polite transmit, and safety warnings for transmit outside the amateur bands.
  • Fixes from the first real-Mac tests: past the radio's 250 receive group lists, repeaters with the same talkgroups share a list; unticked zone talkgroups stay in the list.

Install

Download W6OZZ-CPS-windows-1.4.0.zip, extract the whole folder and run CodeplugBuilder.exe. Nothing to install (it uses the .NET Framework 4.8 that Windows has). The program is not code-signed, so SmartScreen may ask: More info > Run anyway. Unofficial and not affiliated with BTECH, RepeaterBook, RadioID.net or BrandMeister; use at your own risk. MIT licensed.
