Our DMR codeplug resources are temporarily offline while we reorganize and modernize the site. When this project started in late 2023, our repository was built around a small number of prebuilt codeplugs for radios like the Connect Systems CS750 and CS800D, with users relying on N0GSG DMR Contact Manager to convert that information into other radio formats. That approach helped us get useful codeplug data into more people’s hands, but our process has evolved quickly.
Within the past month, we introduced the DMR File Generator, which has dramatically changed how we support DMR programming. Instead of relying primarily on fixed, prebuilt codeplugs, the DMR File Generator uses a centralized repository of Virginia-focused repeaters, talkgroups, zones, and programming data that can be tailored to each user’s actual coverage needs. Users can generate files based on the areas, systems, and options that make sense for them, rather than starting from a one-size-fits-all codeplug and manually trimming or modifying it afterward.
The biggest advantage is that the data is perpetually maintained. Traditional codeplugs tend to be tied to fixed release cycles, which means users may have to wait for the next published version or wonder whether they are working from outdated information. With the File Generator, we can keep the underlying data current on an ongoing basis, and users can generate fresh programming files whenever they need them. The tool now supports more than 100 DMR transceivers and several popular CPS applications, including EditCP, CPEditor, OpenGD77, and Motorola CPS 2.0.
That said, the File Generator does not replace every method. We will still promote the N0GSG DMR Contact Manager conversion process for radios where that remains the better fit, and we will continue offering a small number of prebuilt codeplugs for radios that are not well supported by either N0GSG or the File Generator. The goal is not to remove options, but to make the site clearer and guide users toward the easiest and most reliable path for their equipment.
Rather than leave outdated instructions and legacy files online while we make these changes, we have temporarily taken the site down for a full rework. We expect to return with a cleaner structure, updated guidance, and better support for the radios and file formats our users actually need today. Thanks for your patience while we reorganize things around a much improved codeplug-building process.
