DMRVA Codeplugs for
Non-Motorola Radios

Step 1:  Determine Compatibility and Data Source

Non-Motorola radios in-scope for this project may be be supported by:

• Our DMR File Generator:  Makes custom CSV or Excel data files for import directly into an OEM or supported third-party CPS.  Files are built on-demand from our master channel database.  Around 70 models are supported.  Includes OpenGD77 devices and all of the zones included in our Specialty Codeplugs.

• Our CS750 or CS800D Master Codeplug with conversion through N0GSG DMR Contact Manager.  Optional add-on zones are available from our collection of Specialty Codeplugs.  Around 40 models are supported.

• Pre-built codeplugs for various models or CPSs not otherwise supported by either the File Generator or N0GSG conversion workflow.  This includes a mix of user-contributed content and official RATS files.  These usually load directly into the CPS without any special conversion steps, but may be more limited in their coverage and commonly lag behind our CS750 and CS800D masters by several versions.

To determine what's available for your radio:  Use the menu system at the top of this page.  Click on DMRVA Codeplugs > Find by Manufacturer to drill down to your make and model.  This will get you a link directly to the data as well as any conversion steps you need to use.

Step 2:  Install CPS and Drivers

Refer to our CPS Information page for download links, or send us an email at codeplug-request@rats.net if you have trouble finding the right software.

Step 3:  Convert the Codeplug (if applicable)

Many radios will use a data conversion process using the N0GSG DMR Contact Manager software.  We have a conversion guide available.

If you're using our DMR File Generator, we'll provide instructions, customized for your radio and CPS, that walk you through loading the files into your programming software and (if necessary) building zones.
