#MI DMR PROGRAMMING UPGRADE#
Upgrades will work only on the radio they were purchased for and are not transferrable to another radio.You can order one, two or all three upgrades for each radio.

To get your key, you'll need your scanner's Electronic Serial Number (ESN) and Checksum. We are not responsible if you provide the wrong scanner information. Copy them EXACTLY into the drop downs above. For example:Īfter the firmware has been updated retrieve the ESN and SUM codes from the scanner. All the extra fields are operator preference and should be self-explanatory (such as the power setting, the time-out setting, etc.).Firmware updates for the other models are done at “” replacing with your scanner’s actual model. In this example, I singled out some of the basic settings required to make a channel work– the mode, channel name (you can label this anything that you want), the frequency, the Talk Group, the Color Code, and the Time Slot. Each channel contains the (1) repeater frequency, (2) the repeater Color Code, (3) the repeater Time Slot, and (4) the desired Talk Group– the Talk Group is chosen from the “ Digital Contact” folder previously created. Secondly, I am going to create a channel. This folder will hold a list of Talk Groups (TG) that I plan to use in the radio, which are required for programming a channel. The first folder that I will populate is the “ Digital Contacts” folder (this folder may have a slightly different name in your radio– each brand of radio may vary). Once the folders are filled with data, now the process of programming– creating DMR Operating Channels and zones– begins.Īs an example, I will show you the basic folder requirements from my radio. Zone Folder– create your operating regions, or group of Operating Channels that you will use while travelling to different parts of the state with your radio.This holds the frequency, Color Codes, and Time Slot information. Channel Folder– create all the channels on which you will transmit and receive as you are on the air.Digital Contact Folder– create a list of the available contacts (hams) that are on the DMR network.Talk Group Folder– create a list of all the available TG’s that you plan to use on the DMR radio.The first step of the programming process is to fill each folder with data– develop your database– from which you will create the DMR Operating Channels: In DMR world the programming process is quite different and more involved. In the ANALOG world, one simply grabs an HT, enters a frequency into a VFO or memory channel, and is on-the-air with the local repeater.
Programming ProcessĪs you now can see, the programming process for a DMR radio is completely different.
Each zone contains a list of Operating Channels for the repeaters in those towns. For instance, I have a couple zones in my DMR radio one for the Green Bay, Wisconsin area and another for the Marquette, Michigan area. A zone can be thought of as a region or a collection of Operating Channels for a particular geographic location. Once the DMR Operating Channels have been created, then the final step is to program a ZONE. Prior to creating a DMR Operating Channel, some of the required fields must be stored in a “folder” in the DMR radio– just like a buffet– so that the information is available to choose from while creating your channel.
