DMRconfig (DM-32UV fork) — ARCHIVED 2026-09-02

🔴 This repository is archived and unmaintained. Use qdmr instead.

qdmr has supported the Baofeng DM-32UV natively since v0.15.0 (issue #577, closed 2026-03-18). Upstream ships dm32uv_codeplug, _interface, _limits and _callsigndb, plus a test/dm32uv_test.cc regression suite that this fork never had. It offers both a GUI and the dmrconf CLI, builds on macOS, and is actively maintained — v0.15.1 (2026-06-20) alone fixed DM32UV interface detection, CTCSS encode/decode, and channel-encryption-key reference encoding.

Why this fork stopped

It was forked from OpenRTX/dmrconfig, which turns out to be a passive mirror rather than a development fork — GitHub's compare API reports it identical to sergev/dmrconfig (0 ahead, 0 behind, same tip f9bc00c dated 2025-08-02). Both have been dormant since August 2025. The pr/dm32uv-upstream-onepr branch here was prepared to upstream the DM-32 work; there is no living upstream to receive it.

What was built here

Read path with V-frame metadata discovery; talkgroup and per-channel TX contact decode; scan-list decode including priority channels; group-list decode and write; an experimental write path; and a 0x04 SETTINGS-block skip that preserves radio language/NVRAM. Kept for reference and for the protocol notes.

Deeper protocol analysis lives in @infamy/DM32-Protocol-Spec.

⚠️ One caveat carried forward: the DM-32UV scan-list membership cap is 15, and the +0x0F slot is not a member slot (hardware-verified on a DP570UV). qdmr's write path has not been tested against that finding. Verify before writing scan lists to a radio.

DMRconfig is a utility for programming digital radios via USB programming cable.

Read codeplug from the radio and save it to file 'device.img', and also save text configuration to 'device.conf':

dmrconfig -r [-t]

Write codeplug to the radio:

dmrconfig -w [-t] file.img

Configure the radio from text file. Previous codeplug is saved to 'backup.img':

dmrconfig -c [-t] file.conf

Show configuration from the codeplug file:

dmrconfig file.img

Apply configuration from text file to the codeplug file:

dmrconfig -c file.img file.conf

Update database of contacts from CSV file:

dmrconfig -u [-t] file.csv

Option -t enables tracing of USB protocol.

Whenever possible use the dmrconfig package provided from by Linux distribution

If you want to compile dmrconfig, follow these instructions:

• Install dependencies
  • On Ubuntu sudo apt install git build-essential pkg-config libusb-1.0-0-dev libudev-dev
  • On Arch Linux sudo pacman -S git base-devel libusb
  • On Mac OS brew install pkg-config libusb
• Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/sergev/dmrconfig

• Compile and install

make
sudo make install

On Linux, a permission to access USB device is required. It's possible to run dmrconfig as root, like "sudo dmrconfig", but it's safer to enable access for users. Create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-dmr.rules with the following contents:

# TYT MD-UV380
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0483", ATTRS{idProduct}=="df11", MODE="666"

# Baofeng RD-5R, TD-5R, DM-1801
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="15a2", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0073", MODE="666"

# Anytone D868UV/D878UV/D878UV2: ignore this device in Modem Manager
ATTRS{idVendor}=="28e9" ATTRS{idProduct}=="018a", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"

To activate it, run:

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

Then re-attach the USB cable to the radio.
