create an initial program template.
The Computer Programming Software (CPS) for the DMR-6X2 may be updated
periodically as features new features are added.
The BTech website will offer those updates at https://baofengtech.com/dmr-6x2

version 1.00 should always be used with Firmware version 1.00, etc. Do not mix FW
and SW versions. This firmware is specific to this model only. Loading DMR-6X2
firmware to a different model radio will Not added extra features to that radio.
When reading/writing data, the software will ask to select “Digital Contact List” and/or
“Other Data” (codeplug parameters). The DMR Contact List contains information on
over 100K DMR IDs, and will take up to 5 minutes process. Only select this when
loading the DMR DB.
A good starting point for a new codeplug would be a local ham
that has a DMR-6X2. If you are starting from scratch, refer to
RepeaterBook as a source for repeater information. Also,
check if the “N0GSG Contact Manager” is available for this
radio.
If the
Mode Select
screen appears when you open the CPS,
leave unchecked and click “OK”. This option allows the use of
identical Contact names and Channel names.
