the following steps:
1. Apply for and receive your DMR ID

3. Install USB-driver
4. Install CPS
5. Create new codeplug from scratch
a. Enter your call-sign and your DMR-ID
b. Create your Digital Contacts / Talkgroups (TG)
c. Set up your Digital RX Group Lists
d. Program your Channels, and attach a Digital Contact for TX and attach
a Digital RX Group List for RX to each channel.
e. Program your Zones by attaching Channels to each zone.
6. Save your codeplug and transfer it to your radio
7. Get ‘on air’ with your freshly created codeplug
1. Requesting a DMR ID
To work in a DMR network, you must register for a DMR ID number. For amateur radio
this can be https://www.radioid.net/ or https://register.ham-digital.org/ depending on
where you live. Normally, new DMR IDs will be issued within 24 hours.
2. Gather information about a DMR station
There are various sources to gather the details required to setup a channel for
operating a specific station such as:

Or just check with your local amateur radio group.
