Getting ‘on air’ with your Radioddity GD-73 v1.0
Programming the GD-73
The GD-73 is a UHF radio with digital DMR (true tier I and II) as well as analogue FM.
It offers a total of 1024 channels (analogue and digital), arranged in up to 64 zones.
Each zone can accommodate a maximum of 16 channels each. In addition, up to
1024 contacts with the CPS can be stored on the radio.
The file created by the Computer Programming Software (CPS) contains the
frequencies and other operating parameters and is referred to as a ‘code plug’.
Creating a code plug is a bottom-up process where you first have to create the lowest
common elements, and then combine those elements to form a code plug that will be
transferred to the radio. With the GD-73's CPS, you can create the code plug yourself
to suit your exact requirements, or you can use another person’s code plug if you wish.
Don’t forget to save your code plug so you can easily make changes to your radio
configuration at some time in the future.
The programming cable for the GD-73 is an included accessory. The USB
programming cable has a Type A USB connector for connection to USB port of a PC
and a micro USB connector on the other side for connection to the GD-73. This is a
standard USB cable, the same as many smartphone USB cables. The cable does not
contain any special electronics. For the PC to identify the GD-73, it must be
connected to the PC by this cable and the GD-73 turned on.
Note
There is no chip or electronics in the cable so the radio's internal communications port
can only be identified when the radio is switched on.
