Off Topic - D578 Help
Hi all. Does anyone have a BASIC code plug they could share? I just purchased my 578 and I am having problems getting a working code plug. This unit is very different from my 878 in programming. I THOUGHT I could import my 878 code plug to the 578, I was wrong. Can anyone give me some help here? Thanks in advance. 73' de W2LPC.

I don't have a basic code plug for you, but if the 578 uses a similar scheme for the fields in the memory database, this might work. My brother and I have Anytone radios, one of us has the 878, the other the 868. He had to open two different Anytone codeplug programmers and transfer from one to the other. I wasn't able to use his codeplug directly. I don't completely understand this, but it worked. I also don't know if you can do this between different Anytone radios. I seem to remember that you have to use the programmer for the specific firmware revision your radio has. If you're copying from one to the other, you'll need to open the donor's codeplug in the programmer for that radio's firmware revision. I might be incorrect in this, or I might have missed an inportant detail or step, as I let my brother do this and he sent me the codeplug he customized for me. I think whoever came up with the DMR thing could have made this a whole lot easier to work with!

You can export your 878 data using the CPS software and then import it into the 578 using the CPS software for that radio. Go to Tools>Export and click on Export All. It will save a file with a .LST extension and export all of your files as sepaerate .CSV files. Then go to the 578 CPS and select Tools>Import and click on import a .LST file. It will bring in all of your CSV files. You might get some errors (I did) but I got my Channels, Zones, and Contact List and that was really all I was interested in.
