[EXTERNAL] Re: [N0GSGContactManagerSupport] AnyTone D878 CPS 2.02N Not Reading DCF Files - - Issue Follow-Up
开云体育
Hello Andrew,
You're right on the money. I have resisted monetizing Contact Manager - it has remained a "free" product for hams with no strings, no "DLL Hell" and other nonsense that seems par for the course with modern software.
What I'd like to do with this program now is connect it with non-DMR radios and allow free interchange of information across all makes.
RT Systems makes great products, and this is probably a good time for them to begin supporting DMR transceivers. They seem to have held back (like you mentioned) while the dust cloud of new products was in progress.
The Contact Manager concept is a bit of dinosaur, but it is a good working solution that seems to have served the ham radio community well.?
To take CM to the next level, we need a "dream team" of people that are committed to a long-term project. Skillsets that would be desirable :
Best,
Tom

Tom,
Seeing how Anytone seems to have forgotten who you are, I have a theory. RT Systems has now decided to come out with programming software to support DMR radios. They have tested the waters with software for the TYT MD-380. My guess is a version of their software for the very popular Anytone 878 is not far behind. With that said, Anytone may see another way to monetize a radio sale. Offer RT Systems some preferred "hooks" into their software. They now don't have to spend development dollars updating their CPS. Let someone else do the heavy lifting. Plus, this keeps the HAM dealers happy, as many of them sell RT systems software and their proprietary cables.? Programs like yours become a nuisance since you are so gracious in sharing your work with the DMR community. I saw this exact situation unfold with some early programming stuff for Yaesu radios back in the day.?
