N?GSG DMR Contact Manager 2.80 Release

 

All,
?
We have just released N?GSG DMR Contact Manager version 2.80. N0GSG DMR Contact Manager is the "goto" software for working with codeplug data in many different makes of DMR radios, including Alinco, Tera, BTECH, Connect Systems, Tytera, AnyTone, and others. It allows you to freely edit information in all supported codeplugs, and also allows you to migrate data freely between any supported radio types using copy and paste commands for individual elements (such as contacts, channels, or zones), or Structural Import for seamlessly migrating complete codeplug structures.
?
The following enhancements are included in Version 2.80:
?
  • The program can now create Digital Contact CSVs for all AnyTone models. You can now update digital contacts in any AnyTone model by utilizing the DMR Online Database Searcher and clicking the "Export as CSV..." button. Contact Manager will nearly instantly compile your CSV according to the search parameters you've chosen, and in minutes you can import this CSV into the AnyTone CPS and directly port it to your radio.
  • You can now configure DMR Contact Manager as the default application for opening codeplugs with the Associate DMR Files command. Once you select this, your codeplug files will appear with distinctive icons to make it easier for your to find them - - and they will open for you simply by double-clicking them.
    The software now fully supports the Alinco DJ-MD40T.
  • Support for all previous models, including the newer Connect Systems CS800D (Types I, II, and III), CS750 (Type I), TYT MD-2017 and MD-9600 dual band DMR radios, is included. If you've got one of these radios, use Contact Manager to build the perfect codeplug - - use Contact Manager's Structural Import feature to splice together information from your existing codeplug(s) and be on the air in minutes. Or, if you've got a new radio, migrate the codeplugs from legacy models to your new radio.
  • We fixed a minor bug in the DMR database import function so that missing fields in DMR user records are now properly handled. This bug intermittently caused problems during manipulation of Digital Contact lists.
The for Contact Manager is updated and explains how to use the new features. (AnyTone, Alinco DJ-MD5 and BTECH DMR-6X2 users, please read the documentation carefully to understand how to create DCF files from the CPS for editing these codeplugs within Contact Manager.)

Tom:

Thank you for the heads up on Contact Manager V2.8. ?This is good news.

Today I was alerted on a different forum that Anytone released a new firmware update on 23 JAN 25 for the Anytone D168UV (firmware v1.05) and D878UV (v3.06 firmware). ? The posting also states that Anytone has revised the address location of the memories starting with v3.05 on the Anytone D878UV. ?The posting notes that the current version of RT Systems software is not compatible with D878UV v3.05 or later. ?

Lastly, I took a look at the Anytone website??and it appears that AnyTone has also released a firmware update for the D878UV+ on the same date as well.

Consequently, any thoughts on whether Contact Manager v2.80 is compatible with the these new firmware versions? ?


Thanks,

Hello Barry,

Contact Manager will continue to be compatible with AnyTone products as long as they support the DCF format, which is invariant regardless of format changes due to individual model updates.

The DCF idea originated with AnyTone and is a good one, however, everyone must remember that DCF files cannot track setting changes unique to specific radio models that were not originally defined in the DCF standard.

I recommend that to update digital contacts on any AnyTone model, use the updated CSV Export functionality provided in the Contact Manager DMR Online Database Searcher tool. This is a quick and very easy to accomplish this task without having to perform any codeplug edits.

Best regards,
Tom N0GSG
