HOW to use DMR with the Q900 or even program it?

Rick N8SDR
 

Hello, I did a quick look through the group using DMR in the search filed. But didt find much

I have a version 4 q900 with the DMR module,

How do you even program this with the Q900? is there software? I saw a reference of the Q900 software site, but that 3-part RAR file is a mess and no executable in fact part 2 of the RAR contains nothing.

I saw reference CHIP, but I don't think the eQ900 is supported or even how would one connect it to the radio for programming?

On the channel programing note, what are folks using to just plain ole program the radio, for repeaters, etc. I managed to get a couple in manually through the front panel, but what a PITA.

any recommendation would be greatly appreciated/

To the best of my knowledge, there is a software that Guohe gave us that can program all channel’s on the Q900/119.?
The software allows you to program the radio in all modes available on the radio. It’s called GH terminal. It is on the WhatsApp channel saved under documents.?

Sincerely,

Brian

Rick,
This is what I did:
Ignore the Part 2 and Part 3 of the .tar files (GHTerminal).
The normal programming software is called GHTerminal and doesn't need to be installed, just run the standalone .exe file and use whatever directory as a repository to store the file output (JSONs).
You can download 'GHTerminal PART1.rar' which is the only part of the 3 parts you need (I think). The?QSerialTerminal.exe file is in the part 1 of the .tar files and some Windows machines don't let you see it. That is actually the GHTerminal software that you use to program the 0-99 channels of your PMR-171 or Q900 radio. It works okay - just okay - it includes DMR programming in each channel if you like. Nick (N3CNO) filed an issue with Chirp to have the Q900/PMR-171 radio series included in Chirp. It would be very easy because GHTerminal outp[uts in a .json format. It would be terribly easy.?
BTW, the Version 4 of the Q900 (including the awesome PMR-171) is waaaaaayyyyy better than the Version 3 radio.
