I repeat. To get started. I have seen this referenced in Forum, but not linked.
Can someone please point me to where I can get latest CPS and Firmware for DM-1801? The DM-1801 I got came with no software.
Thanks, Dave

Maybe I'm just too opaque, but I don't see what I am looking for, or maybe I wasn't clear enough:
I received a DM-1801 without a file for the existing firmware from BaoFeng that's in the radio. I'd rather not start fooling around with OpenGD77 until I have a way of restoring the BaoFeng firmware in case I get into trouble. What I am looking for is a link to the latest BaoFeng DM-1801 firmware to load with the BaoFeng installer.
Are you pointing to that? Or, are you saying that I can download the existing firmware with OpenGD77 software? Or, are you saying something else?
Thanks, Dave

You could take a look in this github issue
https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/ ... /issues/14
Where someone has referenced
https://radio.denied.org.ua/index.php?d ... 20DM-1801/
I've no idea where the latest firmware from Baofeng is, because AFIK their official site doesn't have a link to a firmware download.

Thanks Ken.
Last time I Googled for it, there wasnt any firmware on Baofeng's site and I presumed K7DCJ had already googled for it.

hi, its the original release which is not even T1, weird vocoder firmware, alas i have no idea what is inside, there was a brief 'paid' update available to change the vocoder but i missed it, and its not available now, its probably only good for fm now lol

Ken.
I've started a thread about the DM-5R and RD-5R, you never know it may be possible to run the OpenGD77 on both of these, but I've heard that the DMR chip is a C5000 in these radios not a C6000 and I don't know if there is any function difference between them.
