Hi, Am I doing something wrong? Downloaded the latest CPS, opened it, selected my radio RT3S, go to Extras, select firmware loader, but is says FM only as I found when I loaded the OpenMDUV380.bin, cannot decode DMR with the codeplug I found (it is a g77 codeplug).
If I select the top line of radios, then Extras, I see those additional buttons on the box. I have tried adding the sgl file from there and message says ok, but as I have a RT3S it still says FM only...

CPS only allows FM Only for RT3S

Please read the full installation instructions at https://opengd77.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2380
You must have a copy of the 'Donor' firmware and tell the CPS where this is located before it will enable DMR mode.
Download the donor firmware from here...https://www.passion-radio.com/index.php ... chment=760
Unzip it and save it somewhere on your PC. (the donor file is for the MD9600, that is the correct one and is used for all of the STM32 based radios)
In the firmware loader click on 'Select the official firmware (donor) file' and locate the file you have downloaded.
Note this file does not need to be loaded into the radio, the CPS only needs to know where it is located so that it can be used to add the DMR codec functions.

Re: CPS only allows FM Only for RT3S
You need the "donor" software when you flash the radio with OpenGD77 to use DMR.
Download https://www.passion-radio.com/index.php ... chment=760
Extract MD9600-CSV(2571V5)-V26.45.bin and point to that file in the Firmware Loader in the "Select official firmware (donor) file"
then select the OpenGD77 firmware with "Select Open firmware & Update"
The CPS will remember where the donor file is located for the next update, you can verify in the Firmware loader top line where it says "[+ DMR]"
if it has the donor file.
