dzcb 0.3 Public Beta

Thank you for your interest in beta testing dzcb. Please remember that this project is developed by a single person in spare time only.

See HISTORY for motivation, criticisms, and feature development backstory.

Scope of Current Testing

I have personally tested dzcb with the following radios:

  • TYT MD-UV380 (editcp JSON and dmrconfig)
  • Anytone D878UV (CSV and dmrconfig)
  • Radioddity GD-77 (Stock firmware and dmrconfig)

I test the pnwdigital, seattledmr, custom k7abd, and repeaterbook sources.

Additionally, I have tested the exclude, order, and replacements CSV modifications as well as custom scanlists.

Testing Needed

Testing is needed for the following popular radios:

  • Anytone 578
  • TYT MD380 - UHF or VHF only
  • BTECH DMR-6x2
  • Baofeng RD-5R

Testing is needed for the include CSV and repeaterbook name format.

I would also like feedback on general usability and quality of documentation.

Where to Start

At least scan through the dzcb README to get an idea of what features are available and what formats are supported.

Look at mycodeplug/example-codeplug for a fully working example with sample CSV files and scripts to generate the codeplug.

If you're brand new to codeplug generators and github, please see the WALKTHROUGH for a step-by-step guide to building a codeplug online using github actions.

If you already use K7ABD's anytone-config-builder, then you likely already have files that will work with dzcb.

For example, to install dzcb and build existing ACB CSV files into dmrconfig codeplug files (requires python 3.6+):

pip install dzcb~=0.3.1
python -m dzcb --k7abd /path/to/existing/acb_csv --dmrconfig -- /tmp/new-codeplug

Known Issues

  • Invalid CSV input may cause the program to exit without indicating which file was problematic. This will be fixed in a later release. See issue #73

Support

Unfortunately I'm not able to provide personalized support for connecting your radio, installing drivers, python, or CPS software, or any general DMR questions.

Feedback and Feature Requests

Please file an issue or email [email protected] with any usability feedback or feature requests. Be sure to include detailed descriptions, example usage, and sample files and command lines that will help me understand the request.

Bugs

If you have discovered a bug, please file an issue in this repository, including the full codeplug output directory and log file, the full error message, operating system and python version, and any other relevant details.
