What is CPSProgrammer?
DMR (Digital Mobile Radio) is a digital voice (DV) modulation scheme,which becomes more and more popular in amateur radio (ham radio). To beable to use the radio transceivers, all frequencies (channels) used must beentered as a „memory channel“ into the so called codeplug (CP). There isa huge number of local radio repeaters, as well as analogue FM repeatersand simplex frequencies, which all have to be entered into the CP by typing it manually into a programming software (CPS). Onlyin Germany we currently have about 300 DMR repeater, which expand toabout 700 channels (2 timeslots + many mixed mode FM) only forDMR..
Principle of the CPSProgrammer: CPSProgrammer is designed to interact with the existing vendor-provided CPS software.
The vendor's CPS software must be running for CPSProgrammer to update the codeplug that is open in vendor's CPS software
CPSProgrammer will make that work much more simple. All DV channels canbe downloaded from the DMR database and than can easily be managedand extended by analogue channels, using Excel. A CSV file, to be generated from the Excel table, thenwill be used by the CPSProgrammer to program the channel information into the CPS.
CPSProgrammer directly accesses the CPS windows controlsto transfer the programming information from the CSV-file into thecodeplug. The automatic transfer of a few hundred channels into the Radio Programming Software takes a few minutes only.
CPSProgrammer requires a well prepared codeplug and a well prepareddatabase (CSV), to be able to minimize your typing work on the codeplug.

Features and Limitations
| CPSProgrammer is an automatic programming (programming robot) of the channel information of a CPS. CPSProgrammer reads all input-information from a CSV file. CPSProgrammer is designed to interact with the existing vendor-provided CPS software. CPSProgrammer does not read or write codeplug-files (.rdt, .rcd, .rcdx). The vendor's CPS software must be running for CPSProgrammer to update the codeplug that is open in vendor's CPS software (see picture above: 'Principle of the CPSProgrammer'). Currently supported CPS software.

Concepts Of Programming Codeplugs
Programming a codeplug requires a careful preparation of all the data needed. There are many fields to be filled with data and many interdependencies between this lists. To improve programming and to avoid unnecessary work, the interdependencies between different lists and fields in a codeplug should be known.
This picture shows the most important interdependencies in a codeplug (click to enlarge)
- First define all GroupCall, which are the Talk-Groups used in your area (e.g. TG1 world wide, TG2 Europe, TG262 Germany). This step must be done manually.
- Second define at least one RX-Group which contains all Talk-Groups expected to be received on a single channel (check for a talk group matrix for the repeaters in your area. This step also must be done manually
- Next we have to define scanlists. As we have not yet programmed the channels, the scanlists will be empty in the first step. The CPSProgrammer supports generating empty scanlists from a given csv. This is marked as step 1 in the CPSProgrammer.
- Having prepared TX-Contacts (a single talk group), RX-Groups (a list of talk groups) and empty scanlists, we are able to write our channels into the CPS. This is step 2 in the CPSProgrammer.
- Next we are able to fill our empty scanlists with the channels, we just have written into the code plug. This is step 3 in the CPSProgrammer.
- As a last step (step 4) we can create zones and fill the zones with the channels we have written into the code plug.
Coding Reference for Channels
How to generate a propper CSV File for channels
At first start with downloading the required DMR channels from the internet: http://dmr.ham-digital.net/rptr_by_id.php for a worldwide list or http://dmr.ham-digital.net/rptr_by_id.php?id=262for a national or regional list (e.g. 262 for Germany). Import thedownloaded CSV into a table calculation (excel) and add as many DMR orFM frequencies as you like.Next add additional rows and add the labels required in the first line. See the tablebelow for additional information. Then enter all the informationdescribed in the table. Finally export your table into a CSV file (named'channels-05.csv' by default).
Please use ';' (semicolon) as delimiter.
A tool providing help to create a channellist with proper coding for the CPSProgrammer is provided online:
Just go to http://www.spacesupport.de/repeater-liste.php and select 'create channel list'. The DMR repeater list will directly be taken from the DMR database, which grants an up-to-date channel list.
Description of the additional labels, used
CPSProgrammer requires several information from the CSV database to program the CP. The CSV downloaded form http://dmr.ham-digital.net/rptr_by_id.php already provides all information about the RF interface of the channel, grouped by the labels in the header line:CPSProgrammer requires some of this labels, as well as additionallabels to define RXGroupLists, ScanLists, names, TalkGroups and manyother things required from the CP. Please have a look at he CSV filewhich comes with the software download:
| Label | Values | [1] | Required_for | Description |
| callsign | text | x | DMR, FM | This is the callsign of the repeater which gets displayed in your transceiver, e.g. DB0RTA |
| qrg | number | x | DMR, FM | This is the frequency where your DMR transceiver will receive, e.g. 438.3525 or 438,3525 |
| shift | number | x | DMR, FM | This is the shift of the repeater, e.g. -7,6 or 0 for simplex frequencies |
| cc | number | x | DMR | This is the number of the colour code, e.g. 1 |
| c | FM | If field is left empty, CTCSS is applied to TX only. If set to 'c', CTCSS is set to TX and RX. | ||
| mix | m, | x | DMR | Defines, whether the repeater is a pure DMR or a mixed mode repeater.
|
| s1, s2 | DMR |
| ||
| ctcss | number | x | DMR (mixed mode), FM | Frequencyof the CTCSS signal if required. Any notation may be used (e.g. 88,88.5 or 88,5. Also Digital Coded Squelch codes can be defined(e.g. D445N). Please note, that digital codes may not be compatible between different devices (TYT, Hytera, ...).
|
| net | text | x | DMR | DMR-net. Used to insert characters after the callsign: dmr-plus: #, hytera: H, marc: M |
| dmrid | number | x | FM (optional) | This field is not mandatory for CPSProgrammer, however if a FM channel contains a valid DMR-ID (Number > 100,000) in this field, it will be treated like a mixed-mode channel: A net-delimiter for MixedFM will be appended (e.g. %FM). |
| 0 | any | - | Notrequired and not recognised by the programmer, but very usefull to keepthe header line on top, when sorting the CSV lines in different orderin your table calculation. | |
| type | a, d | DMR, FM | Defines the type of the cannel, Enter a for analogue (FM) or d for digital (DMR) channels | |
| callext1 | text | DMR | Additional descrition of timeslot 1, added to the callsign and displayed at the transceiver | |
| callext2 | text | DMR | Additional descrition of timeslot 2, added to the callsign and displayed at the transceiver | |
| txcontact1 | text | DMR | Name of the default TX Talkgroup for TG1 in the pull down menue, e.g. TG262 | |
| txcontact2 | text | DMR | Name of the default TX Talkgroup for TG1 in the pull down menue, e.g. TG9 | |
| rxgroup1 | text | DMR | Name of the RXGroup for TG1 in the pull down menue, e.g. WW | |
| rxgroup2 | text | DMR | Name of the RXGroup for TG2 in the pull down menue, e.g. WW | |
| pwr | h, l | DMR, FM | Power for this channel, set to h for high or l for low | |
| scanlist1 | name | DMR | Name of the Scanlist for TG1 in the pull down menue, e.g. Munich-DMR (Also used to specify the Roaminglist for PD785x) | |
| scanlist2 | name | DMR | Name of the Scanlist for TG2 in the pull down menue, e.g. Munich-DMR-FM (Also used to specify the Roaminglist for PD785x) | |
| scanlistfm | name | FM | Name of the Scanlist for FM in the pull down menue, e.g. Munich-FM. Also requiredfor the FM channel of a mixed mode repeater (mix = 'm') | |
| any other value | - | - | - | Not recognised by the programmer. Can be used to insert comments into the CSV. Additional columns, provided by the DMR-database can be left in the CSV. |
An example for a channel.CSV accepted from CPSProgrammer, containing two repeater frequencies, is shown below. When executet, CSPProgrammer generates two channels for each line (TS1 and TS2) resulting in a total of 4 channels.
Generation of display names (channel name)
Display names are made by concatenation of the callsign and callext1 or callext2 (depending on the TS). For special networks, an additional delimiter will be inserted before callextNEinstruction Cps Ir Driver
: This allows you to distinguish between different networks, which use different talkgroups and operating techniques. Different delimiters can be configured by editing the ini-file. The following settings are provided with the default ini-file:Motorola Customer Programming Software Cps
| Network name (net) | Delimiter |
| BM (Brandmeister) | & |
| DMR-DL | (none) |
| DMR-plus | # |
| Hytera | H |
| IPSC2 | * |
| Marc | M |
| Mixed-Mode FM*) | %FM |
Sample: DB0RTA #1TG262, where callsign: DB0RTA, net: DMR-plus, callext1: 1TG262
Important:Please take care, that no channel name (e.g. DB0RTA #1TG262) occurstwice. CS700 programming software is not able to handle twice the samename and will respond with an error message, desynchronising the on-goingprogram run.
*) Mixed-Mode FM: This indicates a DMR-repeater providing FM mode on the same frequency as DMR. It usually transmits an CTCSS-signal on FM to allow an RX to suppress DMR signals.
Coding Reference for Scan- and Roaminglists
To automatically generate and fill scanlists, a CSV with a specific format is required. The file contains one line for each scanlist, starting with the name of the scanlist and followed by the channel names.
The only recognised labels are 'scanlist' which contains the name of the scanlist, and 'ch1' through 'ch31' which contain the channel names to be added to this scanlist (Note: channel 32 is the selected channel itself). If less than 32 channels are added, the channelname is a zero-string ', which means that it's just followed by the next semicolon ';'. As an example, the scanlist 'Bodensee' contains only one channel.
To generate scanlists, you may comfortably use DO1JG's scanlist & zonelist CSV-generator
For a Roaminglist the same structure is valid, as for a Scanlist. The keyword in the CSV, line 1 is 'RoamList'. Please note, that roaming is not supported by all devices.
Coding Reference for Zones
To automatically generate and fill Zones, a CSV with a specific format is required. The file contains one line for each zone, starting with the name of the Zone and followed by the channel names.
The only recognised labels are 'zonelist' which contains the name of the scanlist, and 'ch1' through 'ch16' which contain the channel names to be added to this Zone. If less than 16 channels are added, the channelname is a zero-string ', which means that it's just followed by the next semicolon ';'.
Hytera V8 codeplugs do allow up to 256 channel per zone. CPSProgrammer does support this feature by accepting additional columns Ch17;Ch18 ...Ch256. It is not mandatory to use consecutive numbers. Any amount of columns between 16 and 256 is accepted.
To generate zones, you may also use DO1JG's scanlist & zonelist CSV-generator
Coding Reference for RX Groups
To automatically generate and fill RXGroups, a CSV with a specific format is required. The file contains one line for each RXGroup, starting with the name of the Group and followed by the TalkGroup names.
The only recognised labels are 'RxGroups' which contains the name of the RXGroup, and 'tg1' through 'tg64' which contain the TG names to be added to this RXGroup. If less than 64 TGs are added, the TG-name is a zero-string ', which means that it's just followed by the next semicolon ';'.
Please note, that different transceiver support a different number of maximum TGs per RXGroup. Please refer to 'features and limitations' for manufacturer related information.
Ini-File
The CPSProgrammer may be individually configured with an ini-file, located in the same directory. The [General] section applies to the whole program, while all the other sections only apply to a specific device, selected. The ini-file can be opened and edited with any text editor (e.g. notepad). The values provided below are default values, in case the related entry is missing, misspelled or the ini-file is missing.Download ini-file documentation - last update 20180115

Export Codeplug to CSV
CPSProgrammer can read the controls of the CPS and therefore export the channels of an opened codeplug into a CSV file. This can be used as backup, or as a base for codeplug development, to start from. This may also be used to copy channels between different DMR transceivers, which codeplugs are not interchangeable. Before you start 'export channels', you have to open any channel with your CPS!
The picture above shows the export of channels from a CPS. The exported channels are written into a edit field in CSV notation first, where you can edit the data before storage. You may enter text, delete text or copy (ctrl+c) and paste (ctrl+v) text in the edit field. The red out channels are re-compiled into the CPSProgrammer format, where up to 3 channels (TS1, TS2, mixed-mode-FM) can be packed into one line, if applicable.
While exporting the channels, CPSProgrammer collects information about the used ScanLists, RXGroups and TXContacts in the codeplug being exported. This information is shown in the boxes under 'Code Plug information' and can be saved in a text file by clicking the 'Save Code Plug Information' button.
You may also define a range in your codeplug within the selected channels will be exported (a channel number can be found next to the navigation buttons in your CPS). With the default setting 1 ... 1024 ALL channels of a codeplug will be exported.
Einstruction Cps Software Download Legacy
Exporting zones is shown in the picture below. The operation of exporting zones, scanlists and RXGroups as well, is quite similar to exporting channels, described above. Once the zones, scanlists or RXGroups are written into the edit-field, you can edit the CSV or save the data in a file by clicking 'Save as'.
List Generators
CPSProgrammer provides list generators for DMR and FM channels, to automatically generate channel-CSVs with consecutive frequencies, such as consecutive simplex- or repeater-channels. The generated channels are written into a edit field in CSV notation first, where you can edit the data before storage. You may enter text, delete text or copy (ctrl+c) and paste (ctrl+v) text in the edit field.
Below is an example, how to generate the European FM repeater channels with its former naming pattern R70, R70x ... R101x (x equals 12,5 kHz offset). The naming pattern for repeater channels now is different, but this example shows how powerful the channel list generator can be used.
The callsign ('channel name') to be displayed is generated automatically and made by a concatenation of up to 6 input fields. The following functions are available for each of the 6 fields:
- N: Insert counter value, incremented by one, each line. Usually starts by 0
- Text: Insert text, entered in the input field just below the combo-field
- space: Insert a single space ' '
- N, N/2 ... N/16: Insert an integer N, or N/x (to generate x times the same number, e.g. N/2: generates 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, ...)
- Nmod2 ... Nmod16: Insert the remainder of N/x. (e.g. N Mod 4 generates 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, ...)
- C1-3-5: Insert 'Cx', cycling all odd numbers from 1 to 15: C1, C3, C5 ... C13, C15, C1, C3, C5, ...
- 0-0x: Inserts letter x, when N is an odd value (Used to generate R70, R70x, R71, R71x, ... in the sample above)
- 0-0text: Inserts the text, entered in the input field just below, when N is an odd value
- clr: Insert nothing (clear)
- f-RX.5: Insert RX frequency with 5 digits, e.g. 433.58750
- f-RX.4: Insert RX frequency with 4 digits, e.g. 433.5875
- f-RX.3: Insert RX frequency with 3 digits, e.g. 433.587
The picture above shows the DMR CSV List-Generator, which allows to generate a channel list with consecutive frequencies. The sample shown here, will generate consecutive channels according to the DMR-Find scheme.
The picture above shows the window of 'Convert FM-Repeater List' with a converted repeater list. This allows you to convert a CSV file, downloaded from http://relaislisten.darc.de/ into a format required from CPSProgrammer.
Via this Interface you have access to one of the biggest databases on amateur radio voice repeaters. Currently they have more than 8000 entries from more than 60 countries in their database.
To build the channel-name for the newly generated CSV, two additional functions are provided:
- CSV-call: Adds the text provided with the 'call' field of the input file
- CSV-info: Adds the text provided with the 'info' field of the input file
Einstruction Download
Please carefully check the input file for inconsistency and doubled entries. Sometimes information (e.g. repeater input frequency) is missing.
Bulk Edit
To edit a bulk of channels in one time, CPSProgrammer does provide bulk edit functions. Bulk Delete Channels (picture below) allows you to delete channels in your codeplug.
You can select if you want to delete all channels or only FM or DMR channels. You may also skip mixed mode channels (delimiter, e.g. %FM, is defined in the ini-file). You may also define a range in your codeplug within the selected channels will be deleted (a channel number can be found next to the navigation buttons on the left side). With the default setting 1 ... 1024 ALL channels in a codeplug will be deleted.
CPSProgrammer first jumps to last channel in the codeplug and starts searching reverse. If the number of the current channel is lower or equal then 'delete to ch' the current channel will be deleted, provided it fits to the selection (all, DMR, FM). If the channel number, given in 'delete from ch' is reached, bulk delete stops.
Bulk Delete: The green progress bar shows the current progress.
Convert CSV
This new function allows you to convert CPSProgrammer CSVs into CSV-formats accepted from third party Customer Programming Software, for importing data.
Following sources may be used as input for conversion:
- CPSProgrammer CSV, generated by exporting any existing codeplug from any supported CPS (Hytera, Tytera, Retevis)
- CSV generated from the current DMR-Repeater-Database. See here for detailed information.
- CSV containing consecutive frequencies (lists), generated by the integrated list generator. See here for detailed information.
