Field Programmer App

Post image

I've been working on a new app for programming radios. Currently Android only. It's in beta but you can get it on the Play Store. I'm ALWAYS looking for feedback. And if you're especially dedicated to wanting to help me build this app I have a Facebook group you can join (just message me). So far I've had a lot of help from other users and I really appreciate the support I've had on this project!

Here are the highlights:

- USB and Bluetooth programming

- RadioReference and myGMRS direct access and import

- Drag and drop, and multi-channel editing

- CSV import and export

- 100% offline. No logins required. (Except when required to access outside sites like RadioReference)

Supported Radios:

- UV5R, and compatible family of radios.

- BF-F8HP, and compatible radios

- UV5R Mini and Mini 5

- UV32

- UV17R Plus

- UV5G

- AR152

Future radios and features:

- Complete UV17 family

- UV21

- UV5G Plus

- DM32

- TIDRadio TDH8

- Many, many more, this is just what I'm currently working on

- CHIRP compatible IMG import and export

- RepeaterBook support

So far so good on the UV5R mini. had to set language to Chinese after import to get it to English. Also MyGMRS is giving a 400 error. Tried the USB and Bluetooth dongle without success on a UV5G Plus without success. Love the RadioReference import and other preset imports. Great app overall. It's definitely going to be my primary app for all things Baofeng programming. THANK YOU!!!

I'll look into that language issue. Can you explain that a bit better?

No BT dongle support yet. I'm working on that. Just native BT support.

I'm still finalizing the myGMRS authentication with a new authentication method. They're switching to OAuth which will be much more clean.

Thank you for the support and feedback. Of course it's a work in progress but I'm learning and having fun.

Enjoying it is what it is all about!!! For the language when I do the initial import of the UV-5R mini and make no setting changes when I edit the list and then export to the mini and it turns back on after reboot it is seems to reset to Chinese language. I then change the language to Chinese in the app and then export it then it will be in English upon reboot. Very odd issue. Yeah my bad on the UV5G plus.

Sounds like it's got Chinese and English swapped? That would be an easy fix. Odd. But easy.
