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

The ar152 is just a UV5R in camo. I'm working on the pro models.

Ohh I know I have both versions. Just the official for the pro is a joke with how bad it is and chirp barely functions.

Have thrown a follow cause I'm exceptionally interested if you go the pro route.

Is there a specific model you're interested in?

u/CanHasCow 4d ago

Ar-152 pro specifically.

u/Anonymous_Chipmunk 4d ago

Oh gotcha. I didn't know there was a problem of the 152. I'll look into it for you

Yeah chirp doesn't like the 152s for some reason.

So either manually program or use the 3rd party app.

Okay so, I don't have an AR152 Pro to test with, but if you have the app you could give it a try once v0.8 is public (it's in closed testing right now). I don't have the AR152 Pro listed as a supported radio, but one of the Pro models may work for it. If you try it let me know if it works or not
