This is the best way to avoid "Band Error" when writing a code plug someone sent you
I use WPS Office, a free word, spreadsheet software. Open Office is another good one to use for modifying your CSV files, you can also use Google Sheets
How to video
Copy and paste instructions
All you need to create your own code plug is a good list of your DMR network talkgroups
Arkansas starter "Code Plugs" use these ar a guide showing you how a code plug is created
This "Talkgroups" list will help you build a code plug
I offer code plugs made to order
The Most Common CPS issues
You must already have the correct version of CPS and are able to read and write from the radio before you can import the files and for the rdt plug files your radios band split must match
I use Band-00000 "European Commercial" for all of my code plugs, it allows full access to the radios band split
"Band Error" The plug and your radios band plan must match, go to model info and check it, to change it in the radio you must use "AT-Options" (More instructions & download)
Radios band plan and CPS band plan need to match to use other code plugs. a way to avoid all this is to just import the CSV files, the building blocks of any plug and they are pretty much universal
Note: You must import the talk groups first then layer the rest on top of that, if you run into any issues re-import the channels.
"Wrong Model" the CPS must match the radios firmware version
No communication through cable with computer, push the cable all the way into the radio and into the computer, if you don't hear the Windows chimes indicating a device connected you might have a comm port issue.
