QDMR, a GUI application and command line tool to program DMR radios

<img src="https://translate.codeberg.org/widgets/qdmr/-/graphical-user-interface/svg-badge.svg" alt="Translation status">

qdmr is a graphical user interface (GUI) application that allows to program several types of DMR radios. To this end, it aims at being a more universal codeplug programming software (CPS) compared to the device and even revision specific CPSs provided by the manufacturers. The goal of this project is to provide a single, comfortable, well-documented and platform-independent CPS for several types of (mainly Chinese) DMR radios.

Ecosystem

As qdmr gets more and more popular with Linux HAMs, the ecosystem around it grows too. These are tools, that make your day-to-day useage of qdmr easier, by providing features, not covered in qdmr or dmrconf.

• dmrfill -- Automatically extemds a qdmr YAML file with repeaters from a selected region. Get them all with one single command.

Install

There are several ways to install qdmr on your system ranging from simple app-package downloads to building qdmr from its sources. For a detailed list of instructions for your system, read the install instructions. Some distributions (see badge above) already added qdmr, thus easing the install using the system package manager.
