I have been studying all of the elements of my new HD1 lately, (steep learning curve for me). I have to say that your video has been the most valuable resource that I have come across on this subject. What made your presentation so exceptional were all of the "casual comments" that you interjected as you proceeded through the demonstration of the CPS's features. I found "numerous" features, that were obscure/vague to me previously, easily understood as I watched your presentation. Well done!
Funny thing I just learned about TH-cam. I got love from radiosification on this comment when I realized that I typed the word "not" when I meant to type "now". So I corrected it. Then the love disappeared. I guess that makes sense because I could have made a huge change that would maybe not warrant any love from the content creator. Anyway, I just noticed that and thought I would comment on it. Now I am just waiting for my HD1 to arrive from China.
Please help me! I'm using a RT81 in analog mode and no matter what tx option I use, it will always interrupt my calls. What should be the right option for the third radio doesn't interfere with the other two?
@@radiosification That's what I thought, but for some reason I seemed to be hitting it with the decode tone. But I've set it back to just Encode and it "seems" to be working now. Thank you. You've been really helpful with all this.
Brilliant!! what a clear and precise video, this is why I dont cover it because other people always dot it better!! thanks so much for this video its saved me a lot of time :-) I said on my HD1 video you have done a good video on programming :-) keep up the great vids, both you and RWM are my top radio youtubers :-)
Great video I have question. I need to make two contacts using SAME ID like TG 311xxxx and also SAME 311xxxx as a Private Call? Seems Hd1 software allow that? Must I if i make the TG to use same ID number as a PC make the PC via manual dial thru menu on radio? Thanks
I didn't understand the second question. For the first question, a group call and private call are completely separate and different. If you make a talkgroup (group call) with some ID and a private call with the same ID it doesn't mean anything. There's no relation between them. Every DMR radio should let you make a group call and private call with the same IDs
This was really good information, it was laid out really well, and was FAR easier to understand than other programming videos. Thank you. By any chance were you able to find any other radios that the HD1's encryption was compatible with?
Can you? Yes. Should you? No. I wouldn't trust any cheap Chinese radio in a safety critical job like firefighting. There's a reason they're cheap. They're not up to the same standard of reliability as the commonly used brands like Motorola, Icom, Kenwood, Sepura, etc.
@@radiosification I have a Kenwood analog/NXDN radio, but it’s a single-band VHF (136-174). I just want another dual radio I can use for analog VHF, UHF and FRS frequencies and transmit on it. While my kenwood radio just on one NXDN fire channel, it’s a lot of mutual aid in my area
Hi goo video even for me Italian. So please, do you know if could be possible to unlocking the frequency in this radio for 70/80 Mhz (even only receiving that's OK) Thank you
Enc (short for encode) transmits with the selected CTCSS or DCS. Dec (decode) turns on CTCSS or DCS for receiving, so the squelch only opens when the correct CTCSS or DCS is received.
Anything that can be done in what way? A DMR scanner will have no problems with that. Or depending on what it is you may be able to get a radio that can automatically choose the frequency. The HD1 does not have roaming so it can't do that.
You are trying to edit it AFTER the channel has been saved. Switch to frequency mode, set everything, then delete & re save the channel after it's set. Hope that makes sense
Can you please explain what the "RELAY" CHECKBOX on the far right under analog actually does? I'm confused. I understood it to be the setting which indicates if the frequency is for repeater use rather than "talk around". However i tested an analog repeater channel with it checked, & then again with it unchecked. I couldn't tell any difference in function. Can you lend any insight? Love the videos! Very good stuff.
Why provide software in the box when you can download the most up to date version online? The software in the box would be outdated by the time you received it.
Please make a new comment thread! Your comment is not related to the one you replied to. I can't give you a codeplug for the Netherlands because I'm not in the Netherlands myself and don't have any. This video is about teaching you how to do it yourself! As I said in the video, it's best to program the radio yourself so you actually understand the system you're using. But if you want to go and look it up online and simply download a codeplug then that's up to you.

I just ordered this radio today and I'm now binge watching the videos in this playlist. :)

There you go, I put it back on 😂
@@radiosification Funny thing is that now I realize the "not" is funnier than "now". Because that was obviously what I was doing.
Not

Do you need to add a channel for each TG? and for each repeater?
Friend, is there a way to listen to private calls on the commercial band?
How do i add the talk groups under a Dmr repeater channel do I have to make a new channel select digital for each talkgeoup
Yes
If you're trying to hit an analog local repeater that uses a input tone to access it; does the tone number go in the Dec QT/DQT or the Enc QT/DQT?
Enc because it's encoding it. Dec means the radio decodes the tone or DCS, so with Dec it's receiving it
@@radiosification That's what I thought, but for some reason I seemed to be hitting it with the decode tone. But I've set it back to just Encode and it "seems" to be working now. Thank you. You've been really helpful with all this.

Thanks. I've never really tried it but I doubt it's very secure anyway. A lot of these Chinese radios don't use proper encryption algorithms
Nicely done. I just purchased an HD1 and this was very helpful.
Great. Happy to help
Thanks ben currently programming mine, got a feeling I'll need this for reference. Cheers!
Great. How are you finding the radio so far?
Fantastic isn't it!
Как прослушать всех на определенной на частоте? Какие настройки нужны?
Does this go to the 450-520 range, I have read conflicting information?
Can I use these as firefighter use, like transmit? 136-174 analog?
Can you? Yes. Should you? No. I wouldn't trust any cheap Chinese radio in a safety critical job like firefighting. There's a reason they're cheap. They're not up to the same standard of reliability as the commonly used brands like Motorola, Icom, Kenwood, Sepura, etc.

I don't think that is possible.
@@radiosification the same as icom and something like that... Uff :(
There are other radios that cover that band. Just buy one of those instead.
Can you please explain when programing an anolouge repeater, what the difference between Dec QT/DQT and Enc QT/DQT? Thanks much! KE0RTL
Enc (short for encode) transmits with the selected CTCSS or DCS. Dec (decode) turns on CTCSS or DCS for receiving, so the squelch only opens when the correct CTCSS or DCS is received.
so is my understanding right that in the encryption key you choose the channel and can make up the key number or is it a set value?
Help where can I find that blue site that have on that video so I can program frequencies
Blue site? The only website I visited in the video is linked to in the description
What if a dmr system has multiple sites using different frequencies? Is there anything that can be done?
Anything that can be done in what way? A DMR scanner will have no problems with that. Or depending on what it is you may be able to get a radio that can automatically choose the frequency. The HD1 does not have roaming so it can't do that.
Ok what part needs used by cp
How do you set the shift ? I’ve tried on the radio and it won’t let me because it’s in channel mode
You pretty much answered your own question. You can only do it in frequency mode.
You are trying to edit it AFTER the channel has been saved. Switch to frequency mode, set everything, then delete & re save the channel after it's set. Hope that makes sense
Where did you get the software for the HD1?
on their website

Love the videos! Very good stuff.
I haven't checked in the software but I thought relay was only for DMR, to tell the radio whether it's a simplex or repeater channel.
What Software are you using?
Thank you very much for a great video!
Just received My radio Try Downloading Program Windows Defender Indicates Trojan Virus do not download 9 /15/ 18 Can you help?
Lots of people get that, it is not a virus. You can safely use the software, just add it to the exceptions list in your antivirus software
the analog repeater do not work!
Thanks Brill
I just bought one of these and there is no programming software in the kit, just the cable !.

I thought it can by hand
Yes, it can be programmed by hand but not everything. Some parts need to be done by computer.
