I noticed that it was very difficult to find a working link to download this software since everybody else was linking to the file hosted on radioddity.com which they had removed. I found a working download link eventually but thought I would post a new link online so others can find it easily. If you want to provide a file for download, please host it yourself or put it on some file host instead of just linking to someone else's download!
Anyway here it is:
Download
The link contains the software for the Baofeng DM-5R DMR radio for Windows and Mac OS.
Assuming you are here from a search engine, you might find my other posts interesting. I have a video on the DM-5R:

Hi is the DM-5R programming lead the same as the UV-5R lead as I can't find a DM-5R lead for sale.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Bill
Yes it is Bill
DeleteHelp please. I have a UV-5R with programming cable and it works fine. I just bought a DM-5R brand new and am not able to read or write to the radio with the same cable. The software times out each time and none of the leads on the cable (red or green) light with the DM-5R radio. I can program my UV-5R with CHIRP and the same cable fine. I am running Windows 10. Thank you and 73.
DeleteMost likely a Driver Issue - it has been recommended to use the Vista Driver via the many searches and youtubes videos.
DeleteNot necessarily. It seems SOME DM-5Rs use the same cable. Others do NOT. You may have to try a BF-5R or RD-5R setup.
Deletenon funziona li mortscci vostra!!
ReplyDeleteWhere's the mac software?
ReplyDeleteNo idea. I would be surprised if there was any mac software.
DeleteJust warming up, could use some pointers on how to connect, load (sources?) and configure this DM-5R with my PC for use in comms to the rest of the world
ReplyDeleteHi there if you reset the dm 5r plus will it still work with other radio or not because I did and now contact menu is now G 1 I think private call help
ReplyDeleteDoes this work for the Baofeng GT-3 Mark IV as well?
ReplyDeleteWork very fine on my DM-5R Plus. 73 F6FLH .
ReplyDeletedid you change the drivers for your usb cheers
DeleteHi.
ReplyDeleteThe programming software works very well. Instead, I have a strange problem, with both my two DM 5R Plus.
I'm unable to have the squelch completely opened. I'd like to do it, when I'm waiting for the satellite passages, and then you need the receiver not silenced. I programmed all the channel and the features, I upload all into the radios and then, the radios are always mute. I tried manually to set to the value of 0 the squelch, but the result is the same.It happens even in the "frequency mode", both on A or B sections. It's impossible to have the squelch neutralized. The only way I have, is to press continuisly the little button below the PTT.
Has anyone any idea about this problem?
You can answer here or to my email: i0kqb@hotmail.com
Thank you

..Oooopppsss...Sorry...I forgot to say that the two radios work very well. I tried to communicate using them. The only problem,I repeat, is the one that I mentioned over it.
ReplyDeleteCiao

Anyone have any problem get the computer to read the radio. I have tried several different cables and all but hammered the cable into the side of the radio. It still gives me the 3 tries and quit.
ReplyDeleteHi Frank. I am having the same problem. My cable works fine with programming my UV-5R but not my DM-5R. What version of windows are you using? I am using Windows 10.
DeleteIm having trouble getting my computer to read the radio and every time I plug up the radio to the Computer it will say USB not reganised Code 43. In the program it will not let me change the comp port and theres sometimes that it will say access violation. Any one else having this trouble?
ReplyDeleteYou might want to check your serial port number for your usb under Device and Comm port. I had to change the number
ReplyDeleteby hand to get my connection to work. The drop down box will not let you select the correct port. When I changed my port number in the drop box it works fine.
Hope this helps.
Steve.
Same thing happen to me.
ReplyDeleteHere is the fix I found.
Under Device and then Comm port... when the drop box opens it will not let you select the comm ports that your USB is connect to.
You must change the number in the drop down window to match your port number the USB cable is connect to.
You can edit the number in the drop box. At first I did not think I could and about drove me crazy till I found out I could edit the port number.
After that the software worked fine.
Hope this helps someone.
Steve
What dropbox are you referring to? In the Device Manager or in the Programming Software?
DeleteTHANK YOU SO MUCH, TB2NAE 73.
ReplyDeletedoes this support the baofeng dm-1701 DMR
ReplyDeleteCPS for the DM5R Plus wants me to enter a password? Been a while since I used the radio and I dont remember needing a password. I have tried the usual ones, like "password" "12341234" "123456" but no luck. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem with my dm1701. It started asking me for a password after software update. Now my radio is useless
Deletedo you have all ready the password?
DeleteRead 4x “9” or five x the 9
DeleteMaybe there is a factory password or something
ReplyDeleteTry this as access and a password
ReplyDeletectrl + alt + shift + 5
Password: DMR5R
HI,
ReplyDeleteI sent the password reset info in the first reply to the email address on the contact form, I am pastinig it in here as well.
Hello Freek
This is David with Radioddity Customer Service
1). Locate the setting.ini file . It is in the same directory as your DM-1701 software is installed and will be labeled "setting" / It will have a picture of a gear in it.
2). Open it with Notepad and where there is a line "password=0". Change this to "password=password" & save the change. See screen cap attached.
3). Write a Blank codeplug generated with the new option from the file menu of the program software to radio
4). Once that is done, Read the radio
5). Edit the software for the correct values, and PW's, radio name, etc.
5). Write the corrected data to the radio.
settings.ini file example
I am not having any luck with changing COM ports and getting my PC to see the radio (RD-5R). Are you referring to the Device Manager to change the COM Port setting?
ReplyDeleteIs there any way to get the programming software to change which port it looks for? I am using v.1.0.0.4 of the Programming Software, and would really like to know if there is documentation
The DM-5R is NOT the same as the BF-5R or RD-5R. I just went through all this crap trying to program a BF-5R. The DM-5R has the RS-232 driver as part of the programming cable. The RD-5R and BF-5R do NOT. The rs-232 is an integral part of the radio, not the cable. The cable therefore is wired straight through (ish), as it requires the D-, D+ and ground. The software is also different. If the software you are using allows you to access anything to do with the com ports it's the wrong version. The software, while mis-labelled is DM-5R Tier2 v1.1.22.0. The cable is 4 (gnd) 3(d+) 2(d-) pin 1 is +5 and NOT connected. Contact me if you need anything more.
