In 2025, Fujian Baofeng Electronics Co., Ltd. invited me to write a series of posts for the blog on the company’s website about how to program its DM-32UV handheld DMR radio. I wrote seven posts, links to which appear below.
- Programming the Baofeng DM-32UV Part One: Preparations.
- Programming the Baofeng DM-32UV Part Two: Entering Data for DMR.
- Programming the Baofeng DM-32UV Part Three: Cover FM (analog) Frequencies.
- Programming the Baofeng DM-32UV Part Four: Channel Scanning. Note: This post describes an issue with linking scan lists to channels. That issue does not occure when using CPS version 1.60.
- Programming the Baofeng DM-32UV Part Five: Digital Monitor & RX Group Lists.
- Programming the Baofeng DM-32UV Part Six: Key Assignments. Note: This post was based on CPS version 1.41. In versions 1.45 and 1.60, Baofeng removed the ability to configure side key 2. Also, firmware version DM32.01.L01.048 has an issue that causes the radio to ignore programmable keys while it is receiving a signal.
- Programming the Baofeng DM-32UV Part Seven: APRS.
