![qdmr channel editor](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hmatuschek/qdmr/master/doc/fig/qdmr-channels.png "The qdmr CPS software.")

*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**](https://static.dm3mat.de/qdmr/manual/) 
and **platform-independent** CPS for several types of (mainly Chinese) DMR radios.

Currently, there are only few radios that are supported

## 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 usage of *qdmr* easier, by providing features, not covered in 
qdmr or dmrconf.

  * **[dmrfill](https://github.com/jancona/dmrfill)** -- Automatically extemds a qdmr YAML file with repeaters from a selected region. Get them all with one single command.
  * **[anytone-emu](https://github.com/dmr-tools/anytone-emu)** -- A tool for emulating radios, reverse engineering and documenting codeplugs. Also generates some [codeplug documentation](https://dmr-tools.github.io/codeplugs/).
