How to flash binary backup

Post by Wp4mvr »

The cpeditro has a binary backup when you read and use right button on mouse how can i use that binary rather than backup is there an option to program?
Or it is a backup of the radio or the codeplug Thanks

Hi,
The binary codeplug is only really useful for debugging. That would allow me to view the raw codeplug data from the radio in order to debug any issues that people find.
When using that option, the saved file is a hex binary dump of the codeplug data from the radio. The same data is used to convert the codeplugs to JSON.

While it is possible to write the binary file back to the radio by using the python tools, it isn't really useful for creating/editing the codeplug..
Unless of course you want to open it in a hex editor.. but the radio is already difficult enough to program without doing with a hex editor :lol:

I would just ignore that option, if you want a backup of your codeplug just save the JSON file in a safe place.
