Spring Firmware & Code Plug Workshop
Firmware & Code Plug Update Workshop
February 21, 2026 @ 09:00 - 12:00
Each Spring, ARES R1D5 members assemble together to help each other update radio firmware, update code plugs and troubleshoot any radio issues in an effort to be prepared for the upcoming schedule of events we support each year. We also share tips and techniques to improve our experience with the hobby.
We usually begin the morning at 0900 with a presentation on a radio topic of interest to the group. Afterwards, we may break into separate groups or into separate rooms to update code plugs, update firmware and / or troubleshoot issues we are having with our radios. We will have Elmers standing by to assist as needed.
So mark your calendar and bring your HT / mobile radio to the workshop. Hopefully you’ll leave with a radio that is ready for the upcoming season of planned events and unplanned incidents.
We will meet in the Youth Room 144 to start and break out to other rooms based on need and attendance.
If you are willing to be an Elmer during one of these DMR workshops, please reach out to Training@aresdec.org.
