title: APRS With The Hytera PD785G
summary: >
This article is based on the Firmware v9. If you still have v8 do not upgrade---
the v8 is still the better choice! If you need a tutorial for v8 have a look
at [this website](https://dmraustria.at/gps-einstellungen-fuer-aprs-bei-hytera-geraeten/)---
it is in german though.
This article is based on the Firmware v9.

But I've read on social media (Telegram) that some people were not able to
change their bands---mostly users of mobile radios. In this conversation

He just changed the 17<sup>th</sup> byte in the codeplug file so the bands in
the codeplug matched the bands used on the radio.

## Why would you need this?
In Austria many of us use the website [dmraustria.at](http://dmraustria.at). The
codeplug for a Anytone radio had the bands set to `0` while some OMs could
not change the bands on their radios so the CPS did not let them write the
codeplug to the radio.
You get a codeplug from a friend but you cannot load it into your radio because
it uses a different band setting and you cannot change that on your radio. So
you want to change the band setting in the codeplug to match it your radio setting.
With this method you can change the bands in the codeplug so you can write the
codeplug to your radio even if you did not change the bands to `0`.
## But, what you still have to consider
You change from **0** to **3**, that means you can store frequencies within
**136-174 MHz** and **400-480 MHz** while you use the **0** setting. You then
change your codeplug to only make use of **144-146 MHz** as well as **430-440 MHz**.
_You see where this is going?_
You'd be fine if you only use frequencies within the HAM bands, though.
