Video Guide

Michael from Teaching Tech made a video guide about the installation. He was so kind to allow me to embed it here! Thumbnail installation starts at 1:49.

Thumbnail generation is based on the fastest STL viewer available. Folders full of STL files are no problem, and most STL thumbnails are generated as fast as those of JPG photos.

Custom colors

Hytera Cps [portable] Download Link Jun 2026

Hytera Customer Programming Software (CPS) is a desktop application used to configure Hytera two-way radios. It allows network administrators and radio enthusiasts to customize how a radio operates. Without the correct CPS version, a digital radio is essentially a blank slate. Key functions of Hytera CPS include:

Right-click on the setup.exe or Autorun.exe file and select Run as Administrator to ensure the software has permissions to install required USB drivers.

No. Hytera uses a specific programming cable (e.g., PC-CP for PD series, which has a built-in level shifter). You need an official Hytera cable. The CPS will install the driver for that cable.

If you’ve just purchased a Hytera digital radio or need to reprogram an existing unit, you are likely looking for the Hytera CPS (Customer Programming Software) download link. hytera cps download link

Some radios (like the PD785) also support Bluetooth programming , eliminating the need for a physical cable. Check your radio’s specifications to see if Bluetooth is available.

There is for all Hytera radios. Using the wrong CPS can "brick" your device.

During the installation wizard, ensure you check the box to install the Hytera USB Driver . Without this driver, your PC will fail to recognize the radio when plugged in via the programming cable. Hytera Customer Programming Software (CPS) is a desktop

The official is the primary, secure platform to obtain Hytera Customer Programming Software (CPS) , firmware upgrades, and USB drivers. Accessing the correct software suite is non-negotiable for configuring digital mobile radio (DMR) networks, updating fleet features, or reassigning corporate frequencies.

Solution: You are using an outdated version of CPS or the wrong software line entirely. Verify if your radio is a standard DMR model or a newer H-Series model, then request the updated software package.

Hytera produces dozens of radio models across different eras: Key functions of Hytera CPS include: Right-click on

Before downloading and installing the software, please ensure your computer meets the following system requirements:

Solution: Disable aggressive antivirus software or firewall rules temporarily during the download process, as security software frequently flags radio programming executables as false positives.

If you own a Hytera digital portable or mobile radio (such as the PD4, PD5, PD6, PD7, HP6, or H-Series), the is the essential tool for configuring, updating, and managing your device's features.

If you are using a new H-Series radio, you must use the specific H-Series programming software, not the older DMR V8 or V9 software 1.2.2.


Dark background on some thumbnails

a folder with two thumbnails whose background is entirely black

Clear your Explorer thumbnail cache (see above) or copy the file to a different location.

This is a bug in Windows 10 that also affects other thumbnails – for example transparent PNG images here and here.

I can’t do anything in my program to work around it, I’m afraid. Please use the Windows 10 feedback function to report this to Microsoft. If enough users do it, they may eventually fix it. Windows 7 does not have this bug.
