Alinco DR03T programming software
Open WebCHIRPWebCHIRP programs the Alinco DR03T in your browser. It runs the CHIRP project's own driver for this radio, so it reads and writes the same codeplug the desktop software does — without installing anything.
No driver install needed
Alinco programming cables use a CH340, CP2102, PL2303 or FTDI USB-serial chip. WebCHIRP speaks to all four directly from the browser, so there is no driver package to download and no Windows version to match. Plug the cable in and pick the port when the browser asks.

Can I update the firmware on the DR03T?
Alinco publishes no firmware update for the DR03T: its radios are programmed at the factory, and their firmware is not meant to be replaced. It publishes firmware for a few models only; the rest list clone software and manuals.
