Radioddity DB20-G programming software
Open WebCHIRPWebCHIRP programs the Radioddity DB20-G 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
Radioddity 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 DB20-G?
Radioddity publishes firmware updates, though not for every radio it has made. Its download page is where to check whether the DB20-G is one of them. Its firmware downloads cover the DMR radios; much of the analog range has programming software only.
Firmware downloads at radioddity.com
WebCHIRP does not flash firmware. It reads and writes the channel list and settings over the programming cable, which is a separate part of the radio.
