Re: SK1 behaviour: backlight and channel info

It will be part of the next release (bug was here since Sep 2020). Thank you very much. For the record, I checked my other RD-5R which was running an older version of the firmware. I don't remember which version —just updated to latest beta—, but it was from June 2020 if I'm not mistaken [hotspot o...

Re: Hotspot mode will be removed from the RD-5R firmware

I don't understand this decision. While the RD-5R might be far from being the best hotspot in the market, the HS mode is a nice feature to have.
