Re: FYI - GPS

Could you also supply backup power to the GPS module, this would improve the time to achieve GPS lock considerably Perhaps a resistor and a zener diode from the main battery or a low power 3.3V regulator, or perhaps a connection to the MCU backup/RTC battery I've done a lot of testing of new GPS an...

Re: FYI - GPS

Excellent job! The house for the new antenna was excellent :!: I just had a doubt, did you remove the rf amplifier from the new antenna and put it on the radio pcb? I'm happy with your results. Thanks for sharing the mod Best 73s CU7AAZ Yes, I try to combine two schemes. It's amazing. I want to ale...

Thanks for reminding!
Another knowledge blind spot.
I have adjusted.

I found a duplex board using ceramic antenna. How about this?

Re: Pi-Star cannot receive OpenGD77's signal

Note that the Pi-Star running on "JumboSpot" hardware (with one of the radio "hat" boards on a Raspberry Pi) have a Software defined Radio chip without Automatic Frequency Control implemented. This means that the fine adjustment of the center of the radio's reception frequency is necessary, and the...

Re: Pi-Star cannot receive OpenGD77's signal

This is normal. I can't use my MD-380 and GD-77 on the same hotspot, even running the official firmware on both radios, also my Baofeng DM-1801 doesn't work with any of my hotspots unless I significantly change the settings in the hotspot. You could try adjusting the calibration, Reference Oscillat...

Re: Pi-Star cannot receive OpenGD77's signal

Hi Marko Thank you for your help! I uesd “pistar-mmdvmcal”, and calibrated my Pi_Star(RXOffset 600). It can receive calls from MD760. But now it cannot receive MD380's calls. Restore configuration to 0(RXOffset 0 and TXOffset 0), MD380 Works very good. So, the frequency of MD380 and the simplex boar...

When I pushing the PTT, The Radio is trying to connect the simplex board. But the simplex board does not respond, and the LED light is not on. I used a...
