Re: Update 7th Feb

I reproduce it by weak signal or the other method I'll mention. If I am on the opposing timeslot, I can tilt the radio horizontally to lose the signal, when I go back vertically, the signal comes back, and you hear the incorrect timeslot. For me this is as simple as being indoors and moving around ...

Re: Update 7th Feb

I have tested the incorrect timeslot heard bug, and it is still be present for me. You beat me to the UHF calibration fix. I had spotted that last night. OK. I we probably need a more complex solution, or possibly need to reset the timecode variable in some other places in the code. What's a good w...

So far, everything seems stable using my build on this new code. I've uploaded a new version https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbour...

Re: NA7Q - Unofficial Firmware Build [2/3]

Have you calibrated your 1 and 5 watt levels out of curiosity? I will probably revert it to the original version, but keep a secondary build with my custom offsets, which appear to be more accurate according to my meter. Do you have a meter you could check your levels with? As for the mic gain, the...

Re: Addition power settings?

Forking the repo will make it much easier to keep things up to date, as you can use git to pull and merge from my repo. Sometimes there will be merge conflicts which you will need to handle yourself, but most of the time, git should be able to automatically merge things I pretty well do the merging...

Re: Addition power settings?

Ideally, you should have "forked" my repo using the github "fork" feature, as this retains the linkage with my repo. You repo looks like its totally independent, and not derived from mine Loads of other people have forked my repo https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/OpenGD77/network/members Going...

Re: NA7Q - Unofficial Firmware Build [2/4]

Updated to fix the power level 1 to 5 watts. If anyone has a watt meter, I'd like to hear the results! :)

Re: Addition power settings?

txPower = (((powerLevel - 6.8) * stepPerWatt) * 0.90) + trxPowerSettings.lowPower; I changed this to 6.8 compared to the original 3. This gave perfect results. Wasn't sure if there was something hidden away. I tend to hack things into pieces until it works. Then smash it with a hammer and hope for ...

Re: Addition power settings?

Calibration across radios is certainly different. I took the stock calibration from the new source code, and it tossed my low power levels off a bit. 50mw was 150mw. But I suppose that is expected. I also noticed I get 4.5 watts out on the 3 watt setting. I haven't done any calibration in the CPS h...

Re: NA7Q - Unofficial Firmware Build [2/3]

I installed the build and all seems well. I do notice the 50 mW appears lower than the "standard" version. I noted S9+24 dB on my hot spot and now it shows S9+11 dB with this version. The 10 mW setting does not reach the hotspot which is 10 meters away. I also typically use the MIC Gain of +12dB bu...
