Re: Documentation and user guide

I did think about possibly adding some system to send commands to the radio, to change menu and to simulate the buttons being pressed, so that it would be possible to automate this process, but I think it would take much longer to create the system to do this, than it would to manually set each men...

Re: keys and buttons

Got your email, Thierry. My mistake was uploading the latest file with a wrong filename (double .jpg, somehow made a mistake when renaming and uploading), hence it did not appear in the guide. Corrected now, and also the latest PDF. Just waiting for Roger to accept the pull request.

Re: Documentation and user guide

Another next step here would be to convert all the screen images into screenshots from CPS, if that's viable. Would take time, though.

Re: OpenGD77 with BlueDV for Windows

My bad. I plugged in the radio to the swr meter but the actual antenna cable was unplugged (I usually remove it as a lightning precaution).

As per my last check I was able to reach around 3Km at 3w with rolling terrain.

Re: OpenGD77 with BlueDV for Windows

I connected to my GP-1 antenna and drove around 3Km to fetch my daughter from school. I couldn't get past 50 meters away from the house, though, before I lose contact with the hotspot (even at 5w high power on my MD380). I must have done something wrong. Maybe connector issue? Or maybe the radio is...

Re: Good day from the philippines

The Tier 2 version was moved to the main branch about a month ago. The Tier 1 version is now parked in its own separate branch, just because the Hotspot mode in the Tier1 is stable and bug free, whereas the Hotspot mode in Tier2 still has bugs. Fixing the bugs in the Tier2 Hotspot is lower priority...

BlueDV does not seem to be quite as stable as MMVMHost / PiStar, but does work most of the time with the OpenGD77 in Hotspot mode.
Ill do a longer test run sometime this week.

How well does the gd-77 do as a hotspot connected to an aerial -- i'm curious? Does it get desensed?

Re: Good day from the philippines

Good day to you, from 4I1RAC, Angelo in Antipolo. You might notice that the Tier2 and main (Tier 1 + hotspot) versions are significantly different, as the main branch is more active and has almost daily updates. Hopefully, the main devs can get to incorporate the improvements in the Tier2 version so...
