Re: Preferred way to setup Contacts and Channels

Then when should a Contact have a time slot specified? On the dominant ( :( non-BrandMeister) repeater system in my area , most talkgroups are configured only on one timeslot. For example the 9999 Audio Test talkgroup is only on TS2 and the 9998 Parrot echo test is only on TS1. Then I'd only config...

Re: [Testers Needed] GD-77 Firmware Loader for Linux and OS-X

Python loader worked nicely for me too, and didn't need to unbind the HID driver, though it did (without any udev rules) require root on the box I tested it on. I think that probably this means that we don't actually need to unbind the HID driver, but need to point the .NET loader at a different dev...

Re: [Testers Needed] GD-77 Firmware Loader for Linux and OS-X

Well, it took me 8 hours to install mono-complete on a RPi 3 A+ :-D Replace the udev rules file with the attached one, then execute the following (or reboot): sudo udevadm control --reload-rules Cheers. Yikes. 8 hours is a long time. Possibly a faster MicroSD would work better. I'm sure it didn't t...

Re: [Proposal] RX Frequency and Offset in Channel Mode

I try not to hand manage anything in the CPS, but instead use scripts to generate the data. A restriction to have unique channel names seems an arbitrary limitation of the CPS since the radio clearly doesn't enforce it or have a reason to. The data sources I use (BrandMeister repeater database and m...

Re: [Proposal] 80 Channels per zone

If there's a way to indicate that the codeplug is either stock or some version of OpenGD77, the code could be organized to have load / save routines specific to each format. Then we could experiment with whatever data layout we'd like to try without breaking anyone. May even be able to do it in a wa...

Re: Any BM Talkgroup for OpenGD77 users?

According to https://confluence.brandmeister.network/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=5374041 "the BrandMeister DMR network allow the utilization of any valid talkgroup number." What valid means is left an exercise for the user, but it seems that international talkgroups should start with 9, and if I re...

[Proposal] RX Frequency and Offset in Channel Mode

Hello, I sent a pull request for a feature that would display the RX frequency and the offset at the very bottom of the display. It's not perfect and I'm requesting feedback. Here are some samples of what it looks like. 69840985-5439b200-1212-11ea-8e6c-3b71093bcb5a.png 69890403-91549000-1349-11ea-94...

Re: [Testers Needed] GD-77 Firmware Loader for Linux and OS-X

Looks like the udev file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-gd77.rules is missing, as usbdev has claimed the interface. The udev rule is definitely present. I'm unsure why it's not working. It did work the first time I tried it. I also tried rebooting but this didn't help. I haven't figured out how to debug udev...

Re: DMR filtering by CC TS and TG

Alternative on FM it could display if Rx CTCSS is enabled and show the CTCSS frequency
That would be great. Often you'd want to have an Rx CTCSS programmed into a channel, but may want to disabling it without the channel forgetting what it is, for example to listen to some interfering traffic.
