OpenGD77

As I'm writing the code I wonder if the analog filter values should be "None" and "Tone" rather than "None" and "CTCSS" because when DCS features are eventually added I can't see how it would make any sense to have "None", "CTCSS", "CTCSS, DCS", and "DCS" options as opposed to just "None" and "Tone"...

This page on the wiki describes a method to use a speaker-mic while still connected to USB:

The options should change between DMR and FM (but don't at the moment) Thanks for confirming. However in this case, its possible the same option name can be used. However the text of the filter type would need to be "None" or "CTCSS". Yep, that's what I was thinking. Would use a separate enum becau...

Basically what you want is on the Quick menu, an option that has Rx CTSS:ON / OFF

I was thinking that the Filter option that's already in the Quick menu would have only two options in Analog mode: None and Tone. It's always struck me as weird to have digital filter options in Analog mode.

Think of this as a design proposal. Maybe there are some ideas here you like and maybe not. That's okay with me. First, I'd want the hardware band limits to take precedence over anything else. I don't want to ever TX outside of 136-174 and 400-470. For those who want to risk TX in the 220 band despi...

Basically what you want is on the Quick menu, an option that has Rx CTSS:ON / OFF This would also need to update the display and show that the Rx CTSS has been overridden off, by making it inverse video I don't personally have time to write the code to do this at the moment as I'm still working on ...

Do you have a lot if QRM? I set the Rx CTCSS on all my repeater channels to none all the time, and don’t have any problems. Fair point. I'll do some scanning with Rx tones disabled on all channels and see how many of those channels open the squelch but don't seem to have a real signal on them. I th...

Just set the Rx CTCSS on the channel to None I've been doing this and it's why I wrote to discuss something better. I'm happy to contribute the changes myself but I want to get you onboard with the idea before doing the work. Setting Rx CTCSS to None on just one channel takes a minimum of 8 button ...

We can disable a variety of digital filters now. How hard would it be to disable analog tone filters in the same way? This can be useful when a repeater filters out the incoming tone and doesn't add one. Particularly useful when your channels are programmed from a data source that's inaccurate. If i...

However we would need to overwrite the display fonts used by the official firmware, so that if you reloaded the official firmware it would not work. Would it help to put the OpenGD77 fonts in the same spot as the official firmware and in the same layout so that if someone does switch back to the of...
