Great work, thank you!

One question though, does the APRS TX gets triggered even there is an RX (squelch gets opened) on aprs frequency already?

[F1RMB]

Hi,

Nope. it will wait (except for Manual/PTT modes).


Cheers.

If I go to Settings->Display and change LED settings, then it flashes briefly a: "Day theme" pop-up message.
(I'm not changing the theme)
Should it work like that?

I downloaded the Beta 2023 11 19 version. Planning on buying a UV390 GPS. I do not see 390 in the title of the this latest firmware version, and have seen comments about the viabilility of the OpenGD firmware on the 390 model. Before I spend the money, will the 2023 11 19 version work on the UV390 GPS model. TNX
