Hi All,
I implemented this in my own branch and it is easy to do. As already pointed out, as amateurs, we should check frequency clearance. I suggest putting this on long hold of orange since sk2 needs to be held down for other functions such as changing power or mode. I had it on hash in my own branch as I only use it on analog but Roger rightly pointed out it might be useful in DMR mode also. I save off the current code, set squelch to CODEPLUG_MIN_VARIABLE_SQUELCH, and then when the button is released, reset the squelch and code to their former values.
Now that I think about it some more, ya'all are right:
- SK1 and SK2 are the wrong place to do this.
- This should be available in ANY mode.
- ALL filtering should be disabled, including tone and digital coded squelch.
- The orange button/long press may well be a great place to do this !

P.S... I am currently running the NA7Q "branch" of firmware on both my GD77 and my DM1801, and I am not sure if this is just on his "branch";
- One short press of the orange button brings up the quick-menu starting with "Scan"..... And another press starts "Scan". (An excellent feature BTW !)
- NOTE: A long press of the orange button starts scan immediately !.... So there is potential for a conflict if the long orange button press was intentional.
- NOTE2: HOWEVER, reading his user notes suggests that this is UN-intentional, and therefore available for use as "monitor-frequency-no-squelch".
