Feature request - Global Tx Inhibit

Hello,

Please move this topic to the right forum if not in its place.

How about adding a global Tx Inhibit to the firmware?

Right now I have a channel for the repeater I monitor usually that's marked Rx Only, which does the job. But how about a more "durable" means?

Thanks for the hard work!

Re: Firmware on RD-5R

Good to know. Looks like the stock firmware is pretty cr*ppy. I think I will stay away from it. From what I can read, OpenGD77 seems to be the best option for this radio for ham use.

Merci, du Québec.

Re: Firmware on RD-5R

Yeah, I got that from my reading that Baofeng will write a test codeplug that's useless for my situation, and it's a given I'll have to make one myself. But still the question remains... Can I flash the firmware right away, or should I empty the radio beforehand?

Firmware on RD-5R

Hello guys, Waiting on my RD-5R to arrive and I plan to flash it with OpenGD77 as soon as I get it out of the box. Of course, I'll keep my options open and backup everything so I can get back on stock firmware. The question: Can i just flash OpenGD77 first, or should I load a codeplug to the radio, ...

Hello from Québec, Canada

Hello guys!

It's time for me to tinker with something new, and DMR is that project. I'm kind of the occasional amateur operator, but I work in IT, so I should feel right at home.

Just ordered a Baofeng RD-5R and can't wait for it to arrive.

See you in the forums. :)
