Re: VOX tail for packet mode

Sure. In summary: - Disable the VOX pre-triggering timer - Remove the check for AUDIO_AMP_MODE_RF when doing getAudioAmpStatus( ) to allow VOX to transmit with an open squelch - Change the VOX tail time to a 10ms stepping (though in practice, the SNR threshold has some hold which means values below ...

Re: VOX tail for packet mode

The source code for all hardware platforms was released last week, you can download the source code and recompile it for your own radio and experiment with shorter vox tail settings We are unlikely include a setting of less than 0.5 seconds as its likely to be unreliable, and generally unusable and...

Re: 2023 Stable release version including source code

Congratulations on another milestone release of a stable version! Now that the whole licensing issue has been resolved (this code base is clearly and unambiguously licensed), would you consider uploading to and using a public repository again? There exist many GitHub repositories with the name OpenG...

Re: APRS beacon testers needed

Tried out smart mode in the car this evening. Unfortunately not much coverage in NW London (from Harrow down to Ealing and back), even going through a magmount on the roof I didn't hit aprs.fi even once. However I could hear every time it transmitted, and I have to say that smart mode was genuinely ...

Re: APRS beacon testers needed

One cool thing I've noticed is that it "saves up" the APRS timer, so if I'm on a memory channel (monitoring or having a QSO or whatever) and then I switch to VFO mode, the APRS packet is sent immediately upon change.

Re: APRS beacon testers needed

Installed, beaconing appears to work as described (both smart and auto), intervals work perfectly and messages decode correctly. I've set it on VFO mode at the moment and it transmits on the TX channel set. Usefully you can still TX manually when auto mode is on, and this seems to reset the decay ti...

Re: MD-UV380/390 source code

The source code was originally on Git but this casued all sorts of problems with people taking development code that was a work in progress and releasing the firmware on under their own name, on social media and other radio forums, with half finished new features before we had finished writing and ...

Re: Windows/Arm64 Driver

Right, to get a native driver they'd need to write one. But in theory there's no reason it shouldn't work under emulation. I was asking if anyone has worked out a workaround. For example, I've tried manually forcing it to be seen as a WinUSB device, but that didn't work. I've tried installing a modi...

Windows/Arm64 Driver

Hi folks, I have a Retevis RT-3S and it works superbly with OpenGD77. I initially upgraded the firmware using an x64 windows machine, however I don't always have access to that, so I installed Windows/Arm64 on a MacBook to have an environment where I can run windows programs. Using this image I can ...
