Re: RD-5R calibration.

After using OpenRD5R more extensively, I’m simply blown away by how good it has become and evolved. I simply just ran OpenGD77 on a GD77 for a few years to have it run as a mmdvm. It’s done this well, powered off a battery eliminator, 24/7/365, but I never actually used it as a working HT. It just s...

Re: RD-5R calibration.

I did back up the flash. Restore it as flash or lower 64 flash and then just refladh the OEM firmware? EDIT: That didn't work. Still corrupted fonts. Is it possible to just HxD the fonts I want back int the OEM firmware? I have the fonts, but don't know what memory locations to change in the OEM fir...

Re: RD-5R calibration.

Spoke too soon. Now I get a corrupted screen after loading the OEM firmware. I know i ran into this before, but I can't remember what I did to fix it. Hoping someone here can jog my memory. Thanks

Re: RD-5R calibration.

Ah ok, the restore factory defaults in the radio (opengd77) menu itself. Found it and did it. Better yet, I got very lucky and discovered that I did make backups of everything when I first got the RD-5R in 2020. Had the calibration, EEPROM, MCU, etc, backups of my RD5R exactly from factory. Restored...

Re: RD-5R calibration.

How did your corrupt your calibration values Power loss during flashing. Why don't you just to a factory reset in the calibration screen. I'm not seeing a factor reset in calibration, only read/write and open/save. I checked my RD5R and its ref osc value is -48 for both VHF and UHF. Thank you. That...

RD-5R calibration.

Hello, Does anyone have a backup of their RD-5R calibration that they wouldn't mind sharing? My configuration became corrupted, Or at least tell me your VHF and UHF oscillator reference values for the RD-5R. I'm aware that each RD-5R may be different, but at least it might put it in the general area...
