Re: Release Candidate (2022 02 15)

The reason the settings get turned off when the radio is rebooted, is becasue they don't immediatly get saved. In general settings are only saved when you turn the radio off. For technical reasons the settings can't be saved immediatly because it causes the memory chips to literally wear out. On th...

Re: RD5R Firmware Questions

1. I downloaded what I believe to be the latest FW version for the RD5R, dated 11 July 2021. Is there a more recent FW? I pulled it from the downlods folder of this site. There is a newer beta version, please search the forum for details. The beta has a cool satellite mode! 2. If (for some reason) ...

RD-5R power switch

Another difference between RD-5R and GD-77 is the power switch. In GD-77 the switch is "soft", so before really switching off the GD-77 software has a chance to save the current channel. However, in RD-5R the power switch cuts the power off immediately, so the firmware does not run any more. So on R...

RD-5R

Be aware there are some limitations to the firmware on the RD5R. Hotspot does not work due to hardware limations and the 100Mhz band FM Rx does not work, because we have been unable to find a datasheet for that chip. We know the part number of the 100MHz FM radio chip, but all available data sheets...

Re: Sigh... Windows 11 and Apple M1 Mac

So you can't select the COM port manually in CPS? Another way is to use the CPS only for building your codeplug, but use Python program GD77transfer in Linux for uploading the codeplug file to your radio. You can download the latest version here: https://www.opengd77.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1864&p=...

Re: Hello from DJ1LA

Hi! In order to upload firmware (a .sgl file) to the radio, you must boot into bootloader mode (SK1+SK2+power on). Then the radio will appear as a HID device on your PC. The gd-77_firmware_loader.py script works fine in Linux, after you update the udev rules. For example, see the last two code secti...

For the diagram of keys see the User Guide, section The control keys and buttons

Flashlight is Fn+5 (called LED lighting in the diagram).

AFAIK, listening FM broadcast is not supported. See http://www.opengd77.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=891.
