Re: Modification of the Radioditty charger with "TP5100" card at $ 2.

I bought a couple of these 5100 boards locally, dropped them in with no other components and they are quiet as a mouse :) I also picked up a new plug pack

Re: GD-77 not as forgiving of hotspot alignment?

Thanks Roger, I certainly appreciate your input - and of course this awesome firmware that you and the team have designed. I might experiment a bit more with the hotspots (both low and high power) and see if I can figure out the magic formula. I really like the way OpenGD77 works and it's near perfe...

Re: GD-77 not as forgiving of hotspot alignment?

Yes I think I'll fire up an sdr receiver maybe with SDR# and see what that tells me - good thinking :D I could have a play with the TX offset value. Mmdvmcal might be handy too Although my high power hotspot is a Motorola radio programmed on frequency so it should be accurate, but exhibits the same ...

Re: GD-77 not as forgiving of hotspot alignment?

TA-Tx is definitely off, it's only an issue on TS1 for some reason and it's also only an RX problem on the radio, Tx is fine. I've spent the morning playing around with the DMR TXLevel in the hotspot and at 42 (down from 50) it's reasonably useable so I'm pretty sure it's just an alignment issue. I'...

Re: GD-77 not as forgiving of hotspot alignment?

Hi Ian That could be the case, although even my low power hotspot is not good on TS1 but perfect on TS2. I don't know the answer at the moment but I am close to selling the radios and sticking with my D878. But I really love this firmware, it is a delight to have a radio that operates in a way desig...

GD-77 not as forgiving of hotspot alignment?

Hi all I've been using MD-390's and the AT-878 with both my high power hotspot (Motorola radio plus STM32-DV) and the usual pi based hotspots. None of my pi based hotspots are clones, they are all genuine boards from DF2ET/DB9MAT etc. The first thing I found was that the GD77 did not sound at all go...

Another happy ZL OpenGD77 user

Hi all Roger and team - you've done an awesome job with this radio and the new firmware, thanks very much! I've owned a GD-77 once before but compared to my MD-380 at the time it didn't tick all the user boxes so I sold it on. With OpenGD77 I have just bought another one and it's great! So good in f...

Re: Hi

Hi Mark

Do you by any chance have a full code plug for ZL done for OpenGD77? Otherwise I'll start on one :)

Cheers
