Re: Custom tx, rx tones

Yes you have a cool project and if you don’t share it with anyone we all sit here and post till we get denied access after all. beer is free, speech isn’t? I've been following this project for a while and what I've come to realize is that it's not entirely open. The developers seem to be doing this...

Re: Custom tx, rx tones

Is there any idea when it's gonna be considered that the firmware is stable enough to be released? There haven't been any new betas or bug reports in months, I suppose everyone is mostly happy with it. I'm not asking to pressure you in any way, but I've been using it in both the MD-9600 and MD-UV390...

Re: Paying for someone to port the firmware to other radios

No… I wasn’t saying any of that. I was saying that if the problem with the new MD-UV380 radios with a CPU clone is that none of the developers have one and they cannot investigate why the firmware is not working, then the community could buy a couple of these for them. I was throwing that as an idea...

Paying for someone to port the firmware to other radios

Just to throw ideas, I know this project's policy is against donations, but how about opening a PayPal account or something similar just for buying a couple of these new type of radios for the developers? That way we can all chip in and the project could continue, if the new CPUs are just copies and...

Re: FYI - GPS

It's amazing. I want to alert friends that the antenna is active. This dear RT3S uses a passive gps antenna. But no problem, to make the work easier, I advise you to remove the pcb components and then connect the small coax directly to the (positive) of the antenna and of course not forgetting the ...

Re: FYI - GPS

Hello everybody! Finally! New GPS antenna installed. Excellent results! 28db antenna, installed on top of the radio. When activating the gps, in one minute the gps starts to receive the satellites. Amazing, I wasn't expecting it. Indoors, he obtained 9 satellites. (And with the exact location of my...

Re: Alpha 2022 12 15

Hello, I think I found a small bug related to the Eco levels. This is how to replicate it: 1. Select any Eco level. The radio needs to be in 'Beep' prompt mode. 2. Enter the main menu (or really any menu, but it doesn't happen in the Channel or VFO screens). 3. Leave the radio untouched for, more or...

Re: Loud 'click' after speaker is turned off // Recommended power supply?

The loud click was a problem on the early versions of the 9600. Then the factory fixed it for a while, and then re-introduced it on the latest version! If only these chinese brands did a bit of testing before mass producing these radios... But at least this problem can be solved (unlike the MD-UV39...

Loud 'click' after speaker is turned off // Recommended power supply?

Hi all! A couple weeks ago I received my V5 MD-9600 and I've been testing the firmware, the radio gets excepcionally better with the open firmware. However, each time a 'beep' is played, or after receiving a signal (aka, each time the speaker is turned off), you can hear a loud 'click', especially a...
