Operation on simplex HS and disabled TS filter

Hi! When operating on a simplex hotspot with TS filter disabled, the received TG (even if it matches the current TX TG) is displayed randomly either in normal or in inverse text, depending on the timeslot which the radio is receiving (simplex hotspots transmit the same on both timeslots) - if it cat...

Closed Beta Testing ?

Hi! I would like to be a beta tester of the closed development of the OpenGD77 firmware. If my memory is right, I have two accepted pull requests to the code (bug fixing the analog mode properties setting and the DTMF timing), which I believe, show my interest and willingness to help with the develo...

Re: On "Profiteering" and Free Software

Unfortunately. I now see that people started to use the firmware for their commercial operations, not just selling it as a chargeable upgrade. So writing any form limitations is obviously pointless. :-( What about creating a simple download page, which states in big red letters that this software i...

Re: On "Profiteering" and Free Software

@ok1pt I have spoken to the all the active developers and they are very unhappy about this. I know Kai would not be happy either, as he specifically stated in the license that this is non-commercial. So it doesn't really matter about the legality or otherwise. If this persists, I the developers hav...

Re: On "Profiteering" and Free Software

Hi there! At first: I also believe that the person who wants to "profiteer" on hard work of the developers doesn't do anything illegal, and that he is just targeted on stupid people which will give him money instead of using their own brain and installing the software by their own, free of charge. I...

Re: calibrazione personalizzata

Sustained use of the radio at the 5W++ power setting will damage the PA FET. Hi! Is it so dangerous even in the digital mode, where the Tx is operating approximately half of the transmit time ? I understand the FET will toss out in continuous analog mode, but in DMR, the average power will be 4W fo...

Re: Disabled CC filter causes problems to start reception

CC filtering works differently to the other filters. It involves programming the HRC6000 decoder chip to work in a non standard way. Normally the CC is used by the chip to confirm that it is correctly synchronised to the incoming signal. Turning off CC filtering removes this check, as a result the ...

Disabled CC filter causes problems to start reception

Hi! At least in the development release from Oct. 4th, but probably in the earlier versions as well, there is a problem with disabled CC filter (not speaking about the "monitor" mode from the very latest release). When the CC filter is disabled, the following sequence happens when a regular, continu...

Re: Improvements of the DTMF Contact sending

Hi! Am I stupid or what ? It really works! But it didn't work during the first run after installation. I don't know why. All the values except CPS started at 100ms and ended at 1000ms. I tried it by up as well as down arrows, and I didn't get 0. The only possible explanation is that my relatively un...

Re: Improvements of the DTMF Contact sending

Hi! So, I tested your "very development" binary release. And I have hints for making it better :-). 1) CPS problem: In original CPS, items "First digit length" and "* # length" can be set to 0. In our CPS it's not possible. 2) In the firmware: Original firmware evaluates these values and ADDS them t...
