Re: New GD77's hard to find, discontinued?

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003029376818.html I just ordered one from your link. Also told me it was the last one and would not let me buy 2. I had to buy the British wall adapter. The charging bases I've always seen with the GD77 are 12v, just trash it and power it off your bench power sup...

Re: Dual Watch feature

I think he wants "priority channel" while scanning... But that's mostly commercial thing. No it's not a "commercial thing", I use that frequently to monitor a repeater or simplex while scanning. It's pretty terrible on single receiver radios, but it at least lets you hear priority traffic, even if ...

Re: New GD77 Beta - April 2022 (2022 04 09)

Testing now, excited about the AGC but not 100% sure of the use cases, could someone explain when to use it and how it works? Off I assume is normal, but I'm not sure what to make of the 0-45db settings. Does that mean it'll boost the audio up to 45db? 45 is likely not normally a useful setting, but...

Re: Using GD-77 with a PiStar hotspot

I wouldn't worry about testing it, you can always revert. You don't need any special version of Pi-Star, it's been directly supported for at least a year, so just latest release version is perfectly fine. Hotspot mode lets you use another DMR radio to use your Hotspot basically like a local repeater...

Re: Stable release (2022 02 28)

Reference oscillator tuning in OpenGD77 is what you'd want to adjust. You should also calibrate your Hotspot as well, as they are rarely exactly on frequency. This page explains how to do it: http://www.k9npx.com/2019/02/hotspot-offset-calibration.html Just try to keep in mind that you want correct...

Re: Batch file to create your preferred DMR ID database

Quick looking at the script, it's always a bad idea to not surround variables with double quotes, as the variable could be empty at some point, hence condition testing will trigger a syntax error, e.g: Yes, I usually do that with strings but was thinking that numeric comparisons this would not work...

Re: Batch file to create your preferred DMR ID database

dmr-filter.sh: line 56: [: -gt: unary operator expected First thing to try is changing the very top line to #!/bin/bash, I normally do this to make 100% sure bash is used, I had forgotten here. You might be running it on some older sh here, I've ran into that issue on some other distros where /bin/...

Re: Baby Monitor

This firmware is specifically only for ham radio usage; unless your screaming infant is licensed I think perhaps you should just buy a baby monitor.
