TG,s duplicated in disply rt3s and 1801

Post by PU4BLA » Sat Nov 19, 2022 2:16 pm

I'm a radio amateur in Brazil PU4BLA, my name is Gustavo Guilherme Carlo, my username appears wrong "gustavo carlos".
I started in ham radio in 1974. I have a doubt. How do I get just one TG on the screens of the retevis rt3s and baofeng ds1801 radios with openGD77. The TG's of my codeplug always appear duplicated. for example on the radio screen appears: 724 at the top and 724 at the bottom. I would like for TG to appear only once in display.
Congratulations on the great job.

Regards

Gustavo

Hi

I've changed your username to PU4BLA


Re: TG name appearing twice

The GD77 displays this on the 3 lines of the display


Digital Contact (Talkgroup or Private call)
Channel name
Zone name


If your TG is appearing on 2 lines of the display, then probably you called your channel name or the zone name the same as the TG

On OpenGD77, you do not need 1 channel per TG. Channel should be the name of the repeater e.g. VK3RMC

TG name should be the name of the TG e.g.
"TG 3803 VIC"
Or "Australia 505"
Or "TG9 TS1"

Or your choice of name

Add all Digital Contacts (TGs), to a TG list for that channel

e.g. "Brandmeister"


In Channel screen of the CPS, select Brandmesiter as the TG List for the channel


Then on the radio, pressing Left / Right changes the TG from the list

Easy.
