It is a matter of time slot operation

Post by Fecskebeka » Sat Jul 10, 2021 6:15 pm

Have a nice day!

(DM-1801 - 11:03:23 Jun 13 2121 built beta)

- display indication TS1 ,-2 and invers
- channel details menu - Time Slot: 1,2
- quick menu - TS filter: on,off
When is a filter condition? When is outgoing data?
I have a guess, but ..

Repeater mode?

They have no effect between two radios, no filtering.
I set anything in the places above.

Thanks!
Zsolt

It’s difficult to understand your question but I think you are asking about timeslots and simplex operation between radios.

When operating simplex (direct mode) between radios the timeslot is not relevant. Timeslot filtering and timeslot selection will have no effect, this is normal.

OpenGD77 does not support dual capacity direct mode which does use timeslots.

I apologize.
Yes, I was thinking about the simplex.
I guessed this was the case.

Thanks for the confirmation.
That's how I understand what happened.

Thanks again.

Yes, timeslot is only important when you are using a repeater.

Thx Colin.

Would it be physically possible for simplex mode?
Just a matter of programming?
Or it doesn’t really have much practical use.

There is a simplex mode that does use timeslots. It is called dual capacity direct mode. Many radios do support this including the original GD77 firmware. However it is not available in the openGD77 firmware.

DCDM is used by commercial users to get two conversations on one channel because each channel costs them money.
For amateur radio use where we do not pay for each channel there is little benefit and so there is not much urgency to develop it.

It is on the ‘to do’ list but there is no-one working on it at the moment.
