I have just tried the latest beta ver of the software, & I must congratulate all involved.
The DTMF dialer function is superb, and the spectrum scan is so good.

Well done to all for a fantastic upgrade to what I thought couldn't be improved on.

Keep up the good work.. :) :)

Hello Roger, first of all I would like to thank all of you developers for the enormous work to make this great software survive. About the problem with BlueDv as a hotspot even before the last OpenGd modification it was not working. I have tried to use the version of TCPUART 1.2 and everything is ok.

Thanks for this information.
I just tried, BlueDV is working with TCPUART until 1.2.3 (included). Something is broken in 1.3.x versions.


Cheers.

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for this information. I too was able to get BlueDV for Android working in Hotspot mode using TCPUART 1.2.3. Lots of people will be happy to know this.

Hi,

For the ones using the latest beta firmware on GD-77S models:
you must update your transceiver to the very latest beta (firmware file has been updated)
No new functionality has been added, only really annoying bugs were fixed.

It's available at the same location


Cheers.
