I'm already running the test with CC on.
Let's give it 48h as the reboots always occured within that time frame.

Becasue of the problems we constantly have with "CC Filter" this option will be removed from the QuickMenu(s)

CC scanning will still be available as part of Monitor Mode (Hold SK2), so the functionality to determine the CC of a DMR signal is not removed entirely, its only the "CC Filter" disabing option which is removed.

Just to say again what has been said many time before the DMR chip (C6000) does not support disabling of the CC Filter.
We use an algorithm to scan for the CC of the received signal

It has become clear its not possible to scan for the CC under all conditions e.g. when signals of unknown protocol are being received. or perhaps even just random QRM signals.
Doing this seems to cause a crash the firmware for some people, and this may be caused by bugs in the C6000 DMR chip.

So our only option is to remove the ability to constantly scan for CC, so that the radio only scans for the CC when the operator uses monitor mode and the signal appears to be DMR.
Hi.
I don't know if this information helps at all, but until version 2021 10 02 I didn't have this reboot problem with the CC filter disabled. Thanks to the developers for their efforts. 73

In old versions we were constantly receiving on both TS1 and TS2 but this caused other bugs because the C6000 DMR chip does not seem to be able to do this correctly

After changing to only listen to one TS1 at a time, this seems to have removed the ability to constantly scan for the CC

There may possibly be a workaround for both situations, but because technically the C6000 does not support Rx unless tgye CC is known, we will have to only do what the C6000 seems capable of doing for all users

Probably the reason that only some people have these crashes is internal timing differences in each C6000 chip.

But we can only release Stable firmware which works for everyone

Hello,
I have 3 GD 77 S / N 1803Axxxx with the new release installed on 15-2 Eco 1, I have not had any restart or lock on any of them are working in scan or fixed channel for about 16 hours a day with DMR and Analog signals, the previous release one of these had that problem that every x restart, the CC mode I tried it in ON and Off but nothing has changed everything works (isn't that the S / N 17xxx have this problem ??? )

available

I have 4 Radioddity GD-77 radios, since the
Public Beta (2021 09 14) NEVER HAD ANY TYPE OF PROBLEM. I've already subjected the equipment to several temperature variations from 0.3 degree negative to 50ºc (degrees) The only "bug" I checked was on the date 2022-02-09 NOW FIXED.
Eco 1. At the moment, 33 hours in operation, everything is perfect.

One more comment.
When I switch back to cc filter on mode.
The radio noise barrier does not open to the dmr signal.
Only if I press the PTT key at least once.
I remember it might have worked well before.

yes, CC Filter off
Can you confirm with CC Filter ON, that the firmware does not reboot ?
Yes, after 49h without reboot I can confirm, that.
