Hello Roger and Daniel,

how can I change the minutes within the time zone?

You can't set a Timezone to individual minites, the maximum resolution is 15 minutes.

AFIK, wowhere on earth has a TimeZone that needs resolution of better than 15 minutes.

I am investigating how to do this, but for people with both a GD77 and a Md9600 it could be a bit confusing, as the powers listed in the menu would change only depending on the Radio Type they selected from the menu.

Maybe when opening the CPS
-> hand-held device (GD77)
or
-> Mobile device (MD9600/RT90)
choose

Look for the Retevis RT-90. That is the same radio and is still available. Retevis.eu claims it has them in stock.

Hello,
you have to be careful with Retevis.eu, they cannot deliver a new device at the moment. I ordered 1 month ago and received a used device - I sent it back! Still waiting for a new device !

The V5 hardware uses different IF chips to the earlier radios so the RSSI values will be different. It won’t affect the operation of the radio, only the signal strength display.

I don’t have a V5 radio but Roger does. Maybe the RSSI needs to be adjusted to suit individual radios.

Colin.
