Re: RD-5R codeplug to OpenRD-5R codeplug

I see that the Radioddity 4.3.6 firmware must be installed first; do we know that this works on the Baofeng DM-5R?
Amateur radio firmware for the GD-77, GD-77S, DM-1801, DM-1801A, RD-5R, MD-9600/RT-90, MD-UV380/RT-3S, DM-1701/RT-84 and MD2017/RT-82 radios

Sure you can, if you follow the rules, like making a copy of the Flash/EEPROM etc, after OpenGD77 firmware installation (all steps are listed in the installation procedure). You'll be able to flash the MANUFACTURER's firmware, using the MANUFACTURER's tools.
Wrong, this a donor firmware, installation of the Radioddity's firmware is never mentionned anywhere.
I was just following these instructions:
For legal reasons the OpenGD77 firmware no longer contains the binary sections, from the official Radioddity firmware, which provide the DMR / AMBE codec functionality
To use the OpenGD77 firmware with DMR functionality, must manually download and unzip the official "Firmware and software" package and extract the GD-77_V4.3.6.sgl file, so that the Firmware loader can merge the OpenGD77 firmware with the codec from the official firmware
On the Radioddity website, Support for Radioddity radios page https://www.radioddity.com/pages/radioddity-download Click on the GD77, and select the "GD-77 Firmware V4.3.6 [Ham Version]" link.
At the moment this is the link directly to this download the zip file: https://radioddity.s3.amazonaws.com/202 ... ersion.zip
After downloading the file, extact the GD-77_V4.3.6.sgl file from the "Firmware software V4.3.6" folder
In the CPS, Firmware loader screen, you must first select the location you saved the GD-77_V4.3.6.sgl file, by pressing the "Select Firmware v4.3.6" button. After the location of the file is selected the CPS will remember the location of the file and use it for all future upload of firmware to the radio
I bet there are some others RD-5R firmware topics on the forum, this one (you created) is about the the codeplug (think about other users looking for information about RD-5R firmware, they will search associated topics, not codeplug ones).
So you make 2 digital contacts for that TG e.g.W9YA wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2023 2:14 pmWell yes this will work UNTIL you have a TG that on one repeater is on one TS and on another repeater is on the other TS. -> We have 9 DMR repeaters on three different networks in my local area, and (ehem) this configuring the TG to a specific TS and a repeater to ONLY ONE channel (setting) would be a problem. (So we don't....hi hi.)
IF'n all ya'all want to see how we do it here; here's "da link":

This is configured with the frequencies and colour code and a 'TG List' which is set up separately. That TG list contains all of the talkgroups you may wish to use on that repeater. The same TG list can be used for several repeaters. Talkgroups can be assigned to a specific timeslot or left unassigned.
In use you select the repeater you require using the channel selector, then select the talkgroup you wish to use using the arrow keys. If the talkgroup is assigned to a specific timeslot it will be selected automatically. If the timeslot is unassigned you can select it manually using the star key.
Yep, exactly, one could do TS assignments EITHER &/or ANY-WHICH-A way(s) ! Perhaps I SHOULD have said as much. Mea culpa.

TG1234 TS1 and
TG1234 TS2
Digtital contacts can have a TS override
and you can still have TG1234 which does not specify a TG override as well
So we can sell the HT with OpenFirmware still on it?F1RMB wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 5:06 amSure you can, if you follow the rules, like making a copy of the Flash/EEPROM etc, after OpenGD77 firmware installation (all steps are listed in the installation procedure).

What's wrong with this ?
