Retevis RT90 V4A Keplarian Data Empty File

Post by NA1Q » Mon Mar 04, 2024 10:59 pm

Hi everyone,

I just recently dug out my Retevis RT90 after taking it out of the truck when I had an unplanned medical disability retirement back in August. Figured kind of pointless to keep a radio in a truck that sits for days a a time and gets driven only a few minutes every other day, I used to have a 45 minute commute each way when I was working prior to August 22nd 2023. Having this radio made those commutes fly by in no time.
So anyways, I recently updated the Open GD77CPS to the latest version, R.2024.01.22.01. I was using the Open GD77 CPS version R.2023.08.01.01 prior to this and it would load the keps no issue and the files would be there.
o now I went to the latest version and when I load the keps, it says Upload Complete, AO27, AO91, CAS3H, FO11, HADES-D, ISS, PO101, SO50, TEVEL2, TEVEL3, TEVEL4, TEVEL5, TEVEL6, TEVEL7.
Then I go to the RT90 and enter Satellite mode, and it sits with a blank screen. After hitting the UP and Down controls I get Pass None and List Empty.

I know I'm missing something here, any ideas or suggestions to get this running with the newer satellites?

Keps file format got updated several months ago

Use the latest CPS and latest firmware, otherwise you are likely to have a data missmatch
