I am sorry but your description is very difficult to understand. Maybe due to the difference in languages.
Please try again to describe your problem, so we can give you an accurate answer.

I'll try.
When working through a duplex repeater, I noticed the following:
1. People are talking in TS1.
2. I go to TS2 to make a private call.
3. As soon as I select a contact for a private call, the radio starts broadcasting what is happening in TS1. TS filter enabled, DMR filter disabled.
4. Exactly the same thing happens when you call TG 4000, TG9, TG1, PARROT on the screen.

I hope that's clearer.

OK I understand now.

At first I could not reproduce your results.
Then I tried allocating a timeslot to the contact in the contact list. It then behaved as you describe, which is how it is supposed to work.

The Open GD77 firmware has an additional feature over most DMR radios. In the Contacts list as well as specifying the talkgroup ID you can also specify a timeslot. If that is set the the radio will always change to that timeslot when you select the contact.

If you wish to use the contact on both timeslots you should make sure that the contact list entry has the timeslot set to 'None' .

On the radio:-
MENU/Contacts/DMR Contacts/Select Contact/Edit Contact/Timeslot:None

In the CPS:-
Contacts/Digital Contacts/Select Contact/Repeater Slot Disabled

This is not a new feature, it has been there a long time.

To see if the display will be suitable for my eyesight.

What for you need this? https://www.google.com/search?q=opengd7 ... hYENeV4qzM

I own a GD-77, but not a RT-3S. I apologize for my ignorance, but I think that I need to have a RT-3S or MD-UV380 to do a screengrab within the CPS.

Hi,
Could someone please post images of the RT-3S display with the OpenGD77 firmware installed, in both normal and inverted? If there is a difference, could someone please post the same for the MD-UV380?

I looked at Roger's videos on YouTube, but was looking for static images, if possible.

If they already exist somewhere on here, could someone please point me to them?

Thanks for your help and a big thanks to the team for this awesome project!

Thanks,
Rich

You can generate your own images using the screengrab function in the OpenGD77 CPS

Some RT3S screengrabs , but it looks tinier on the display compared to the screengrabs.

OK I understand now.

On the radio:-
MENU/Contacts/DMR Contacts/Select Contact/Edit Contact/Timeslot:None

In the CPS:-
Contacts/Digital Contacts/Select Contact/Repeater Slot Disabled

That is how I have established it. And has always been established.
At 1801 it works correctly, no RT3s.


PS
I recorded the version of the alpha 2022-10-24-01-everything works correctly in this version.

Some photos , I have still the screenprotection from factory on it.

In that case I am sorry but I cannot reproduce your results.

I was listening to a QSO on slot one of the repeater.
I pressed * to switch to slot 2. The QSO was not heard.
I selected a contact from the contact list.
The radio stayed on Slot 2 and I could make the call as expected.
Pressing * again switched back to Slot 1 and the QSO returned.


I can only suggest that you reset your settings to default by holding SK2 while powering on. Just in case one of your settings has been corrupted.

I have 2 records for each repeater (2 channels) - for TS1 and for TS2. Do you think it is necessary to make one channel and switch between timeslots "*"? It seems to me that this is not very convenient. This has been done for a long time, it works on 1801 and on RT3S (on all alpha versions up to 2.11.2022).

Why don't you define TS overrides on the TGs, then you don't need 2 separate TG lists and 2 separate channels.
