CPS for latest alpha compatible with GD-77 Stable FW?

Post by wa2n » Sat Dec 24, 2022 9:31 pm

I have several GD-77's all programmed with the 2-28-2022 stable release and the CPS that was available at that time. Can the latest CPS that supports the Retivis RT3S be used with the GD-77's? I have a RT3S coming and don't want to change the GD-77's as they're working well. Tnx, Wayne WA2N

The structure of the codeplug has not changed, so the latest CPS should still work with the older firmware as far as I am aware, although it is not something that will have been thoroughly tested.

Thanks. I bit the bullet and updated all the GD-77's to latest alpha and loaded the latest CPS first. Loading the firmware on the RT-3S was easy and the codeplug slid right in. Also was able to load the entire callsign database! Thanks guys, nice work.

I had an issue with the CPS this morning. I have been running it on a Virtual machine for a few days. This morning It would not start as it has been all week and here is the starting error that comes up:

I am technically inclined but I am no expert so I hope posting this debugging log helps somebody figure out what just happened to mine.

UPDATE: A friend suggested running the application and try to open an older codeplug file since the software tried to open the latest file. Somehow the codeplug file was corrupted and would make the CPS glitch. Once I loaded a fresh codeplug it stopped spitting out this error and everything is working as expected.
I want to leave this post in case somebody runs into the same issue.
