Reduce RT3S TX power in Hotspot mode running BlueDV?

Running RT3S in Hotspot mode with BlueDV and everything works great but...

Is there a way to reduce the TX power of the RT3S from 1W to 50mW?

I'm not sure if this is possible and certainly can't find any information in searches.

I have tried setting the radio to 50mW before enabling Hotspot mode and also moving the slider in BlueDV but nothing seems to have any effect.

Power in Hotspot mode is controlled by the host application. In your case BlueDV.

Look in the BlueDV documentation, or contact the BlueDV developer

Hi,

Since BlueDV doesn't set the power, you have to set the power on the transceiver itself before starting the hotspot.

Cheers.

Thank you for the reply Daniel.

I had tried this many times before but I was setting the power in the memory channel rather than the VFO!

Your reply made me look at the settings again and it is now set how I want.

Many thanks.

First of all, I learned how to adjust the TX power from this page, thank you very much. My question is, is there a place where we can choose Color Code and Time Slot? VFO mode does not work.

If you're asking for BlueDV, it seems it always use CC 1. About the TS, as it's simplex, it's always TS2.
If it's about the FW config, I suggest you to read the user manual (VFO permits the same config as Channel): https://github.com/LibreDMR/OpenGD77_Us ... r_Guide.md
