  1. My DMR radio hears just fine, but the best explanation for the high bit error rate on transmit Is some kind of frequency drift.

    I'm running OpenGD77 on an RD-5R, with an #OpenSpot4 as the hotspot.

    I can see two, maybe three ways forward.

    1. On the RD-5R, "Freq Adjust" from the calibration screen.
    2. On the OpenSpot4, "Autocal" as described by manuals.sharkrf.com/openspot4/
    3. Why not both?

    Of the two Autocal looks easiest, and it will get me the best diagnosis out of the box.

  2. #APRS
    #OpenGD77

    ¡Logrado!

    Ya configuré mi Radioddity GD-77 con la última versión beta que permite transmitir balizas APRS.

    ¡Feliz!

    Atingita!

    Mi jam agordis mian Radioddity GD-77 kun la plej nova beta-versio, kiu permesas elsendi APRS-signalojn.

    Feliĉa!

    Accomplished!

    I have already configured my Radioddity GD-77 with the latest beta version which allows to transmit APRS beacons.

    Happy!

    I use #Gpredict under #Linux and #Look4Sat under #android

    and I also use the follow firmware on GD77 & RT3s with GPS

    The #OpenGD77 firmware for the #Radioddity #GD77 is good, has voice prompts AOS, does doppler, polar view etc

    The OpenGD77 firmware has added to support extra hardware like TYT MD-UV380 / UV390 / Retevis RT-3S

    Hooray that #qdmr is available via brew! That's progress.

    I got a "segmentation fault" when I tried to use it on a radio that looks supported (OpenGD77 on RD-5R) but might not be. The writeup here

    github.com/hmatuschek/qdmr/iss

    should hopefully help in debugging, I am happy to experiment more or to RTFM if I missed something.

  5. Installed #OpenGD77 on my old #RD5R . No problems with the firmware installation, and at least some parts of my old code plug survived.

    The documentation is pretty good all in all, but since I have an RD-5R and not a #GD77 all of the references to which key does what are wrong. (There is no green button, there are two orange buttons etc.) I'll be able to work through it once I get some more hands on time.

    I'll figure out the analog side first.

    Old radio, new firmware = new radio!

  6. @w8emv I wasn’t aware that #OpenGD77 was available for the #RD5R. Thanks for the heads up.

  7. Setting up my Radioddity #RD5R so that I can flash #OpenGD77 to it. Happily, the programming cable for it was easy to locate - let's hope the battery is still in OK shape after some time being discharged.

  8. #OpenGD77 #Experience

    Today change the Radioddity firmware to OpenGD77 firmware and test the capabilities during the Radio Club Net.

    My radio has now 3 bands (2m, 1.25m and 70cm) and the power output is now selectable. Text messages is not available... yet.

    Today, during the Net, I can connect with the repeater with only 50mW of power. All reports was good and all colleagues said that my voice was clear.

    I'll be testing the capabilities but I recognize that the OpenGD77 team are great.

  9. Today I'm tested the #OpenGD77 firmware. Well, very well, but exist an ingredient to can accept it. The #SMS system.

    My idea is test the communication between #DMR, #APRS and #DPRS. I hope the next versions include this.
