#qdmr — Public Fediverse posts

Reverse engineered the Radtel RT-4D codeplug in detail. I'll now implement it in #qdmr.

In the mean time I may entertain you with some observations: The CPS reads the plain-text programming password from the device and prevents programming if it is set and does not match the entered one. The radio happily accepts every read and write request irrespective of any password being set.

Just released #qdmr version 0.15.0 adding support for the AnyTone D168UV. Beside a lot of bug fixes, the general settings tab has been extended. So some settings that has been device-specific, are now common across several devices.

Just merged the AnyTone AT-168UV support into #qdmr. So the 0.15.0 release is coming soon. Happy testing.

Just released #qdmr version 0.14.1. It contains some bug-fixes and adds a proper satellite transponder dialog for setting transponder frequencies.

You mention under "install", that #qdmr is in the Arch repo. It isn't, it's only available through AUR.

Just released #qdmr 0.14.0. This feature release adds AM (air band) channels and support for the Baofeng DM-32UV. Happy testing!

It may not look like much, but #qdmr is reading and writing (likely buggy) codeplugs to a DM32UV. The 0.14.0 release may need some more time. The DM32UV will bring a new channel type to qdmr: AM channels.

I've just released #qdmr version 0.13.3. This is a small quick-fix release addressing some crashes. It should land in your package manager soon.

I (likely) just fixed a bug in #qdmr, that only appears under MacOS X. Can someone test it? It should fixed in the branch associated with the ticket https://github.com/hmatuschek/qdmr/issues/760.

Alex (https://www.meshmeld.com/) completely reverse engineered the protocol and codeplug memory structure of the Baofeng DM32UV :radio_handheld: (https://github.com/infamy/DM32-Protocol-Spec). This enables me to implement support for the device in #qdmr :alex_partying:. Alex also started a web CPS for it: https://www.meshmeld.com/NeonPlug/

First attempt at receiving #sstv from #RS38S was a bust. It was also the first time I tried to program my GD77 with qdmr. I think I got that wrong.

After some intense days, I am happy to announce the release of #qdmr 0.13.2.

This is just a bug-fix release, but it is now fully translated in Italian 🇮🇹.

For an overview of all changes, see https://github.com/hmatuschek/qdmr/releases/tag/v0.13.2

Which radio to buy? Support for the following radios was requested over at https://github.com/hmatuschek/qdmr/issues To implement any of these for #qdmr, I will likely need to buy it. So I may ask the internet, which one to buy first.

#qdmr 0.13.0 is out. Actually, the 0.13.1 too, as the latter had some serious packaging issues. This release also marks the switch to Qt6. So package maintainer may need to touch a view things in their scripts. (Also add rsvg-convert as a dependency, while you are at it.) For a full changelog, see https://github.com/hmatuschek/qdmr/releases/tag/v0.13.0

Some last changes are in. So I'll release #qdmr version 0.13.0 soon (this weekend). If you want to participate in updating translations, have a look at https://translate.codeberg.org/projects/qdmr/graphical-user-interface/

Just released the bugfix release 0.12.3 for the bugfix release 0.12.2 of #qdmr. Hope, that it fixes a lot of the issues, raised in the last months.

Almost done... A few more utter useless settings and the AnyTone D878UV codeplug for FW 3.05 is reverse engineered.

With the new tool (anytone-emu), I hope to keep #qdmr up to date more easily.

Things I discover during reverse engineering for #qdmr: AnyTone engineers appear to be a fans of the metric system. For them a second is the 1/100th part of a minute. Nice, not even the French revolution managed to fix that.

Either the ISS crew is going to be sick or the orbital element programming of #qdmr is still a bit buggy. :alex_sigh:

It is done. #qdmr version 0.12.1 is released (https://github.com/hmatuschek/qdmr/releases/tag/v0.12.1) with a long awaited update of the OpenGD77 support. I hope it gets packaged soon (Debian package is already submitted).

One last issue to resolve, so the release of #qdmr version 0.12.1 is near with a ton of bug fixes and updated support for OpenGD77 radios. (Update of AnyTone support is planned for 0.12.1) If you want to help updating the translations, have a look at https://translate.codeberg.org/projects/qdmr/graphical-user-interface/

AnyTone and other manufacturers frequently release firmware, that needlessly break backwards compatibility in the codeplug format.

So, keeping #qdmr up to date becomes an overwhelming task, given the complexity and sheer amount of options in their codeplugs. So, it is time to have a tool to assist with reverse engineering and documenting these codeplugs.

Let me introduce you to *anytone-emu*, an emulator, codeplug analyzer and documentation tool.

#qdmr version 0.12.0 is out! Finally! Added support for the BTECH DR-1801UV and Radioddity GD-73, a lot of additional features (proper frequency representation) and a lot of bug fixes. This is likely the largest release with 43k added and 15k removed lines.

@dm3mat

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

https://github.com/hmatuschek/qdmr/issues/297

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

Good news for #qdmr users on MacOS, qdmr is now distributed by brew too. https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/qdmr
