Re: key long and key rpt

Key repeat is the time period between automatic repeat of the same key if you hold it down

Long key is for new features where holding the button for a long time has a different effect, but this not used yet

Re: Battery voltage percentage fluctuation

BTW. I changed the averaging period, from 1 minute to 2 minutes. This will mean if you transmit on high power for about 2 minutes then note the battery percentage, then turn the radio off and on again, the percentage will not be the same as initially it will be the direct reading of a few samples, n...

Re: Battery voltage percentage fluctuation

I think 8.2V is a reasonable compromise. I know because of some problems with the audio amplifier oscillating, people have modified their charger so that the voltage does not exceed 8V, but this will reduce the battery capacity by at least 10%, so I am not going to change the 100% value to 7.9V as i...

Re: Battery voltage percentage fluctuation

In the latest version, I changed it so that rather than 8.3V = 100% , now 8.2V = 100%

My radio now normally displays 100% when in the charger, but if I transmit the value will reduce as the battery voltage decreases

Re: Unable to read/program GD-77 using OpenGD77 firmware

BTW. I have a feeling that although the driver seems to be installed its not actually working

Try removing the driver and re-installing it

Re: New CPS with OpenGD77 Com port selector

Ken

Thanks for testing

You'll find that if you don't have the GD77 connected and try to open the OpenGD77 support feature, it will ask you for a com port each time

But I mainly wanted to confirm I'd not broken anything

Re: Bug fixes for crash bugs in the Scan and general operation

OK.

I've copied the OpenGD77 latest version to the Stable version, as I think its suitable for everyone to use and does correct some bug
