I wonder if anyone has noticed this strange behavior on the RD-5R:
Output Power:
in DMR you can't set it freely. When you scroll the power the values don't go in sequence, they jump, for example, from 1W to 4W to 2W. Also, going one step beyond 5W you get null>25.
Color Code:
although the color code is set to 1 in the codeplug, it shows a different code, usually 3. So when it receives a signal it takes some time to set it to the correct code.
Firmware Version: 20250223 but I have seen this behavior on previous versions too.
Note: I have same settings, same version and same codeplug installed on DM1801 without problems
Possible bug on RD-5R on Power and Color Code.

When you change the power from Channels/VFO screens, or in the Channel details ?Nat wrote: ↑Thu Mar 06, 2025 11:42 pmI wonder if anyone has noticed this strange behavior on the RD-5R:

I just tried on my RD-5R, and I'm unable to reproduce.
Could you, read the codeplug from your RD-5R and post it here (or email it me).

Not easy to replicate. If I Change power from Channel Details appears normal. But as I go to Channel/VFO the set value is not always correct. Then if I try to set it sometime it jumps from one value tu another by itself, it usualy stop on 4W. Anyway, if I go over 5W I get (null + a random number).
About Color Code It sets by itself to CC 3.
Attached there is the codeplug read from radio.

Re: Possible bug on RD-5R on Power and Color Code.
So, I tried on my DM-5R, and don't notice anything strange.
What looks really suspicous is the >5W value, has it should display +W-, and that string is hardcoded in the firmware.
I would suggest you to re-download the latest beta firmware, the latest CPS and re-flash your RD-5R.

Okay, I re-downloaded and re-flashed the latest beta firmware and codeplug. At first everything worked fine. Then I started playing with the date and clock settings and then the strange behavior appeared. I re-flashed the latest firmware again and everything was fine until I set the clock and date. I did this a few more times with the same result. The date/clock setting introduced the faulty behavior.
Then, somehow or other, the problem disappeared. I don't know how to replicate it at the moment.
I will continue to monitor the issue and if I have any news I will let you know.
Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

Hi
I found the way to recreate the issue.
On RD-5R > quik menu > Roaming = Manual.
Setting Roaming off everything is OK.
Setting Roaming anyway on DM-1801 make no problems.
Hope this info could be usefull to trace the bug.

Re: Possible bug on RD-5R on Power and Color Code.
Nice finding, I have the CC and PWR that self changing.
I guess why this bug happen on this platform.

Okay, it's confirmed, found and fixed.
The fix will be part of the next release.
Many thanks for the investigation.
