Hotspot power on 9600

Post by kg0rp » Thu May 22, 2025 12:27 am

I recently updated my 9600 with the latest Open GD77 firmware. Since that update, the power is set to 1 watt no matter what I set the power level to using the Eexpert->MMDVMHost->Infor->Power. I tried several parameters, but no matter what I set it to it sets the radio to 1 watt.

That is what I tried, and I tried several settings; but to no avail. My current setting of 80 should be setting the radio to 25 watts, but it is only set to one watt. Is there some other parameter that I need to set? I have never had this problem before. I`ve attached a screenshot of my configuration.

You're not editing the MMDVMHost settings, but the Info.

You have to set RFLevel not Power
