Password protection?

Post by SP5AH » Sat Jun 07, 2025 2:05 pm

Hi,
Is there any password protection for the radio in OpenGD77?
It sometimes the radio can be lost or stolen and it would be good if it could not be used by unauthorized persons (especially with DMR_ID)..

There is a PIN that you could define.
But frankly speaking, once you lose your radio (or it get stolen), you're doomed.

FYI, Anyone who knows your Call sign can easily find your DMR ID.
They just need to go to radioid.net and do a search.

Hello,
Yes I know but not every thief knows where to look... or more precisely not everyone who steals a radio has to use it.
We need to make it difficult for such people ;-)
