Re: Important question

I figured it out. I was changing the menu while it was scanning and that’s a NO go.
Thanks

Re: Important question

I got it all programmed and it will not go back into monitor mode after I did it once it won’t go back now. The filters just keep defaulting to ON no matter what I do. I long press the sk2 and it stays on while I’m pushing down but it’s gone when I release? Help please.

Re: Important question

Yup. I was in the wrong spot. My apologies for wasting your time. I thought I looked everywhere. This is my first experience with GitHub as well so I’m learning as I go. I really appreciate the help.

Re: Important question

I see activating “monitor” mode is long press “sk2”. Wondering how to activate it on the RD-5R?
I don’t see a button layout design for the RD-5R.

Thanks all

Re: Important question

Well that makes things extra confusing lol. I mainly bought it for the digital monitor as I have so many repeaters and DMR frequencies in my area that I don’t want to have to plug all the info in every time I want to listen to that frequency. I much prefer if it would monitor both time slots so it s...

Hi folks. The main reason for me buying the RD-5R is the incredible “digital monitor” function it has. However, I adore the Open GD77 firmware for it. Before I take the plunge I want to check in with the experts. Does the updated gd77 have the digital monitor mode and it is as good as the original o...
