Re: HW issue with my radio - NOT receiving on VHF.

I wouldn't focus on the preamp transistor only: I had a similar issue at a radio of another club member: He managed to kill one of the PIN diodes in the RX frontend, it was shorted to RF ground permanently. He played around with a second radio, full 5W power close to the antenna, from then the first...

FW 20230915: Freq adjust item missing in calibration menu

Hi Roger et al,

on my DM-1701 with FW 20230915 the freq calibration adjust item is no longer displayed. The menu status line indicates there are 4 items, but only 3 are displayed.

Re: Baofeng DM-1701 firmware / Retevis RT-84

Hi Roger, Thanks for explaining, now I understand the meaning of "donor software", it's just the AMBE codec stuff. Adjusting the "Freq Adjust" setting for both VHF / UHF I had performed some days ago, but I probably missed to hit SK2 + "green" to save settings permanently. I've just repeated the cal...

Probably the "donor software" of MD-9600 ist not really suitable for DM-1701?
