Re: Spurious emissions

I did not try testing with the official firmware. I might do that when I have a bit of free time in the future.

Spurious emissions

I am curious -- are there any tests/research/information around whether the radios used for OpenGD77 have issues with spurious emissions. I'm particularly interested in the DM-1701, but would be interested if there's data in general around these radios -- and if they are improved through using the O...

Pulling my hair out over CSV import

I have been trying several days to get a set of analog and digital repeaters to import into the CPS using a CSV file. I exported my current codeplug and appended the new frequencies.

Can't open squelch with the function key when rx/tx is reversed

Problem: I often want to listen to the input frequency of a repeater without the squelch to see if I can hear them. When I reverse the tx/rx frequencies, holding in the function key doesn't open the squelch like it does normally. Steps to reproduce (tested on the Baofeng DM-1701 with build 202300509...

Hello! I received my Baofeng DM-1701 this last Thursday and after a bit of struggling with USB drivers, got it flashed and installed a codeplug I had whipped up earlier in the week. It’s been one of my favorite handie talkie experiences ever. Once I got the hang of the menus, it’s been a real joy to...
