OpenGD77

They have even managed to get it to receive SSB using another undocumented feature. It's not possible to transmit though. Rumor is that it is actually receiving DSBSC not USBSC so doesn't care if it's USB or LSB but obviously will crap out on a CB channel with both. One firmware claims to be able t...

To my mind, TGs are "channels" within a zone and I most often select a zone that is a local repeater then I switch between the channel/TGs using the encoder knob. The old DMR paradigm sucks eggs IMO and I just didn't want to join in on that BS. The OpenGD77 paradigm is SO much easier to program and...

Thanks for all your replies! Yes, I have GPS turned on so it must be installed. If background beaconing is ever enabled in the firmware I'll look into troubleshooting/fixing it :) . Worst case I might buy another and use this one for a base station. I got it for $280 shipped on a sale so I'm not too...

I ran my RT90 (supposedly with GPS) for several hours on my dashboard and it never "saw" a single hint of a satellite
Is it possible that I was shipped a non-GPS radio?
Can the radio even detect whether it has a GPS?
My RT3S with GPS works fine on that dash - even works indoors

Maybe it's time to really read the manual.

I thought I had the Beaconing beta loaded before this beta but I guess I didn't - sorry about that and "Thanks!"

Just wanted to report that the GPS in my new RT-3S does work in the house but my even newer RT-90's GPS does not. I plan to dash mount the RT-90 so hope that will work well enough. Just an update - with the radio running on my passenger seat the GPS never "sees" even a single satellite :( . I hope ...

This update broke manual APRS for me. When I press PTT it just transmits as long as I hold down the PTT - no "squawk", just the count-up numbers and the battery % going down.. I checked that APRS is still in "manual" mode and the APRS seems to be set up correctly.

As many of the other radios only have a single RX/TX circuit (Like Anytone 878) those radios must switch over to the APRS frequency to send a status update, so it must be some very short interruption. I'd think the right thing to do is to delay the beacon if the user had transmitted recently and re...

Thanks to all working on APRS functionality! I am curious what the end goal is. If you can't monitor/operate on any of your programmed channels while the APRS beaconing is happening in the background (like every other APRS enabled mobile radio I've seen) it isn't of any use to me. But if that's the ...

The firmware does not support listening on one frequency and transmit APRS on a different frequency.

I'm kinda hoping that "does not" means "does not yet"?
