Re: Power setting DM-1701

I wanted to drop the power down a bit, but instead of dropping the setting to 3800, I changed the power setting to 4 watts GARY The setting you described is only for the Custom power setting. It allows you to set the PA drive from no drive at all to the maximum the hardware is capable of...

Re: Power setting DM-1701

In the settings, there’s a power setting. It’s default set at 4100 which is max. Goes down in 100 increments. How much drop in power is every drop of 100? GARY. N4KVE These values (100), are the raw DAC values that control the PA drive circuit, the amount of power difference for each step depends o...

Re: MD-UV390 "Helicoptering" Tx Audio on DMR Nets

This is RF pickup into the external mic cable.

If you want to use this external mic, you should try perhaps adding a ferrite core at the plug end.

Re: [BUG] Power issues with DM-1701 at 5W?

I experienced a similar problem with my dm-1701 where I could not activate an FM repeater when using 5w, but could active using lower lower levels. However the problem was not repeatable, i.e when I checked the power output using a power metre it was correct, and I was also able to activate the repe...

Re: Admit Criteria as a feature?

This isn't a problem which would be resolved even if an Admit Criteria function could be added Specifically if such a feature could be added, It would definately be off by default, because most of the existing user base would be annoyed if the current functionality was changed. Hence you would need ...

Re: RX CTCSS doesn't open squelch after using DTMF dialler

I wish there was a way to either backup the settings via cps, or perhaps display the non-default ones somehow so we can preserve before flashing. @SP9RZF idk, that's my default screen for SK1. maybe u'r firmware is too old.. No. There is no functionality to specifically backup the settings data. Th...

For the benefit of the 520 people who read my OP, but didn’t know the answer, the OpenGD77 CPS runs perfectly on a Windows 7 32 bit machine. GARY.
