Re: New ongoing "Development" version has been created

I am running OpenGD77 CPS (Version: D2021.01.03.02). After I click on download and update, it simply downloads and updates the radio if it is connected, or does nothing if not connected. I am never offfered the option to save the file. Anyway I think I have the latest sgl. Thanks for your hard work....

Re: New ongoing "Development" version has been created

Hi Roger, I cannot figure out how to save a downloaded firmware version using the CPS using a screen reader. When I right or left click on the version in the data grid, nothing happens. I do not get an option to save the sgl file. The only thing I can do is download and update if I have the radio co...

Re: New ongoing "Development" version has been created

Hi Roger/Daniel, Just wondering if issue #884 PTT while DTMF dialing is anywhere on your radar? For those of us with very poor wrists due to way too much typing, it would really be so helpful. The idea is that you hold down ptt, as soon as you press the first DTMF key, ptt latch kicks in, and only r...

Re: New ongoing "Development" version has been created

Hi Roger, One of the open issues I have is the voicing when arrowing left and right in the contact list when editing a contact at prompt level 3. I fixed the same issue in the channel details screen when editing the name of a channel and you already merged that into the firmware several months ago. ...

Re: New ongoing "Development" version has been created

Thinking about this further, with regard to my prior comment re getting the radio into a predictable state for accessibility, so long as you don't write these changes to the EProm, this is fine. If you later decided to remember the menu item state across sessions by saving them to the EProm, I'd the...

Re: New ongoing "Development" version has been created

I note the ability of the radio to now remember the last menu option visited. I think you will get mixed reactions from the blind community with this change primarily because one important accessibility rule of thumb is that the radio should always return to a known and predictable state when going ...

Re: New ongoing "Development" version has been created

Hi Roger/Daniel, One other voice prompt request when you have time, no rush, but in VFO mode, when pressing up and down arrow, is it possible just to announce the new frequency rather than VFO a on each press of up or down arrow? Again, it would make stepping through frequencies by step size much m...

Re: New ongoing "Development" version has been created

I am extremely impressed with the eco level feature. None of my radios happen to have the bugs associated with the 6000 chip and I run using eco level 4. After an entire day on standby with average use, my battery is usually above 95%. The latency is also incredibly good considering the highest batt...

Re: New ongoing "Development" version has been created

Dear Daniel and Roger, I just updated to the latest firmware given to Ian Spencer, DJ0HF and I sincerely want to thank you a million times for fixing the ordering of the channel name and mode. It makes the radio sooo much more efficient to use. I truely truely appreciate it as do the many others who...
