OpenGD77

Thanks for the hint, Colin. As stated above there was/is no plan to roll back on my end, yet I quickly wrote them and received a ZIP with the following files: 28.05.2021 03:58 1.096.192 MD9600-CSV(2571V5)-V26.45.bin 28.05.2021 03:58 1.102.336 MD9600-CSV-GPS(2571V5)-P26.45.bin 01.12.2022 05:21 1.114....

Has anyone seen a S026.057 firmware binary for download?
I can only find older versions that I'm unsure would work with V5 hardware.

Rob, did anyone approach you on this? I certainly won't go back to the original FW, just want to know if the FW is available... Thanks.

I just received a device with same HW/FW as per initial post (no GPS, TYT CPU) and thought it might be helpful to re-confirm that everything works as expected using latest Beta FW V5 (2023-07-15).

Indeed, the older threads have a lot of valuable information on this subject. I have a bunch of OpenGD HTs from the various brands/makes including two RD-5R bought in 2020. Depending on settings (i.e. Eco level, display ON/OFF/brightness, DMR mic, PWR etc.) and/or external microphone and/or antenna ...

Thanks Colin. You are correct - „2 Lines“ or „Auto“ is/was set on both RD5R and also on most of my other devices. I just compared the GD77 display to the RD5R and the “issue creating contacts” show up nicely with the „line below the line“ on a GD77 – yet that content probably creates the „few pixels...

Good Morning Colin, thanks for your feedback! I had noticed the „extra pixels“ quite some time ago but somehow attributed them to the overall beta status and your described difference between the various TRX displays. Your „eagle-eyed review“ on the pixels gave the hint to review my CPS standard pro...

Hi Roger, Colin – and everyone else reading here ;) Hope you all had a great Christmas season! Thanks again for all your posts to clarify on potential cause... The above described bug showed up again in recent days… This time I had the camera ready, so I am following up with some muted video footage...

I had a look at the code as well, and I can't see anything obvious which would cause this.

Thanks Roger. I'll keep trying to reproduce - and I won't be unhappy if I fail

That's very strange behaviour. [...] Colin, thanks for getting back on this. Strange indeed! I am aware on valid 0-15 CC range, that's why I was wondering that "C19" even came up. I didn't have time for further tests since and unfortunately missed to create some footage when this occured. Also assu...

"OpenRD5R auto switching to C19 during QSO" I just came across a "new behaviour" on one of my RD5Rs today, running the latest beta (2022-11-02). TRX was standby via one of my dual slot MMDVMs with a few low frequented TGs subscribed on both slots. After a QSO on one of the TGs started the C1 jumped ...
