Daniel, I use vp level 3 as do many advanced users like myself. You can't hear channel names arrowing rapidly in any other level. I am not being impatient, I merely wanted a simple acknowledgement that it would be fixed. I reported this back in December on Github when the initial firmware came out w...

My last comment on this. Imagine you released a version of the firmware which took 1 to 2 seconds to update the screen each time you pressed the up and down arrow keys, so that it took that long for you to see what channel you had arrowed to. Would any of your sighted users be happy? Would they not ...

I am not whining. I have offered my help as a programmer. I also know you do this in your spare time. If you just simply acknowledge the request we'd all be satisfied and wait patiently for the fix. It is not about not using the firmware. It is about the user experience as either going backward or f...

Hi Daniel/Roger, This is how strongly some of the blind folk have expressed their views on the issue of mode announcement prior to channel name. They'd rather have you remove the mode announcement altogether if you don't want to make it after the channel name. The thing is, they can tell what mode t...

I have been testing the latest fw with rx ctcss set to 85.4 on a given channel and have had no issues. I have my power saving level set to 4. I am extremely impressed with the eco power saving feature. Yes, it does take a second or so to open the squelch but that is to be expected at that power savi...

Dear Daniel, Please take the blind community seriously. I think you underestimate the impact of announcing the mode prior to the channel name. Please try use the radio with voice prompts set to 3 without looking at the screen for a day. I think if you have to change channels a few times, you'll quic...

I do like the mode indication but it really needs to be after the channel name. As already pointed out, if you depend only on voice prompts, at level 3, one cannot change channels efficiently since one must wait for the mode announcement before the channel name is spoken. THis is very very inefficie...

Hi Roger,

The eco version 080859.zip works again with prompt level 3, thanks. I'll try it today on power saving level 4.

Hi Roger, Not sure if you still check the Github issues or just this forrum. I want to thank you for adding the speaking of mode on sk1 in the Jan update, however I'd like to please please request that if you haven't already done so, plese make the mode announcement after the channel announcement or...

Hi Roger, Several blind folk on the blind hams list have asked me about battery related features and have expressed some confusion. sk2+orange speaks battery percent while sk2+numpad 2 speaks voltage. I was thinking, to save confusion and having to remember two keystrokes for a related feature, coul...
