Hi Roger, Luckily I have a local repeater (not mine) that seems to be sending beacons every 15 seconds at the moment. So testing is easy. Most U.K. Motorola repeaters send beacons every minute. When the network was first set up most people were using Motorola or Hytera radios so roaming was quite he...

Did some testing of the backlight when receiving repeater beacons. The backlight is actually triggered at the end of the beacon. So what happens is the beacon starts, the green light comes on, the backlight remains off. (that's what I would expect to happen) The beacon ends, the green light goes out...

Roger, The beacon signal is just a short period of ‘both timeslots idle’ frames. There is no special signalling involved. It is exactly the same as the repeater sends after being woken up. It is used by radios that support roaming to give them something to receive when there is no other traffic. Thi...

I agree it’s probably a calibration error.VHF DMR repeaters are working OK for me.

Yes, I must have had a bad Github Fork. Having cleared it and cloned it again it is now working again!

Please ignore this post.... I must have had a bad Gihub Fork. Having renewed it things are working again. Strangely some lines of the main menu are starting part way through a string, Looking at the code I can't see how that can happen. The options on the screen are Firmware Info ick test attery ons...

Please ignore this post.... I must have had a bad Gihub Fork. Having renewed it things are working again. Roger, I have just built from your latest Master and my Green key Menu is now totally screwed up! It looks like the text assigned to each line has got corrupted. Each menu entry actually works a...

Hi Roger,

I have never seen anything in the specs regarding time. So I am pretty sure it is not sent anywhere.

Colin.

OK I have never noticed that.
It’s just that the original question was talking about the ‘Opening CW ID’ which I read as the power on tone which could sound like TAA to some ears.

Are you talking about the CW that is sent when you first power on the radio? That is <CT> which signifies the start of a message. I am assuming that is why it was chosen for the power up sound. (Of course it may be just a coincidence) <CT> could equally be written as <TAA> Because pro-signs don’t ha...
