Re: Unfamiliar with HotSpots and limitations of RD-5R/DM-5R

The limitation applies to using the radio AS a hotspot which is a unique feature of OpenGD77. You would then need a second radio to communicate with the OpenGD77 hotspot. There is no restriction on using the radio WITH a hotspot supplied by someone else. Colin G4EML Thank you for that clarification...

Re: RD-5R codeplug to OpenRD-5R codeplug; firmware install

Surprising to discover that Brandmeister does not implement any security over our Digital IDs. I guess anyone could impersonate any of us!! Brandmeister have AirSecurity/TOTP that can be activated from selfservice. This can protect your own ID within Brandmeister but ofc not other DMR users unless ...

Unfamiliar with HotSpots and limitations of RD-5R/DM-5R and "WiFi HTs"

I have never used a hotspot with either my Radioddity RD-5R or my Baofeng DM-5R, given that my local ham radio club has 3 DMR repeaters within the range of my home. However, I read in the manual that there are hardware limitations in these radios that interfere with its usage as a HotSpot. So please...

Re: RD-5R codeplug to OpenRD-5R codeplug; firmware install

SO....for those (still) looking at this thread; here's what to take-away: - Adding your ID to every channel makes for a messy codeplug. - Be sure to double-check which DMR ID you enter in the File Menu -> Settings -> DMR ID and callsign. (The callsign is NOT what is transmitted to the Network; just...

KL5T has DMR ID 3111395 and you have 3111995 , almost the same.

Check again so you haven't entered a '3' instead of a '9' in position 5 on your ID by mistake.
Good sleuthing! That was indeed the problem in the main "Callsign - Digital ID" portion of the CPS.

Thank you!

Looks like your codeplug is a bit messy ;)
Ooops to W9YA: have you ever watched Brandmeister Hoseline while using your Codeplug?

Re: RD-5R codeplug to OpenRD-5R codeplug; firmware install

OK: So I found in each Channel box the "Radio ID" and entered my personal Digital ID number in each DMR Channel that I am using and this has fixed Brandmeister Hoseline for me. I have no idea how the Alaska callsign (KL5T) was being imparted previously. Also, previously, using my 2nd DMR HT, when I ...

Re: RD-5R codeplug to OpenRD-5R codeplug; firmware install

I can't seem to find where to activate TA Tx in the CPS software.

Actually, I can't seem to find in the CPS software, most of the options that I see on the DM-5R when I hit the Menu button. You'd think that these could be more easily read and set in the CPS software.

Re: RD-5R codeplug to OpenRD-5R codeplug; firmware install

Boot screen is “if lost” and then my phone number

Which screen can I disable TA?
