OpenGD77

It really does !

I will change the average period to 2 mins in the next release

Please explain in more detail

I agree.

There seems to be a bug where PiStar thinks the radio is transmitting, but it isn’t.

I think this stops PiStar sending it any data, or perhaps prevents Pistar receiving signals from the radio.

I will investigate

It’s a rolling 1 minute average sampled once per second. The reason why the level is changing is because the battery voltage really is going down and up again. I guess I could increase the averaging period. But if you turn it off and on again, the average will be lost and the value could change a lo...

Thanks

VFH now should be working. I think a few months ago there may have been problems on VHF but now not.

BTW. I have not had time to do any testing with any other radios. There have been 3 updates from 3 different developers and also a bug I fixed in FM squelch I will try to find time to test with some other radios tomorrow, it would be good if other forum members could post about what radios they have...

Just reloading the firmware should put you back to version 0.0.6 You can also press the Blue / Function key when booting the radio as this will clear the settings. But the settings should automatically clear when you install the old version, as the settings contain a version number and if it doesn't...
