Hi all,
my name is Nat, I am not "a radio-amateur" but, better said, I am a man who "loves radio".
I got a few low cost radios. Ofcourse I just use them as receivers.
I loaded the opengd77 firmware on my DM1801 and I keep it updated with both stable or beta versions.
Many tanks to Roger and to the people who is dedicating their time writing and testing this great firmware.
If I can I would like to report a couple of bugs found on openDM1801.
1. Noise from screen backlight appears to be back. I noticed it from version 2021.03.06.01, never heard it before on my DM1801 with previous versions. It is surely related to the display backlight as it disappears with backlight at 100% or at 0%. Noise change “tone/volume” according to the backlight setting with more noise on medium values. Let say very noisy from 20% to 80%.
Noise is present only when audio is open. Tested with original battery and external power supply, same result.
2. From version 2021.02.13.01 reaching the "Zone" menu using the "Quick Key" function, display appears OK but scrolling beyond the first top line or beyond the last bottom line I got corrupted lines with strange symbols or blank lines. Sometime, if I select a corrupted line then the "Zone" menu will be corrupted even when I reach it through the MENU button.
To fix the issue I must scroll through zone or switch the radio Off/On.
No issue using the MENU button to reach the Zone menu.
Thanks again
