OpenRD5R: TX issue on repeater (DMR)

Post by DB4BIN » Fri May 08, 2020 8:44 pm

Hello :)

I found an issue concerning the OpenRD5R: when trying to activate a closed DMR-repeater, I have to press the PTT twice or sometime more often until the "beep" is audible so I can start talking. I tried calibrating and also used calibration files which I found here in the forum, but it stays the same.

Sometimes, after not being able to start TXing on the repeater, the screen freezes and this could only be changed by rebooting the device.

On DMR simplex frequencies, all is ok.

Thanks in advance!

This may be fixed in the next version because by the calibration table fix

Hi Roger, thanks for you efforts.

Unfortunately, with this FW-version there is absolutely no connection possible to the repeater. I downgraded to the previous version and it is working again after pressing the PTT two times.

The distance to the repeater is around 5km and it is a DMR+ - repeater. Unfortunately, there are no Brandmeister-repeater in a (for a handheld radio) reachable distance.

Greetings from germany

Hi Roger,
