OpenGD77

Hi!
I would like to thank all the developers for restarting this project from a new base, with clean and legal license and with absolutely perfect solutions for all the problems, which lead to abandoning the original project. The way it's done is really excellent! Automatic extraction of binary blobs from the sgl file, building of the final image by the CPS... simply, I can't imagine easier or better solution!
I have to thank for the new features as well! What I'm appreciating at most, is the possibility to store the alternative DMR Id per channel! I asked for this feature in the past but it was rejected, so I had to implement it in my private builds (it was very very hot fix, as I didn't change neither radio nor CPS UI, and I hacked it by setting the ID, which was hardwired to the code, according to the Rx Group set for the channel. So, it was wrong for me, when the new sources were not released regularly, as I was not able to include this stupid patch in the new releases.
So, I'm very happy that all this is behind us and that the last current development version is working perfectly on both the radios I have!
Thank you, Roger, Daniel and others!
With regards / 73,
Pavel OK1PT

You will see the advantages soon. Did you read about the "short up" blue button (SK2) feature, while receiving ? You will find all that overriding stuff really useful

Daniel

It is a function that I had proposed to Roger at the very beginning of the project and he replied that he did not see the usefulness of it at the time. I am very happy to see it implemented and it is very useful.

With the update, my charger no longer wants to stop. I tested two chargers and same result. I then configured the temperature and voltage of the battery with my Fluke 87V Max and no change.

Is there a solution?

The firmware (and the handheld) has no control over the (crappy) charger.
You can still change the charger board to something a bit better (and cheap)
