I have two GD77 handhelds, both updated to OpenGD77 build 3:15:57 Mar 4 2023. Both worked OK after the firmware update. I then updated my codeplug with a cleanup, added VKDMR talkgroups and VKDMR repeaters and loaded the updated codeplug to one of the GD77 HTs. On testing, the one with the updated codeplug would no longer key any of my hotspots.
GD77-1 =>with old codeplug
GD77-2 => with new codeplug
Hotspots are:
pi-star1 = duplex MMDVM hotspot setup for VKDMR
pi-star4 = simplex MMDVM hotspot setup for Brandmeister
pi-star5 = simplex MMDVM hotspot setup for VKDMR
GD77-1 keys all the hotspots successfully
GD77-2 fails to key any of the hotspots. Timeout when TX on pi-star1 channel (HS-D VKDMR). GD77-2 TX on DMR simplex channel is received on GD77-1
When I restore the old codeplug to GD77-2 its behaviour remains the same and it still fails to key any hotspot. I have also backed up EEPROM, flash and calibration as well as downloaded the codeplug from GD77-1 and restored these to GD77-2. GD77-2 still fails to key the hotspots.
I also have a MD-9600 running OpenMD9600 build 20230228150211. It worked OK with old codeplug. However it also fails to key the hotspots after loading the new codeplug.
I also have a Retevis RT3s running OpenMDUV380 build 20230227201014. This HT works OK with old codeplug and new codeplug.
Where do I go from here??
GD77 fails to trigger hotspots after codeplug update
Re: GD77 fails to trigger hotspots after codeplug update
I uploaded new DRM Contacts database (505 only) to MD9600 after which it works OK now with new codeplug.
I loaded the new codeplug to GD77-1 and it works OK and keys the hotspots. So problem is with poor old GD77-2
GD77-1 sn: 1901A01053 All OK
GD77-2 sn: 1709A15480 Fails to key hotspots (or repeaters?)

Check it's frequency accuracy, maybe it's slightly off.VK5DET wrote: ↑Wed Apr 19, 2023 6:17 amI uploaded new DRM Contacts database (505 only) to MD9600 after which it works OK now with new codeplug.
