This is a voted repeater system. Please allow approximately 1 second between pushing the PTT button on you mic and talking to allow the system to work its magic. Repeater times out after 2 minutes. If this repeater is unavailable please migrate to the PARC 130 machine (147.130 MHz, "+" offset, PL 107.2).

I just looked at our current code plug and this is off by default. Should we turn it on in the next revision?

Hi, Bob -

Following is from this webpage:

http://members.optuszoo.com.au/jason.reilly1/868mods.htm

I would try this first.

How do I reset the radio? -or- Why won’t the radio reset?
To reset the radio, turn it off, hold down the PTT button and the button directly beneath it and keep holding those buttons while turning the radio on. Within two seconds you will see on the display ’Are you sure you want to Initialize radio?’ and then Confirm above the green key and Exit above the red key. If you are sure you want to carry out the reset, press the green key and the radio will be reset.

On new firmware version 878 radios, if you do not see this displayed on screen, there is a setting in the CPS that needs to be changed, otherwise holding in the buttons for resetting will have no effect. Startup Reset needs to be set to ON to enable reset to be carried out.

Hi

 

I just got finished loading v1.13 of the firmware into the radio. It all seems to have gone well, but the instructions say to reset the radio. I followed the instructions but never got the reset radio screen? Has anyone else updated? Were you able to reset the radio?

 

Thanks, Bob

New 878 are coming out with firmware 1.13. Might have to upgrade the CPS.

maybe my problem.

When I opened the new code plug it got an error and automatically loaded my old file.

When I used the open new file it showed an error.

So I was looking at my old file.

A funny glitch in the software to open a file other than the one I was attempting to load.

For me the code plug I downloaded twice errors when I load it.

Interesting, no they are not maintaining it. To my knowledge. Only person I have given our codeplug to is the person who has been selling us the radios. I just sent him a new codeplug because of the changes to Elsuore Peak.

 

I will have to go out to PAPA and take a look

I noticed that the latest code plug released by the papa system for general D878 use has all of our ARC frequencies included.

600 and 800 channels.

I thought we took their release and updated with our information.

Are they now maintaining for us?
