VK3GWY digital gateway still missing.

 

I still looking around to see if anyone talking about why the VK3GWY gateway disappeared which tied BrandMeister DMR TG 50525 with P25 TG50525 and NXDN TG50525 and YSF 06015

while looking around I stumbled onto the VK3RBA 70cm digital repeater dashboard connected to Brandmeister DMR Network, from the dashboard we see BM TG505 TS1 and a local TG9 TS2, I will keep this in mind for the next time I visit Ballarat.

What I noticed from this dashboard is P25 and YSF showing as Not Linked.

my Radioddity GD-77 DMR handheld radio update

 today, I decided to update my GD77 handheld, as I noticed that  Brandmeister TG 50526 (VK2GWY-CCARC) had sprung into life yesterday, presumably a new gateway had been added by the CCARC club (aka VK2RAG), first I had to setup the GD77 Programming Software on my laptop, as when I last updated it, I was then using a WINXP PC. I installed the latest version 3.1.9, which is the same I had used on the old PC.

Checking  the Radioddity website I noticed there had been some firmware updates since last time, my GD77 was currently using  ver 4.02.08, and the latest is 4.03.09, so I downloaded the firmware, ran the firmware installer and updated the firmware (without bricking the device) successfully to  ver 4.03.09, which was confirmed when I did a Read of the device using the Radioddity GD77 Programming  Software. DSP version remains the same at HRC6000 ver 1.2

I made my changes doing a shuffle of some TG's and adding TG50526 (VK2GWY-CCARC) for my Brandmeister Group.

The updated GD77 codeplug is now installed and operational. 

I also updated my Motorola XTS3000 today as well, to remove some repeater channels that have been redeployed as VK-DMR repeaters and shuffle a couple P25 channels around and uploaded that new codeplug into the XTS3000.
