Just in case someone is near Berlin on April, 5.: I'll give a talk about DMR in general and #qdmr in particular at the monthly meeting of our local chapter of the DARC (Y07) in Königs Wusterhausen. (18:00 local time (MESZ), "Riedels Gasthaus", Tiergartenstraße 2, 15711 Königs Wusterhausen OT Neue Mühle)

Slowly, I start to believe, that the AnyTone engineers activity trying to prevent, that I implement support for their devices in #qdmr. I'm reverse engineering the current codeplug format for the D578UV and they move everything around in the general settings section of the codeplug. Of cause, there are new features in this radio compared to the 868 & 878, but the common features have been moved too. Even the old 868 and recent 878 share a common encoding of common features. Just the 578 doesn't.

Hooray that #qdmr is available via brew! That's progress.

I got a "segmentation fault" when I tried to use it on a radio that looks supported (OpenGD77 on RD-5R) but might not be. The writeup here

https://github.com/hmatuschek/qdmr/issues/297

should hopefully help in debugging, I am happy to experiment more or to RTFM if I missed something.

#opengd77 #rd5r

Good news for #qdmr users on MacOS, qdmr is now distributed by brew as well. https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/qdmr

Just published a bugfix release of #qdmr (https://github.com/hmatuschek/qdmr/releases/tag/v0.11.2). Beside some minor issues, it fixes the detection of the BTECH DMR-6X2 and adds call-sign DB support for the BTECH DM-1701.

Finally, after figuring out a hidden checksum, #qdmr is now able to program the BTECH DR-1801UV/BF-1801A6. It still takes ages as I can only talk to the radio with 9k6 baud. But better than nothing. The branch is called dr1801, if you want to play along at home.

Finally, #qdmr is talking to a BTECH DR-1801UV.

There is a nasty bug in the 0.11.0 release of #qdmr, preventing the codeplug encoding for almost all AnyTone devices. The bugfix release 0.11.1 will be released today, hoping to still make it before the Debian freeze. 😰

Just released #qdmr version 0.11.0 with proper support for the BTECH DMR-6X2UV and some more bug fixes. For a complete list of the changes in this release, have a look at the release notes: https://github.com/hmatuschek/qdmr/releases/tag/v0.11.0.

Dear all, As an #introduction I'm Hannes, DM3MAT, very interested in RF circuit design, home-brewing my equipment, QRP portable operation and software engineering. The latter brought you #qdmr (https://dm3mat.darc.de/qdmr).

Anyone else got a #DMR radio :radio_handheld: that they can't program in #Linux?

Yeah, me too.

I've been using DMRconfig (originally by Serge Vakulenko KK6ABQ now OpenRTX) for command line programming

But I've JUST discovered Hannes, DM3MAT's #qdmr which is a GUI :alex_partying:
