The Radtel RT-880G got new firmware yesterday: 1.16. I had to run the upgrade software in WINE.
- APRS occasionally receives a message that PASSES the FCS check, but still mostly failed, and some are completely garbled chinese characters.
- TX APRS looks pretty good now. I’ve seen on BTech UV-PRO and on https://aprs.fi/.
- Listening to “Radio” mode is cool: 20M CW, FT8, and a little voice.
- The menus are pretty confusing, and it’s hard to remember the controls, especially in “Radio”.
- I was using the radio in “Full Band Tuning”, but it causes problems in spectrum mode, so I went back to normal mode.
