Hi, first of all I introduce myself:
Jordi, from Catalonia.
I have always been a radio amateur.
I bought this radio because it is sturdy, powerful and small.
In general, DMR radio equipment is complicated to operate by radio amateurs. They are not intended for this type of user.
This radio has a very interesting mode. VFO mode.
The pity is that it doesn't work at all well.
And it would only take a couple of things to consider to make it more user-friendly for amateur radio.
1- that we can easily choose TG and slot, including being able to type the TG by keyboard.
2- that the transmission frequency in case of using repeaters is maintained when the dial is moved. Currently, when the dial is touched, the transmission frequency is the same as the reception frequency, and it must be rewritten. It may be more useful and understandable to put an OFFSET field and write the offset there and whether it is positive or negative.
3- allow a promiscuous mode, at least from the same slot.
4- it would be great if in promiscuous mode there was a key that saved the TG and Slot that are being received to be able to respond quickly to the same slot and TG when doing PTT.
VFO mode with just these things in DMR would be very useful.
Sure you’ve been asked a lot of improvements, and I’m no one to tell you anything, but I do suggest it be taken into consideration.
thank you very much from Catalonia.
