v48 (beta)

  • RSSI data is now sent to the Homebrew/MMDVM server in cross mode operation.

v47 (beta)

  • Added a “Dst callsign for cross calls” setting to the D-STAR settings. This callsign will be used as the destination callsign for calls to the D-STAR transceiver coming from the network.
  • Added a “Cross mode destination DMR ID” setting to the DMR settings. In case a DMR network is connected in a non-DMR modem mode, and the “Use cross mode destination DMR ID” checkbox is checked, then calls to the DMR network will be sent to the DMR ID specified at the “Cross mode destination DMR ID” field, except when using the Homebrew/MMDVM connector (it has a “Route cross mode calls to ID” field, and it will always be used).
  • Various smaller fixes

v46 (stable)

  • Fixed occasional reboot on SMS send/receive

  • Fixed: voice announcement is not played when switching to the Null connector using an unlink transceiver command

v40 (beta)

  • Fixed setting the “Route cross mode calls to ID” when a quick call is requested to IDs between 4000 and 5000 with a group call

v39 (stable)

  • Fixed RSSI measurement
  • Fixed max. server/password field lengths on the web interface

v35 (beta)

  • Fixed device info section title line breaks

v34 (stable)

  • Fixed sending D-STAR callsign suffix using cross modes on DCS/XLX servers

v33 (stable)

  • Fixed sending D-STAR callsign suffix using the SharkRF Link app on DCS/XLX servers

v32 (beta)

  • Fixed setting delayed Power off if no charger is connected above 9 minutes

v31 (beta)

  • Homebrew/MMDVM connector in both C4FM or D-STAR cross mode: if a Special command/cross mode private call DTMF code (default *) is sent to the openSPOT4 without an ID, then a quick group call to ID 4000 will be sent. If the cross mode group call DTMF code (default #) is sent without an ID appended to the command character, then the destination ID of the last incoming call from the network will be set as the “Route cross mode calls to ID” setting. For example, if the “Route cross mode calls to ID” setting is currently TG123, and a call is received to TG91, and you enter DTMF code # to the openSPOT4, then the “Route cross mode calls to ID” setting will be changed to TG91. This can be used to quickly answer an incoming call to a talkgroup

v30 (beta)

  • Added support for exporting all config profiles at once
  • Homebrew/MMDVM connector in C4FM cross mode: if a Special command/cross mode private call DTMF code (default *) or the cross mode group call DTMF code (default #) has been entered without an ID appended to the command character, then the destination ID of the last incoming call from the network will be set as the “Route cross mode calls to ID” setting. For example, if the “Route cross mode calls to ID” setting is currently TG123, and a call is received to TG91, and you enter DTMF code # to the openSPOT4, then the “Route cross mode calls to ID” setting will be changed to TG91. This can be used to quickly answer an incoming call to a talkgroup (this functionality will be added to D-STAR DTMF calls in the next beta firmware)
  • Various smaller fixes and improvements

  • Added profile change with buttons. Keep the Wi-Fi button pressed while pressing the Power button as many times as the number of the configuration profile you want to switch to. The status LED will start blinking white rapidly after the first Power button press, signaling the upcoming profile switch. If the Power button press count is more than the number of available configuration profiles, the switch gets canceled.
