1 - In analogue mode, I observe the power output bargraph is a bit random !
Sometimes it gives two bars, other times one bar on tx whilst on high power.
DMR mode is always the full four bars on high power - bug ?
2 - Flashing red light on TX.
I had my first play of trying to use another repeater other than the local one today.
Seemed to work ok at a /P QTH.
Get home and notice that if I try the non local repeater that the red tx light flashes.
So do all the others that are not local.
I presume that the RX wants to hear a signal first to confirm it's in range of a suitable repeater
before it allows full tx facilities, and the blinking red LED TX light indicates that it's not heard
a "home" repeater to work with yet ? Can't see anything wrong with the codeplug, but then...
3 - DMR is great, but in certain ways it only allows the virtual net to be wider, and catch more
boring idiots.
As a mostly CW operator, hearing the voices of a bunch of thick numpties who end every sentence
with "erm yeah yeah erm ermm", "my friend" , "yeah I copy what you say", "y'know y'know" and
already a classic from an M0 station who calls in to let people know that they are "getting out" is
already getting on my tits. I'd forgotten how bad voice operation was until recently

I stick to HF in the main.
