Got a new Anytone D878UV PLUS .
Had trouble getting the Parrot call to work . Found out the main problem was that I had Call Confirmation selected in the channel settings .
Another weird thing I found out is that the channel setting for DMR Mode for the private TG 9990 ( Parrot ) changed in the radio from the setting in the code plug of Simplex after writing the data to the radio . I tried many times and verified it by creating another private TG on a different channel and both of them changed after writing to the radio . They don't change in the code plug, of course, but after writing, when I look in the settings on the radio, it was changed .
Now for the weird part . I downloaded a CP from this site that Robert K4WZV made . When I load that CP to the radio, the DMR Mode changes from Simplex to Double Slot . When I load my CP to the radio, it changes from Simplex to Repeater . I tried several times, loading each CP over and over and the same results occurred .
The parrot call will work with the DMR Mode set as Simplex or Repeater, but not Double Slot .
( Note : I found that the DMR Mode for EVERY channel was changed - not just the private TG calls )
Now for the next double ballistic weird thing .
When I make the parrot call using Robert's CP - I get the usual pop up message about the private call and then I have to delete it out of the list .
When I make the parrot call using my CP, I DON'T GET THE POPUP ! On other radios that I have used, I always got the popup after a parrot call .
Does anyone know how to enable / disable that popup window ?
Another anomaly is that I get the alert tones in this fashion :
key up when busy
idle channel tone
call tone
key up
call tone
call reset tone
station receive - after complete
idle channel tone
a few seconds after idle channel get
call reset tone
Seems to have the call reset and the idle channel sounding at the wrong times .
I submitted a bug report to BridgeCom support about the DMR Type being changed .
