Better than the "university" videos and much easier to follow. Thankyou

Chris you are a star. Many thanks for this upload, you’ve held my hand and taken me through this update. Keep up the good work.

Awesome job Chris, I was sweating when I did the Baseband update but all went well. Fantastic radio!

Excellent guide (the best i have seen), I didn't know anything about the baseband update, and i didn't do it it until now, thank you very much :-)

Thank you, Chris! This is a fantastic resource for the 878 community. Cheers! N4GJ

Great tutorial Chris, It really helped me out on the new baseband update - Great to see it done before attempting it yourself. Many thanks 73's.

Thanks for your help!!!!! All done but djeoghdjd still had problems. Got there in the end!! Thank you for taking the time. M7AHE. 73’s. I have the same comm port error problem too. Sorted the same way.

TY Chris what a well put together Video worked 1st time every step of the way ... 73 M6UKO

Thank you very much Chris. This is awesome information. Amazing how different the digital aspect to the analog. You kept me sane with this video. Appreciate the speed of the presentation and showing how things work together. 73 K0DXT

In addition to turning GPS and APRS off, I like to connect a dummy load and reducing RF power to Low so that no significant RF gets on the chip pins under any circumstances.

Hi Chris, great stuff. I would mention that I've read it's best to never transmit with the USB programming cable connected. I've done it by accident with no ill effects, but I've read it can cause damage 73, N7ADV

Keep up the good work I've just got my my DMR from moonraker and a hotspot live in Northampton I've got a sit and try and work it out what to do lol

great video mate and thanks for the 5hrs work that u do :D

Thank you so much for the video. I was having trouble figuring out the baseband update. I don't think it's well documented, or at all. Again, thank you!!

I to was sweating about the Baseband. All done and working. I have even got my pictures back on. Just 1 question, will this work on 868 as well?

Question. Does anyone know how to use the Weather Alert in the menu of this awesome radio???

TY Chris for the video! I was able to update to FW1.14 from 1.13. But there are a few bugs: -In FW1.13, basic encryption was available. No longer in 1.14. So whatever you had on 1.13 continues to 1.14 but without the ability to edit the basic encryption anymore. But it is still there behind the curtains. - The NO AUDIO still persists (hardware v1.00) once you change channels and you have dual watch/dual display turned on. This happens when you turn the knob "counterclockwise." If you change channels in a "clockwise" direction, the NO AUDIO may or may not happen. To fix this, you have to RESTART the HT or resort to SINGLE display only (time settings can be enabled; some users turn this off to save on hardware memory I suppose). Could this be a memory limitation already? -Enhanced mode can be fully edited on FW1.14 but it doesn't match other radios (tested with Retevis RT84) enhanced privacy modulation even on the SAME 32-key encryption code. I do hope that both basic and enhanced be brought back on FW1.15 if they would still be releasing an update. No need to have 255 enhanced keys that won't match other DMRs. The usual 16 basic + 8 enhanced encryption is enough as long as both work. Also, is there a way to be able to have dual display with the basic and enhanced feature enabled? On FW1.13, the enhanced encryption is a no go if you are using another brand DMR. Only the basic encryption works. And on FW1.13, dual display works. In other words, if the dual display is required to be OFF for the HT to avoid the NO AUDIO problem, then having 2x 868 hardware inside limits the HT to perform as 2x individual radios and loses the dual watch functionality. Could it be that the limitation of the HT is already at its edge with the features they added on FW1.14 since they also forced the radio to work only on single display mode to avoid freezing? The NO AUDIO when doing a channel change (clockwise and then counterclockwise to return to the previous channel) results in a "freeze" (with dual display on). The above observations were done on: - Digital Simplex (single frequencies for TX and RX) - DMR monitor on dual - GPS/APRS/BT off - Talkthrough checked - Memory set B was the one changed while set A was not touched - No custom screen used I do hope this gets fixed. I did email Bridgecom about this a few days ago but no reply yet. They may need more time to provide feedback. BTW, I've upgraded to FW1.14 before watching your video with the same results --> Downgraded to FW1.13 --> Upgraded again to FW1.14 while watching your video. Still with the same bugs as mentioned above... I hope this helps. I might just move back to FW1.13. At least it provides editing of the basic encryption (since the new AES encryption won't match the other HTs keys anyway). And FW1.13 allows dual display to still be used.

People be foreign doin any upgrades to turn off gps and aprs also never touch the ptt button as it all this can damage your radio.

Where is the SCT base band update files found?? Give us more info regarding all this files which I am unable to find.

I haven't got channel set in my radio and I can't go to V/M mode , I can change to V/M in settings and consign it to p1 and save it to the radio but nothing happens it to thinking of sending it back

Thank you but way too fast for me. What is cps software? How would I know what comport, ect. I will watch it threw though maybe after many views and a lot of trial and error.

Is it safe to do all of this on Windows XP SP3 32 bit? Is GD32 required in this case? This is all i have at the moment unfortunately... thanks

M6 g s h, just got back ??
