Changelog for stable firmware versions of the

v75

  • Added “Prolong battery life” option to Miscellaneous settings. The battery will only be charged up to ~80% if this setting is enabled. Enable this if you use the device plugged into a USB power source 24/7.
  • Changed APRS device ID to the assigned one (APOSB4)
  • Fixed the “Fill with GeoIP” button at the Location settings on the web interface
  • Minor fixes and enhancements

v72

  • Added option to send NXDN voice announcements to TG9 instead of TG0
  • Added option to disable NXDN talker alias generation
  • Minor fixes and enhancements

v70

  • Allow saving DCS/XLX and REF/XRF servers to the Wires-X menu of C4FM transceivers

v69

  • Allow changing to non-numbered DCS/XLX servers using the transceiver’s urcall/destination callsign method
  • Schedule outgoing D-STAR packets in D-STAR modem mode in 20ms interval
  • Fixed YSFReflector server ID length
  • Fixed applying the forced DGID to net C4FM setting
  • Minor fixes and enhancements

v61

  • Added all D-STAR module letters to module selection dropdowns

  • Fixed RTC wakeup when device is powered off and USB cable plugged in/out
  • Fixed an issue which may cause a bootup problem
  • Minor fixes and enhancements

v55

  • Added option to hide voice announcements from the web interface call log

  • Smaller fixes and enhancements

v51

  • Fix reconnect to Wi-Fi network on IP address acquire timeout

v50

  • 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).
  • RSSI data is now sent to the Homebrew/MMDVM server in cross mode operation.
  • Fixed sending empty dst/src callsigns to the server on C4FM call end
  • Various smaller fixes

v46

  • Fixed entering raw Homebrew/MMDVM options
  • Fixed occasional reboot on SMS send/receive
  • Various smaller fixes

v44

  • Fixed occasional lockup when the DAPNET connector is active

v43

  • Fixed occasional lockup on connector disconnecting/reconnecting
  • Fixed sending calls to SharkRF IP Connector server/client when using the SharkRF Link app
  • Fixed: voice announcement is not played when switching to the Null connector using an unlink transceiver command
  • 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
  • Various smaller fixes and improvements

v39

  • Fixed RSSI measurement
  • Fixed max. server/password field lengths on the web interface
  • Fixed hostname error when it is longer than 32
  • Fixed max. Wi-Fi key length on the web interface
  • Fixed timestamps in the exported call log
  • Fixed reboot when an unconfirmed APRS message is received
  • Various smaller fixes and improvements

v37

  • Fixed: some servers could only be connected after a reboot
  • Various smaller fixes and improvements

v34

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

v33

  • Added support for the new SharkRF Link app. This app lets you easily open the web interface of your SharkRF devices, and also use the app as a transceiver. See this page for more information.
  • Added power off if no charger connected delay
  • Added support for setting source callsign suffix for D-STAR cross mode calls and when using the SharkRF Link app
  • Added support for disabling talkgroup list usage
  • Updated the BrandMeister Manager to the latest BrandMeister API auth change
  • Added support for exporting all config profiles at once
  • Homebrew/MMDVM connector in 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
  • Fixed occasions when active profile overwrote the new profile after profile change
  • Fixed croaking sound when there are invalid seqnum errors/missing packets in the incoming C4FM network stream
  • Fixed profile #10 voice announcement
  • Various fixes and improvements

v24

  • 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.
  • Display the previous call log entries when loading the web interface
  • Added TCP keepalive support to be able to detect broken DAPNET/APRS connections
  • Added v2 API key support to the BrandMeister Manager on the web interface (note that v2 keys are stored in the browser, not in the device)
  • Fixed LED state change after enabling/disabling AP mode

v22

  • Now the openSPOT4 connects to the next configured Wi-Fi network if no internet access is detected, this behavior can be disabled on the Network page, Wireless settings section (enabled by default)
