Yes, I've tried that, thanks.

Not, reshaped, it reposted. Damn Apple autocorrect!

Excellent cheat sheet. It should be formalized and checked by someone else (me?) and reshaped. If we had a website or space to archive things here a more formal version (with attribution) should be there.

James:?
These documents (Appendix 1 & 2, as I reecall, are useful in figuring how to enter your call sign and the canned messages for RTTY and CW. (I am strictly a CW ?op, so I can’t comment on SSB et al.)

In my version, it is not possible to send an S or a Z, a problem for W9ZSJ. I think the firmware is looping based on the assumption that letters may be grouped in 3’s, as on an old telephone or celll phone KB. But, there are two buttons there which have 4 characters. The extras are - guess what - de W9ZSJ.

I will be interested to see if the new release fixes this.

Bob: Your experiences and similar ones are the reasons this group exists. For me, the Manual 2.2 is deficient in many ways which I won’t mention here - well, just one: There is no mention of the FM Commercial Band Radio accessible from the Settings. It is excellent (entering a frequency manually requires “backspacing” o.1MHz) and I can’t figure out how to set the 5 “push button” settings at the bottom of the display.

I don’t have the DMR module and after watching the Chinese video on howto istall it, I probably will not try. But the Russian reviewer identifies your problem and mentions a workaround which I didn’t quite understand. You can read my translation posted In the Weblinks section (Topic).

I have a long list of deficiencies and corrections to Manual 2.2.

”So many things to do, so little time.”

I think this is the version I have been working with and “rewriting” wen I find a nugget of information.?

I hope three is a better version. Barring that I hope that a Chinese manual may be obtained., preferably on line.
Googol is pretty good at translating.

I can’t believe that Chinese hams would tolerate the type of manual I have seen nor the absence of any written details.

Charles:

Did you learn anything about DFM? I asked at y ham breakfast in Palatine, I, not far from former Moto HQ and the two Moto retirees knew it not.

Have you checked your power settings? PA??

Dick

Has anyone else had this problem?

After all the confusion of finding an understandable and useful manual (it was in the USB dongle that came in the box, I thought that was for firmware-only so never looked on it), I finally have exhausted all options and cannot get the radio to transmit a usable signal on VHF or UHF. I can hear the transmissions on an HT in the room, but no real output, and the ammeter on my power supply for it shows only a slight increase in power being drawn, maybe half an amp, no matter the "PA" setting . In addition, the receive sensitivity seems to be a lot lower on those bands, and the UHF has a constant pulse noise on the one frequency I want to tune it to, even if nobody is on it.

Has anyone else had this problem, or do I have a defective radio?

Or worse, did I transmit before knowing which output, (SMA or PL259) is the proper port, and blew the finals on VHF/UHF? That is a possibility, I agree!

,not connect.

Confusing, huh!

To make matters worse, the picture of the back of the radio in the 2.2 manual shows ANT1 as the SMA port, but on the real radio Q900 version 3 I got, that is labeled Ant2!

At any rate, neither output SO239 or SMA puts out any signal. I have the "FULL" version, with DMR, compass, GPS? modules added.

Thanks, ?Philip. I am posting the three links which appeared within the past two weeks and another which was done 7 months ago. I used TinyUrl.com to simplify.

hi Jim
look #60 from me just Yesterday

So.. that's a no on the sharing then??

This channel has a good series of videos on Q900

That’s brilliant. Thanks James.

Sincerely,

I have been on the WhatsApp channel for two days and got most of my answers within an hour! I don't know how to invite people or get the link, but? I got it from a scan from my dealer on eBay, fineshop. Here is what I scanned it from, I don't know if it will show here as it's an image:

I'll bet that is the original What's App Q900 site!

An updated English version of the Operator Manual, Technical Reference, and Quick Start guide are due to be released in the next week or so. I’ve been working with the developers on this for a while now. Will make sure everyone here is notified.

James MARTIN

copied from my stick :-)

Great report, Bob, and very encouraging. I hope to try the Q900 on CWT "soon".

Good to hear that N2MM worked well. Now to find the time to do what needs to be done around here.

I originally ordered blue and after some months got black.?
