R1CBU / R2RFE - FT8 issue with prefixed callsign


 
Edited

Hi! I'm writing to check if you've encountered a similar issue with the R1CBU/R2RFE firmware. I'm using the latest version, 0.29.2.

During my recent trip to Crete, Greece, when I tried to use the FT8 application with a callsign that includes a Crete-specific prefix (in my case, SV9/SP9HGN/P), the application did not work properly. The issue can be seen in the attached video.

Interestingly, single-letter prefixes (e.g., F/SP9HGN/P) work correctly.

  1. Can anyone confirm this behavior in the firmware?

  2. @Georgy, do you have any suggestions on what in code I could check first for a potential fix?

To be honest, I haven¡¯t looked into this bug in detail yet, as I¡¯ve just returned from vacation. However, I¡¯d like to work on resolving it soon, since I¡¯m planning a trip to Spitsbergen around July/August, where I¡¯ll be operating as JW/SP9HGN/P. Being able to work FT8 directly from the radio would make things much simpler. I'm open to any suggestions.
