Updated Version of the Ryde Receiver

Post by G8GKQ » Tue Dec 29, 2020 4:43 pm

I have just released an updated version of the Ryde Receiver (202012250). The new features include:
  • Display of Received Frequency and SR as part of the on-screen display
  • Remote control channel up and down buttons change the selected preset
  • 8 additional remote controls included (details: https://wiki.batc.org.uk/Ryde_remote_co ... l_Handsets)
  • Optional 12-hourly reboot to ensure that receiver lock-ups can be cleared when in repeater use (ssh menu, Option 8 Advanced Settings, Option 5, Daily Reboot)
  • New builds based on the latest Raspios version
To update, simply log-in to the ssh console (using PuTTY or KiTTY), type menu, then use the down arrow to get to the update option.

Thanks to Tim MW0RUD for providing these enhancements, to all those who have provided remote control details and to the army of beta testers.

Dave, G8GKQ

Works well - thanks Tim and Dave.

I think the layout could do with a tidy up at some point - I know it's on the to-do list!

I would suggest something like this:

Update worked for me when run at 1653 GMT.

Was done remotely on the Ryde built into the GB3EY repeater.

73 & Happy New Year
