can’t find RT71 in shop and Retevis site
sorry, we stopped sell the RT71.
Hello, I want to understand what the “ID NO Match Call” and “CC NO Match Call” do when I am trying to receive anyone on a specific frequency, TS and CC.
I want to monitor a digital channel on TS2, CC14 with a receive group mulitple Talkgroups.
How should i set the Math call boxes?
hi, for your problem, here is:
ID NO MATCH Call: Means when you tick this on the software, it will ignore the ID( no matter group call ID or private call ID).
For example: Group call: if you tick this ID NO MATCH Call, when frequencies same, color color and TS are same, no matter which group call ID you chose, you can talk to others.Same as the Private call.
CC NO Match Call: Means when you tick this on the software, it will ignore the Color code value. No matter which color code you chose, just to make sure the frequencies,group ID(when private call make sure the Private ID), Contact and TS are same, then you can talk.
These two functions like the promiscuous mode.
If you want to monitor a digital channel, you need to know the frequency also. If you don’t know the group ID, you can tick the ID NO MATCH Call. Make sure the frequency, TS, CC are same as the channel you want to monitor, that’s all.
Have a try please, if any question, please leave message here or contact us by email: partner@retevis.com
So if I want to monitor a DMR frequency, I should tick both of these boxes, correct?
Then all is need to set is Frequency and TS, correct?
Thanks!
I haven’t tick both to have a try, maybe you can have try please!
You can set the frequency, and TS, and tick both to have a try please!
I understand that you stoped selling the model but the people who already bought it need to be able to find the programming software somewhere. Can you please tell me where I can download the programming software for this model?
