    Ctcss is not accessible via the keypad on my ailunce hd1 gps when I try to program an analog repeater.
    Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

    1. Band A–C-DCC, then press “Scan”, activate the CTCSS tone. Then use up or down button to choose CTCSS frequency.

  3. HD1 Firmware 1.4.4-GPS on device. I cannot enter DFU mode. Software update does not start. I tried factory reset-all, still no success. Please advise.

  4. It would be Super Awesome of you made a High Power Mobile Radio exactly the same as the HD-1 from a SAR and a Mobile Command setting with PC control

    1. Do you go outside to activate the GPS, normally it need 10mins. and please make sure that channel turn GPS on.

  5. Hi.

    GPS cannot work, message after pushing Local GPS is Error satellite error and next when pushing on receive GPS: error ,list empty.

    1. When check GPS satellite, should go outside wait several mins until the GPS icon appeares. And please make sure that channel turn GPS on.

    Hello,

    If I write the GPS firmware update to a non-GPS HD1, will it be bricked? Can I then write the non-GPS firmware to it and will it work OK?

    I ask because I have an HD1, the menu does not have GPS, but I am not sure if the hardware is with or without GPS.

    Thank you.

    1. Hi, if your HD1’s menu doesn’t have GPS, it means your radio is non-gps, please upgrade your firmware with the Non-GPS version.

  7. somehow my hd1 is in kill mode
    cant get it unlocked?
    tried factory reset and get ” vco and all” but cant complete reset
    HD1 GPS 1.53
    tried the software and keep getting runtime error 400
    software keeps crashing on windows 10 which I think made this problem

    1. Don’t worry, you can reset your radio. Hold the Menu and Exit, then turn on your radio. You will see the VFO and ALL. Use the Up button to choose All, then click menu to confirm.

Adquirí un hd1 , pero al trasmitir su audio no sale, solo señal de portadora, tanto en analógico como digital, probé actualizando firmware, siguiendo los pasos del tutorial pero al encender el equipo, este trata de parpadear y no da inicio, se realizo el procedimiento varios intentos y todos son fallidos, ahora mi equipo esta inservible, que puedo hacer para recuperalo?
