My DMR radio hears just fine, but the best explanation for the high bit error rate on transmit Is some kind of frequency drift.

I'm running OpenGD77 on an RD-5R, with an #OpenSpot4 as the hotspot.

I can see two, maybe three ways forward.

1. On the RD-5R, "Freq Adjust" from the calibration screen.
2. On the OpenSpot4, "Autocal" as described by https://manuals.sharkrf.com/openspot4/en/autocal-connector.html
3. Why not both?

Of the two Autocal looks easiest, and it will get me the best diagnosis out of the box.

There is a (very long) forum post from #VK3KYY crediting Dzmitry #EW1ADG with the "experimental" RD-5R firmware. When my radio boots it comes up as #OpenRD5R so to be sure it has been adapted.

This firmware opens up 220 as well, and I have read (dire) warnings that the RF spectrum on that is really awful.

I have an Airspy HF+ SDR that will tune to VHF, will try to get a spectrum capture from this radio.
