Programming the CRT Electro UV

Recently I wanted to add some repeaters to my CRT Electro UV. It is quite a cumbersome procedure.

Changing settings

Enter the menu with Fun
Use V/M and Main as up and down keys to browse through the menu
When you reach the setting, use Mon to enter the setting
Now you can use Up and Down to set the value
When all settings have been set correctly, use Fun to go back to the main screen

Storing the preset

On the mic press A/Fun and then the UP key on the mic
This puts you in "store" mode
Use Up and Down on the mic to select the memory bank you want to store
Now long press */Mon on the mic to store the preset in the memory bank

Setting repeater shift

Through the menu you can set the repeater offset. However, there is no option to set the repeater shift (+, -, off) through the menu. You have to use A/Fun + 9/Rpt to cycle through +, -, and off.

WiFi on the Xiegu X6100

So, I have this Xiegu X6100. It is basically a GNU/Linux machine running a dedicated radio application. I wanted to connect it to my WiFi network, but I could not manage to get it to connect.

I tried some different networks, and found out that it cannot connect to the WiFi if you have a space in the password. It just doesn’t want to connect. I got it to work from the command line. Here is what I did with my Macbook Pro and the radio.
