An updated version of NXCore has been installed on the Kenwood server, which should enable Short Digital Messaging (text messages) from your radio, to other radios on a talkgroup (not individual) basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All repeaters connected to the Florida Kenwood NXCore server, have had this feature enabled, but we need your help to test it. Please attempt to send text messages across a talkgroup, with the recipient on another connected repeater. Let us know your results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some limitations: Initially, we are testing repeater-to-repeater on the same server only. We have not yet enabled the passing of messages between other Core servers in the network. If it works locally, we’ll try to broaden the scope. Also, as with voice mode, the messages will not go between Kenwood and Icom\/hotspots at this time (rest assured, we’re still working on that part).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For users on the Icom network, we have a little more debugging left to do, but we plan to roll out a similar test on the Icom side very soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many thanks to Robert Thoelen for his continued work on NXCore, without whom none of this would be possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
