Não funciona adequadamente

Muito bugs, não consigo transmitir apertando PTT, não escuto áudio quando acessando de rede externa, mesmo conectado e acessando o rádio

Response from developer

Olá, obrigado pelo feedback. Para o áudio e o PTT, vale conferir as configurações do rádio no capítulo de instalação do manual: KNS Operation "On (LAN)" ou "On (Internet)" para acesso externo, Built-in VoIP "On" e a entrada LAN para DATA SEND/PTT. Para acesso externo também é preciso liberar a porta 60000 (TCP) e a porta 60001 (UDP) no roteador. Além disso, use um usuário extra no rádio, não o ADMIN. Mais detalhes estão em https://ham-radio-apps.com/manuals. Se ainda não funcionar, use "Contact Support" na aba Settings do app. Eu, Marcus, terei prazer em ajudar e vou acompanhar você até que tudo funcione. Best 73, Marcus, DL8MRE
