APX7000 Alpha Display Question

Post by Tom in D.C. »

On my 7K some of the channel displays come up in bold face and others show in light face. It looks to me as if the difference is determined by the number of characters requested. What I'm looking for is the switch in the FPP (if there is one) to force the display to use the light face type only.

All advice/replies are appreciated.

The font is determined by the number of characters. At least thus far, there have been no user controls allowed for the font. Sadly, the font in R05 firmware was much nicer and scaled better compared the R06 font... why Moto made that change, I have no idea.

Terry,

After trying a zillion permutations of the various alpha-setting keys I pretty much figured that I was stuck with the arrangement you describe. Too bad. If they just put in one function key for bold vs. regular (light) typeface it would be much better, I think. Onward and upward to improved future firmware setups. Thanks for the reply.
