EZ-Scan DMR Import Bug

[Forts]

I just noticed this morning that it sometimes imports incorrect talkgroups for DMR systems. After importing a few channels local to me I wondered why I wasn't receiving any traffic... turns out the talkgroups are all wrong.

I was importing the following:

Lambton County, Ontario (ON) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

Lambton County - Sarnia

- Sarnia Fire TAC 1 thru 4
- Sarnia Transit
- Sarnia CareAvan
- Sarnia works

In the EZ-Scan import wizard the talkgroups show the proper values but after importing I'm seeing this:

Talkgroup       Correct TG     Imported TG
SFRS TAC 1       15378490       43066
SFRS TAC 2       15378491       43067
SFRS TAC 3       15378492       43068
SFRS TAC 4       15378494       43070
Transit          51234          51234 (ok!)
CareAvan         51235          51235 (ok!)
Works            2912041        28457

If you look at 13578490 in hex it's 00EA A83A, while 43066 is A38A so it seems any bytes over FFFF are being thrown away. I've also submitted this to the bug report email address that Wendy provided. So if you are importing DMR users with large talkgroups, double check what is actually being imported!

What version of EZScan do you have? Whistler did a fix on that a few revs ago.

Most current rev (2.15)

Hmmm... strange. I just exited the app, restarted and made a new, blank configuration. Imported the above channels and they came in correctly. How bizarre! It was 100% repeatable using my existing configuration with the current app.
