BCDx36HP Update 1.17.00

Files for UpMan

These files should contain data regarding NXDN4800 Trunked System which stops on TG an then there is no audio

Also the lack of Alias showing up consistently.

One thing I noticed is that when you site hold you cannot hold an agency as well

Another issue I am noticing only after 1.17.00 and it is constant:

For any talkgroup or radio ID that is set to sound a customized alert tone on the 436 when it has activity, the playback will be completely choppy and inaudible.

Button presses while on digital system are non-responsive. I have to HOLD the volume button down for changes to take effect.

Yup. A few of us have already identified this bug. Hopefully it gets addressed in another update.

Yep....few of us have reported this as well and hope it's on the list too.

can someone tell me how to get Alias to work on a nexedge system with the new update

Turn on Display Unit ID in the scanner's display settings, and essentially it should just start working, as long as the system you're listening to has aliases programmed.

When you place a Site hold on a P25 system, you cannot place a Department hold until you remove the Site hold. All prior firmware versions allow setting Site and Department holds simultaneously.

One other oddity I noticed but not sure if 1.17 related or just a fluke.

I usually use the scanner in the house connected to my WIFI but occasionally go mobile with it. I use ProScan on my desktops and laptop for logging and recording.

I updated to 1.17 and went to use it in my truck before I ran it on my local network. I set it for Access Point Mode but could not get it to create the network. I would see Network Name, then security, then password but then it would pause and go back to the WIFI menu without finishing. After 3 tries, I was thinking the WIFI module was broken.

I went back into the house and set it up on my home network with Infrastructure Mode, instant connection. I then tried going through the AP Mode again and it went right into it. It appeared to need a LAN connection set then I could change it to the AP Mode

I don't recall from back when I bought it if I had to do that first but I had to this time.

That's been an issue for quite a while. IIRC it is an issue with the wi-fi dongle firmware.

Oddly enough, you can place the Department hold, then the Site hold, and that works. Just not the other way around.

Thats a pain.

 

[captainmax1]

I don't have the Site/Department Hold issue at all. My only problem is with DMR not decoding properly on some systems as stated in my earlier post. Seems like different problems for different folks. Strange. I did like that P25 systems seemed to work better with the last several updates. Even the simulcast issues were better while driving around Miami and seemed much clearer with latest updates. Hopefully with new updates we can have our cake and eat it too.

Continue at V1.18.00 Update.

OK I gave up on LCN Finder for the jail system (CAP+ with RAS). Over a dozen transmissions heard on the system, and LCN Finder still 0/2. Here's the debug log:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!ApJIS-l4xqPtgvFD4-DtkwcY4Detuw

One interesting thing: In previous firmware versions, you were more likely to catch RAS traffic if programmed conventional than MotoTRBO Trunked. But in 1.17, the conventional channels picked up little or no traffic on the jail system, and the MotoTRBO system picked up pretty much the same traffic as DSD+.

On non-RAS CAP+, programming conventional or MotoTRBO picked up pretty much the same traffic (basically everything), with the conventional channel hanging on the rest channel data chirps and the MotoTRBO system showing talkgroup info.

If the system is not busy, it can take extra time to determine that the system uses RAS. Try with 1.18.00.

Went and tested v1.17 on the same NXDN48 DFA system I had tested with earlier versions. I entered only the current Control Channel and then used LCN Finder. It immediately found the 1 channel and I hit enter. System then set to scan with no luck. Looking at the System, the LCN saved was 20693
There was a couple of "hits" but one was a radio ID rather than a TG (not a private call). The other was a previously seen TG but I had no activity on DSDPlus at the same time.

I made several debug logs. One of them caught the control channel change (log0603973).
View attachment 63854

Not sure if it is helpful but the LCN finder results from the 2 tries are different but there was 2 different CCs.
20693 = 464.66875 this trip - DSDPlus says LCN is 80
20012 = 462.25000 last trip - DSDPlus says LCN is 77

Also, to throw another wrench into the works, this system changes Control Channels daily so having only 1 channel programmed it will not work.

This is ESPN and shows Site 5. Perhaps folks in Austin Texas can give it a shot with WQWJ529 or WQUS741 if those are NXDN48 DFA

I forgot about the debug recording from the active voice channel, I will have to make another trip.

>>>>>>>>>
From UPMan in 1.16 thread:
For NXDN DFA, just set the control channel frequency and run LCN finder. No need to put in the voice channels. If it does not work well, please capture logs from the control channel and one voice channel in conventional mode.

Your log information:

Frequencies:
451.70000 MHz
452.67500 MHz
461.41250 MHz
462.03750 MHz
462.25000 MHz
462.53750 MHz
463.23750 MHz
463.56250 MHz
464.66875 MHz (Control Channel)

TGID: 1001, 1101, 1201, 1206, 1401, 1406, 1407, 1414, 1418

There is one I-Call message.


Please try new firmware.

I appreciate your cooperation.

There seems to be an incorrect combination of frequency and LCN.
LCN 325, 337, and 341 are not received on the voice channel.

Please check them, and try new firmware.
