DSDPlus DSDPlus FL 2.155 Question - Delay option

[BM82557]

I am using FL 2.155.

#1 - It looks like DELAY=<num> has no effect when using FMPA in scan mode

#2 - What is the largest value in seconds that is valid when using the DELAY option? I would like to use a 3-digit number such as 300 (5 minutes)

The delay works for me, if a signal with voice ends it does delay waiting to see if there is a continued transmission, it moves on once the delay time ticks by else. I have found that if the scan list is not formatted correctly then you can experience unpredictable result.

I have never used a value greater than 10 myself, so don't know about max duration.

Forgot to put in the original post that in this particular situation I have FMPA in -rc mode, my intent is to scan the control channels of multiple systems but to delay on each for a length of time.

Yes, I do the same thing and unfortunately there is no delay on a frequency before a voice is detected.

About 6 months ago I requested the developers to include a "WAIT" function for scanlist that would wait on a frequency for X seconds before continuing the scan, having both WAIT=X and DELAY=X would in my opinion be ideal.

Anyway, if perhaps more folk made the request it would be incorporated.

Thanks for your reply. DSDPlus developers, the wait function would be a great feature update.
