@turnpike61,
I think it was you that asked for this feature a few months back. version 2021-10-09_2005 now has options on the SearchDB tab for automatically adding primary, secondary, and neighbor sites to the roaming table. Once they are in the table, you can select them and add them to the flash. Once this is done, then enable roaming on the P25RX Config tab, set the timeout to 300 seconds, and write the config. Now the switch over to secondaries and neighbors will be automatic if the signal is lost.View attachment 110577

Just adding a note here for anyone not reading other threads.
If you are running on a Windows machine, at least 3 of us (for me, on 3 different machines) are having issues with BTConfig-2021-10-10_0740 (and a briefly previously released _2054). If you try to install and it fails, you'll need to close the software, and use the unplug USB cable, hold button for at least 10 seconds while plugging cable back in, then install previous firmware. In my case, I also had to use recovery firmware first.
Sometimes it hurts to be on the bleeding edge.

I don't think he meant the "Talk Group Timeout" as that would mean you would be setting on a TG for 5 minutes after end of transmissions!
I believe he meant the "Switch Control Channel After <300> Secs Of Inactivity (0=USE CC IDLE)" control.

Yes, I was referring to the Switch Control Channel timeout. You can make that number really high since it is a voice activity timeout. The receiver will switch to a different control channel (if roaming is enabled) on loss of signal after 10 seconds regardless of the timeout setting.
I have tried setting up roaming on a TDMA CC site. I simulated loss of site by disconnecting antenna. Upon reconnect the receiver cycles through all of the save roaming frequencies but does not lock on any active CC. Log attached. Does same thing if "Switch Control Channel after" is set to 300 or 0. Have to reenter freq of a valid CC to reestablish a site.
Thank you. I think I see why it isn't working. Please see 2021-10-13_0706 for an attempt to get this fixed.
I used to be able to roam rather well across several CC's on different systems, since the last update, this doesn't appear to work as well. I cannot quite put my finger on what is happening, but I sometimes get multiple entries in the tables (different emission types) which is confusing to see, since only one of them is identified as an active CC.
Also, fwiw, since choosing a different location for audio files than the default, that has become the default across everything, so that if I want to restore a talk group list or CC list, I have to navigate back to the original P25RX folder (which for me is on another drive).

The change to fix roaming for the TDMA CC mode would not have any effect on the roaming for the normal P25 mode. I did fix an issue in the zip-code search to prevent duplicate frequencies from being listed when the "include duplicate frequencies" option is un-checked. I think it should work as it did if you enable that checkbox. Unless you are referring to changes multiple versions back, I don't know what would be causing issues. Can you explain more about the different emission types?
@turnpike61, @dispatchgeek , I think I found and fixed the issue. This affects both the P25RX and P25RX-II. The solution is to not allow adding "secondary, neighbor" population of the roaming table while roaming mode is enabled. I'm pretty sure this will resolve the issue. 10-16_1955.

Control channel goes "brrrrr"
That definitely fixed it! Thank you.
Version 10-19_0520 available. This version makes the Display View tab that was recently added to the P25RX-II software available to P25RX owners. Let me know if you find any bugs. I'll attach a display view file that you can import to the editor that has most of the key-words in it. Note the $EVM_P$ keyword is not available on the P25RX yet. It will be in a future firmware update.
I like the Display View on version _0520. No issues noted, but I have only had it running for a few minutes.
What's the purpose of the key words? Is it to change what can be displayed on each line?

Yes. for example, the words like $RSS$ would be replaced with the current signal strength. If you put in the string "RSSI: $RSSI$ dBm", then the display might look like: RSSI: -95 dBm.

The DisplayView is slick! Are there keywords for CC Freq or RID Alias?
