...I see now that is not what this is, but a custom display for the info at the bottom of the display screen.
In addition to being what gets displayed at the bottom of the display view, it also determines what gets written to the recmeta log files. I'm still working toward getting the scanning profiles added.

Version 2021-11-05_0501 is available for the P25RX. This is a major firmware update with many improvements to voice decoding / synthesis.

Trying latest version. Noticing a couple of things in the Display View popout on TDMA CC sites. For the group log the scroll bar moves to bottom of window at beginning of each call. Have to pull it back up to see latest call. Also seeing "$V_FREQ$" in log vs actual freq. on some calls.

These issues should be resolved. The scroll bar works differently now. If you scroll it all the way down to the max, then it will maintain the max position as new records are added.

Scroll bar working. Frequency in log shows up as '3.6f MHz' now.
Thanks. I have it fixed in 11-05_0940, but I am currently unable to edit that part of the web site. Will get it linked when it starts working again. I will send you a direct link via email.

edit: It is available on the website now.
Not sure which version this started with over the past day or two but with the latest 11-05_0940,
talkgroups that I have not checked because I do not wish to hear them, are still being heard and displayed in the TG Log window but displayed as (unknown tgroup) without the talkgroup name I'd assigned. I did find this only happens if I change any talkgroup name or unselect a talkgroup and then do a talkgroup write.
It looks like I can correct this by closing BTConfig plus I power cycled the P25RX just in case and the problem appears to go away but comes back immediately after I make any changes in the TG editor screen and write the changes.

EDIT: I think I narrowed this down to the naming of a brand new never seen talkgroup. I gave it a name and then wrote the talkgroups to the P25RX. That's when all talkgroups that were not selected started being heard but displaying as an unknown tgroup.

I added a 2nd new talkgroup on the system and the same issue occurred. Once I restart BTConfig after making my name changes and writing the talkgroups, everything works as it should it seems.

This does not appear to be working. As my talkgroup log window fills up, new logs are off the bottom of the window.
If I drag the slider down to the max bottom position, any new logs are still shown off the screen again. This happens in the TG Log window as well as in the detached Display View Popout as well. I must constantly drag the right hand slider down to see new talkgroups as they are added now.

That is strange. Usually purely java stuff like the scrollbar works the same on all platforms. I figured out a way to do it like it was in the past. I think it should work now (11-05_1511). I have not been able to reproduce the TG editor issue yet. I don't have an idea what is happening there. Could you try backing up your talk groups and then restoring them? Does the issue persist after that?

I'll play with the talkgroups more. After I'd made that post, I found that an empty talkgroup line had been created somehow more or less about halfway through the talkgroup list. I have no idea where it came from but it did let me delete it. Since finding and deleting the empty talkgroup line, I've not seen the problem I reported so that could have been the cause.

I'll report back if I do find further similar issues but I think that was the cause!

I'll give 1511 a try and see if the talkgroups continue scrolling at the bottom of the display like they did before.

I meant to mention before that the console display does still scroll new lines at the bottom like it always did!

1511 did fix the scrolling issue Todd!

Version 11-06_1048 fixes a few more bugs introduced by the recent changes. Also added new TG log trigger options. By default, it logs on an RID update. You can select log on voice audio, voice grant, or non-zero RID only. You can also enable all of the options.

There was a coding error in the recent updates to P25 P2 voice synthesis. This was already announced in the P25RX-II thread. It also applies to the P25RX. Initial reports from that are positive. Please test P25 P2 for version 11-06_1138 and report the results. Thank you!

Using 2021-11-08 1043 - the P1 audio is good but P2 audio sounds like it's going through a verbal cheese grader - very choppy.

I tried Max V-Frame Repeats of 0 and 10 and could not tell any significant difference.

This is the first feedback I had for the latest P25RX firmware, but it should be the same as the P25RX-II which I've heard is very good now. This might be manufacturer specific issue. I can only guess from your description. I'll send a link to a version with different hang-time handling.

There are more changes to P2 code for both models available in the latest fw. I'm trying to get to the bottom of the issues that some are having with the latest changes asap. The more feedback the better. Email me directly if you prefer.

Todd,
I just noticed that, in the TG Log section, my Alias settings are not showing up, just the RID. But, they are showing in the Display View tab. Can you verify that? I am on 2021-11-08 1648. Thanks.
