Version 12-09_1316 has been running fine on Win 10 for a couple of hours now. I'm going to leave the latest changes in. The next update will be a very large change. I'm sure there will be a few things to fix after that. We can just go from there. I leave 11-16_2326 up for now.
P25RX Firmware Updates / Testing

Todd was able to find the problem. It was related to the Reference Frequency. As has been previously mentioned, Todd's customer service is EXCELLENT as always.
@btt listening to the above feed. The patch I think worked perfectly as they patched two channels earlier. But I am sure now I am getting short dropouts with this version. I listened comparing to the sds. The previous rev I was running I don’t remember it had the dropouts Thanks as usual.Hi, Sorry... ;-(
Besides the new strange console formatted messages, I think with my uncalibrated ear that the audio is a very slight bit more choppy with this release than the versions I was running previously 702 was one of them. every now and then there are short burps in the conversations.

I get great audio from a small BOSE speaker except I can't figure out how to shut Bluetooth off on the P25RX. Apparently the BOSE goes into sleep mode when you press the power button and then auto shutoff after 30min. So it seems I'm stuck with audio unless I turn off the radio LOL
You can kill Bluetooth on the P25RX by unchecking "enable Bluetooth" on the P25RX Configuration page and writing the configuration. Or you can temporarily disable it with the following console commands:
$ bt 4
$ bluetooth 0

Running now. Audio is good as usual. Been running ten minutes. When updating firmware I had to restart receiver and program.
Shut down is doing the same thing as the rxll was where it would stop the program but not close. I have to end it in task manager (Windows 10). You were able to fix the other version so I'm not concerned.
I will continue to test when time is available. I leave them running 24/7.
I can't thank you enough for your hard work. If there's any testing you need done let me know. It's a busy week but I will devote any time I have.
Audio is great as I post this!

Updated to 12-13_2126
Update immediately failed during initial "resetting device"
Close software; unplug device; re-plug with 10 second button hold and install proceeded correctly.
On initial startup, DMR screen was so jittery I almost could not enter frequencies. Once frequencies written, this stopped.
I will test this AM on several DMR systems.

You've got something weird going on with DMR (Con+). System being monitored has 1 CC (938.3875) and 2 VC (936.7500 and 939.4625). Note, no 915.000 programmed (LCN4 on DRM tab is completely empty). Yet this happens (replicated after re-write freqs x2). This does not happen on RX-II. [Bolding mine; Full log excerpt in pastbin]
Edited to add: possible the site has activated a previously unused frequency. I'm adding that now to see what happens--but still weird behavior on RX-II different than RX-I.

@Vermonster, thanks for testing. I don't know why the DMR entry screen would be "jittery". Did you have the window completely maximized when this happened? Your post reminded me that I forgot to port over the DMR backup/restore functions. That is now done in version 12-14_0314. I'm sure there are others that will appreciate that too! I was able to do a little DMR testing and found that the default of Rx Model 3 did not do well for DMR. The new RX Model default is 0. The reason you are seeing a frequency of 915 is because there is an invalid frequency due to the empty field for LCN4 (915 MHz is used when the frequency is invalid). Maybe they added a new frequency to the system for LCN4? Some unused options were also removed from the advanced tab.

Jittery screen was both maximized and resized. I will try to replicate.
Confirmed, 915 appears if CC specifies voice call on LCN that is blank; indeed system fired up new VC frequency.
I need to do more testing, as something is still not correct. I appreciate the backup/restore. That will let me test identical setups across RX-I/II without risk of fat finger errors.
Agree RX model 0 is better for me; on both RX-I and RX-II.

Quirk that does not seem to impact performance.
Despite multiple writes with different frequencies, the upper right display on multiple tabs shows a prior frequency

@btt updating to 0314 both locked up at resetting device. LEDs blinking fast on devices. Status scroll bar never started moving. Shut down BTConfig and restarted and it continued. tsbk_ps always shows 0 but RF Sig shows green. Wrote config twice now get blocks in the 45-55 range
On the roaming system I'm getting Grants on the console screen but with P2 systems nothing shows on the TG log screen. The P1 system populates the TG log and the console log displays normal.
Getting this on P2 console screen no TG Name and nothing in the TG Log.

The frequency display should clear on <write-config> in the latest version.
Please go to the TG Log tab and press edit. Check all of the log triggers. Does P2 log for you after doing that?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
New version available. EVM calculations and display are added in 12-14_0545
I did that the other day, will do it again now.
