P25RX Firmware Updates / Testing

[epersson]

It sounds more like a USB cable issue or some type of hardware issue since you cannot recover by cycling power. There is a new firmware change available that might help with a potential lockup issue, but it doesn't really sound like the issue you are having. Let me know if you try a different cable and you still have issues. If you think it is firmware, then please revert back to a previous version and see if the issue goes away. Don't hesitate to email if you like.

I may have seen the same issue. I figured it was me alone. But I’m on 12/13-0304. It ran for a couple weeks then as soon as I headed north I lost audio on both and the computer wouldn’t respond to vnc or rdp. Finally had a friend reboot the computer but only 1 p25 came up. I didn’t realize and he left so I can’t physically reset it until I go back down in a month. The other doesn’t respond at all to btConfig. I got one running. The other I’ll know more in a month.

It does sound like a hardware issue. You can always run the bootloader if you want to test code that never changes. I doubt it is the P25RX. The hardware is designed to be very robust. I've never seen damage to the USB interface yet (other than a single physically damaged connector). Let me know what you find when you test the bootloader.

Thanks. I’ll look next month. It was running untouched then the computer just wet away. I don’t have a monitor on it so no idea what happened. A computer power cycle brought one back up. The other isn’t responding. Haven’t unplugged it yet. Can’t until next month.

After thinking about some of these issues being reported for a bit, I'm thinking maybe this is related to the recent major update (ported update from the P25RX-II). I did add a USB interface speed option to the P25RX-II since then. I'll get this added to the P25RX and see if slowing down / speeding up the interface helps these with issues.

 

[btt]

An update on the USB interface speed option: This has fixed the issue for at least 2 people. They are using either the slow or medium speed. Try slow first, then move to medium.

Also, if you update to the latest, you may notice that there are a bunch of new buttons labeled 1-8. Please do this first thing after the update:

1) select all TG rows in the talk group editor. 2) Press the <Set Selected Zones> button. 3) Enter 1 for the zone. 4) Press the <Write Talk Groups> button. 5) Make sure the '1' button for the Zones is green. (press if not).

In the latest version, there are also new "Freq buttons". To set the frequency for each button, hold the shift key while pressing the left mouse button on the "freq button". This will allow you to input a frequency in MHz. After that, pressing the button is equivalent to the 'freq xxx' command in the console.

You can select what Zones will be enabled on power-cycle or a read of the configuration from the P25RX device. On the talk group editor tab, there are check-boxes for the zones. Setting these and writing the configuration will determine how the zones come up.

I updated to 01-06_1256, it updates the firmware very fast now. I tried entering a frequency on #1, the local weather 162.550, but didn't receive any audio. It popped up the window to enter the freq. I'll keep playing with it. Very cool features being added. Thanks @btt

. I tried entering a frequency on #1, the local weather 162.550, but didn't receive any audio.

If you are in P25 Mode , The freq command only changes the frequency - not the mode.

Guess I don't understand the feature then.

So how does it work? It didn't work changing to conventional.

 

[goldmyne99]

pressing the button is equivalent to the 'freq xxx' command in the console.

Yes, you are correct. The freq xxx command (and the new buttons) will change the frequency of the P25RX.

I am able to switch between two P25 trunked Control Channels with the new Freq buttons.

It didn't work changing to conventional.

I can not check changing freqs between two conventional channels. Hopefully, others can test to help answer that for you.

 

[btt]

The frequency buttons are a simple solution for quickly changing frequencies without having to re-write the configuration. They do not currently change the mode of operation. In some future version, they may allow more functionality. Once profiles, scanning is added then you will have more control over changing modes, levels, dwell time, etc. This will be the next big update.

I can confirm that the new freq buttons do not change frequencies in P25 conventional.
Frequencies do change correctly using freq XXX.XXX command in console.

I'm running 1-06-2359, noticing that roaming is no longer switching control channels. It will successfully do a DB test and identify local control channels, but when roaming is enabled, it appears to momentarily drop RX of the primary CC and then immediately pick it up at the roaming interval set. It never actually changes frequency.

@dispatchgeek, thanks. I didn't catch that one. New versions available that disable the frequency buttons when roaming is enabled.

New version fixed it. Thanks Todd!

Did I miss an update that fixed a problem with the end-of-call silence? That hasn't worked for me for a while, so want to make sure it's not something I did rather than an update problem. Thanks.

You are correct. That code got changed during the complete re-write of the P25 P1 code. The P25 P2 end-of-call silence probably never worked. It should work now for both models in versions 2022-01-08_0758/_0759.

I was using it, and thought it worked quite well. This new version hung on update and required a reset. So far, despite good signals, I've not had a single hit. Sunday morning may be slow. Will advise if the gap code is working again.

You probably didn't set up the TG zones after the update? It won't work right until the new TG ZONE column is initialized. I've added these instructions to the web site now for those that aren't following this thread:

Note: After Updating To To The Latest Version With TG Zone Support:
1) select all TG rows in the talk group editor. 2) Press the <Set Selected Zones> button. 3) Enter 1 for the zone. 4) Press the <Write Talk Groups> button. 5) Make sure the '1' button for the Zones is green. (press if not).

In the latest version, there are also new "Freq buttons". To set the frequency for each button, hold the shift key while pressing the left mouse button on the "freq button". This will allow you to input a frequency in MHz. After that, pressing the button is equivalent to the 'freq xxx' command in the console.

You can select what Zones will be enabled on power-cycle or a read of the configuration from the P25RX device. On the talk group editor tab, there are check-boxes for the zones. Setting these and writing the configuration will determine the default enabled zones on power up.

That did it. I saw it for earlier versions, and completely failed to make that change. Thanks. BTW - love the Blue Line flag on the website.

Running the 01-08 07:59 version. Log showing cc_freq of 0 on TDMA CC sites. RIDs are not reporting on a lot of transmissions.

Also, is the slot reported for the voice or cc channel? Running DSDplus at same time shows slot 1 as CC and 2 for voice. P25RX shows slot 0 most of time, occasionally slot 1.
