Pocket25: A Digital Voice Decoder for Android

[AD8NT]

NE Ohio here: it's way too late for me to be up but here I am
Please give this one a try: DMRTest - Google Drive

Should work better now, might still have it's issues but should have fixed the crashing issues.
I'll check the release builds much more carefully as I didn't see many of these issues in debug builds.

These are the video settings for the app:



I guess drop it to 240P and go from there. I don't know what the quality or frame rate should be.

 

[rgchristy]

That didn't work. It's too blurry to read.

The screen size of the video is so small, even on 720P, that you can't read the DSD log.

Any suggestions?

 

[rgchristy]

Anyway, switching from Philly to Excelon with the newest version resulted in the same thing. I'm still seeing and hearing Philly activity, even though it says it's on the Excelon site and frequency.

I just have to figure out how to capture the DSD logs, so that you can see what's going on.

What apps are everyone else using?

 

[rgchristy]

Switching from Philly to Excelon did it again. The DSD log in the 1080P video is viewable. It's a 59MB video.

Check your PM. I'm sending you a link to my DropBox for the video. I couldn't figure out how to split it.

Hi, rgchristy

Video settings:
Resolution 720P
Quality 8Mbps
FPS 25 or 30

Shorten video length to keep your file size small.

You can also upload it to a free site like WeTransfer and share it with Sarah's email.

Has the crashing improved since the last test release?
I'm reviewing all the videos I've been sent (thank you very much for those everyone!) and I'm currently trying to replicate them on my end with a Phase 1 system and a conventional DMR channel. Which seems to be working for the RTL and RTL_TCP, but I'm seeing the issues you're all having with switching.

Maybe the issue is that I don't have multiple systems to test with and the issue doesn't happen with conventional DMR?

I'd like to push an update to give everyone DMR support but I need to know we're at least improving before I do that.
Thanks again everyone for your help!

With regards to crashes, I only had two when trying to Start the Advanced Scanning, but I could not reproduce them again.
Besides that I didn't have any other crash.

Alright, yeah advanced scanning hasn't worked for you very well from the beginning :/
Glad to hear you didn't have crashes outside of that, I know I had reports of crashing on site switch for a while.

One thing I noticed in the latest test app is I started a P25 P1/2 system, it locked onto the correct control channel, but after a few minutes it changed control channels to an inactive one, locked onto it, but continued to receive traffic.

I have never experienced a crash.

Phase 1 system still crashes. Audio is breaking up. TSBK is freezing up, mine stopped at 38408. When it locks on a active frequency all is well, but then scans to a inactive one and shows locked.

 

[AD8NT]

Locking onto an inactive frequency is something I have also run into, it's a bug I'm still looking into but had not had any reports of it until now. Thank you for letting me know

 

[cheif]

It's been happening for quite awhile. When you are working on the bug it would be nice if you could add a continue tab or button on the scan screen so when you're in-between site's or hung up on a frequency you could move to the next. Just a thought. Keep up the great work.

The issue is that DSD is capable of auto-tuning, I've stunted that a bit by giving it a flush duration where I lock out re-tunes and for system switches, for me, that seems to be working.

However we're also getting issues where because of the retuning that DSD does Pocket25 doesn't see that retune and so the display becomes out of sync with DSD.

 

[rgchristy]

I'm just getting started for today. Anything in particular that you're looking for in testing?

 

[rgchristy]

Down the road, would it be possible to add color codes to the DMR LCNs please? We have DMR systems in the same general area, using the same frequencies, but with different color codes.

I think that's why I'm receiving unusual TGIDs on some of the DMR systems.

Right now I'm just trying to get system switching down solid before the next release

 

[cheif]

Is it possible that the hopping command even though it's off is still running in the background. I know it's for finding the closest site when traveling it appears to be looking for a single all the time maybe setting off the auto-tuning. Just a thought.
