PPS Version 4.0.38 Released

[belvdr]

1. Added P25 Trunking Public Resource import/export functionality.
2. Step 5 in Key List supports importing .ekf files.
3. For Radio Reference API, if the imported profile doesn't support P25 Trunking, there will be a prompt that appears and says,"The profile does NOT support P25 Trunking."
4. Custom Alert Tone and Voice Prompt deletion should prompt for confirmation, similar to other delete actions.
5. Modified profile to support multiple selections for deletion and export.
6. Addressed issues when importing old versions of profiles into the new PPS (V00-03-16-29F converted to V00-04-00-36).
7. Regardless of Full Spectrum Scan activation, ensure that PPS fills in default values for fields of Full Spectrum Scan.

#1 is a very welcome feature!

Agreed. I haven't had a chance to install or test this update yet. I'm curious if it fixes an issue where a Gx won't come back into range after leaving. For me, that happened with 4.0.36 but not the 3.x series with the same firmware.

I can confirm the pager will come back in range after going out of range like normal after programming with 4.0.38

Sweet, thanks for the update! I need to get some time to work on this too.

I upgraded to this version today from PPS 3, and when I try to login to Radioreference to import, it says invalid username or password. When I try to login from PPS 3, I have no problems. Has anyone else experienced this?

No. Works fine for me.

 

[dhmann1811]

No issues with mine.

 

[pokey]

Not sure what the problem is. I’ve restarted my computer and still experiencing the same thing. Sign-in works perfectly on here and on my previous version of the PPS!

 

[jtwalker]

You need to use your RR id (so pokey), not your email. Are you doing so in PPS?

Yep! Login works on PPS version 3, but not on version 4.

I am attempting to import a .csv file of the MOSWIN system control channels that have a mix of VHF, 700 and 800 frequencies and it appears the PPS is not allowing me to add both the VHF and 700/800 frequencies into one system, the model is a G5VHF.

When I import directly from Radio Reference it seems to work fine.

Anyone aware of a trick to make it work while importing from a .csv file?

Just something to try, don't know if it would work.

Try two different CSVs. One with VHF and the other with 700/800. I think there is a check box for replacing existing data, keep an eye open for that. If you still get an error. Try again, but reverse the order of the CSVs you import.

Thank you. I attempted this with no luck, the check box say "delete all old data" and I attempted with the box both checked and unchecked.

After using the 'Import Radio Reference' tool to add several trunking systems to the 'P25 Trunking System Manager' I noticed the blank spots in the 'Band' section, those being the systems with both VHF and 700/800 sites.


I also noticed after pulling the MOSWIN system in from the 'Customer Public Resource Manager' that the 'Control Channel List' was showing "The range of RX frequency is: 136~174, 763~776, 851~870 MHz".


After noticing that I used the 'Add' button and selected 'Import .cvs from RadioReference.com and add VHF System' and after doing the import the 'Control Channel List' was showing "The range of RX frequency is: 136~174 MHz", as one would expect,


but from that point forward I was unable to get the PPS to allow me to update/add the 700/800 MHz sites/frequencies to the system.

It seems to me that the PPS needs an option to import/create a multi-band system or do away with the band specific selections all together.

I download and instal V0.4.0.48, but it’s not replace the previous version. Now I have two version of PPS. No problem at all

Yes, this is how it works when you install a new version of PPS.

sorry typo, I mean V.0.4.0.38

 

[ErikSwan]

Yes, this is how it works when you install a new version of PPS.

Is there a way to upgrade, or at least import all the profiles and CPRM entries from the previous version?

This is my first time upgrading to a new version of CPS and when I launch V0.4.0.38, everything is just blank. None of the systems in the Customer Public Resource Manager that I had in V0.4.0.36 are populated.

Do I have to redo everything from scratch?

 

[jtwalker]

Hmmm, I don't recall losing my CPRM entries when upgrading to 0.4.0.38, but I believe I did lose all the profiles.

The profiles can be moved over by copying everything from C:\ProgramData\Unication\G_Series_PPS_V00-04-00-36\ to C:\ProgramData\Unication\G_Series_PPS_V00-04-00-38\ assuming you are coming from 0.4.0.36.

Or you can export from prior version and import to new version if this feels safer to you.
