Scanner Screen software for 436 and 536

[Jay911]

If you have the HP-1 please run this program and paste the output to this forum when the scanner is idle and active.

Idle/scanning:

<DataHP1>RMT<#9>STATUS<#9><#9><#9>0<#9><#9><#9><#9>Clearwater<#9><#9><#9>0<#9>1<#9>0<#9>Local<#9><#9>0<#9>0<#9>0<#9>2760</HP1Data>

Note: "Clearwater" was the system tag and "Local" the favorites list, but they were only on screen because the scanner was scanning through them.

Here is what I am able to determine based on Jays info.

The number at the end of each line is the field number.

Question is there is one more field than documented, field 19 anyone know what this field is?

FUNCTION:
Get current radio status.
PARAMETER:
[freq/tgid] Frequency or TGID
[mode] Modulation (AM/FM/NFM)
[att] Attenuation status (0: OFF / 1: ON)
[ctcss/dcs] CTCSS/DCS Status (0-231)
*See CTCSS/DCS CODE LIST for the details of this code.
[p25nac] P25 NAC Status ( 0-FFF: 0-FFF / NONE: NAC None)
[svc_tag] Service Type ID
*See Service Type ID List for the details of this.
[name1] system name
[name2] department name

I'm not sure. Those numbers have no bearing on the signals I received. Could be "window voltage"?

 

[garetgarrett]

That last field (19) is the checksum.

 

[mrkelso]

All you need is this Cable and you are in business without having to worry about the thing crashing into Mass Stupid Mode.

 

[mrkelso]

And away we go

 

[garetgarrett]

Interesting . I wonder if you can use the serial port at the same time you're using the usb mass storage mode?

Good question but since my Mass storage usb is not working i have no way of testing it. The uniden driver for that front port is lacking.

I would highly doubt it, because during mass storage mode, the SD card is "disengaged" from the radio, software-wise, to allow for it to be opened as a Windows "removable drive".

Good Point

No, it disconnects.

How many people would use Scanner Screen for the HP-1

Before I make the coding changes I am wondering how many people would use Scanner Screen with the HP-1.

 

[mrkelso]

536
996XT
996T
is where i would use it, I would love to see real time screen while scanning if that is possible.

Jay do you have a pc or mac?

 

[Vonskie]

That last field (19) is the checksum.

thank you

 

[Jay911]

PC. Both machines run Win7 Ultimate x64 but I have the ability to run XP in a VM.

Ok when I get the HP-1 support added I will send you a PM with link to test it.

I'll vote for it also!

[Dafe1er]

I'll vote for it also!

I have nothing to loose to try it with my HP-1.




Thanks once again.
