[Consufing to users] A possible feature request for Channel window

Post by ok1pt » Mon Aug 03, 2020 12:04 pm

Hi!
I have a small request for the Channel window: Currently, possibility to enter the channel properties depends on the channel type - you can enter digital properties only for digital channels, and analog properties for analog channels. You can see the currently disabled properties, but they are greyed out.
Because current OpenGD-77 firmware approach takes channels as "dual mode" - you can switch between A and D modes just by one shifted keypress, it would be nice to allow entering both types of channel data at once, independently on the Channel Mode setting. It will simplify entering the channels where you really need to operate the channel in both modes, like on the multi-mode repeaters.
WIth regards,
Pavel

That would be easy, to enable those parameters which are currently disabled.

We disabled them in case people thought the CTCSS etc could be applied to DMR.

In the CPS the Analogue settings are disabled if the channel is set to Digital

I understand why it's disabled now. Maybe it would be nice to emphasize in the help texts, that the analog/digital properties are used only only in the corresponding channel modes.
