Last Heard screen improvements
Posted: Thu Jun 11, 2020 10:52 am
I've uploaded a new development version
https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/ ... /D20200507
The main change is to the Last Heard screen.
It now has voice prompts, and each received station callsign or ID is now selectable and can be used to initiate a Private Call to that station.
The first line in the Last Heard screen is now highlighted, and the screen can be scrolled so that any callsign / ID in the last heard list can be selected.
Note.
I have also changed the way the Last Heard screen updates, so that it will only update in real time, with new incoming callsigns, if you do not scroll down. If you scroll down, the list does not update and re-scroll back to the top, because I found on busy TG's that it was impossible to scroll down the list to the station I wanted to select, as it was constantly getting reset back to the top.
To make a Private Call to someone in the Last Heard list, scroll down do that the callsign is highlighted, then press the Green button
The callsign should then be displayed as the Tx TG/PC, if the ID is either in the Digital Contacts or the DMRID database or in the Talker Alias data.
Note. Some received stations do not seem to contain any Talker Alias data, and in these cases the ID number is show.
This is an initial implementation of the ability to select a callsign from the Last Heard.
In future versions, selecting the Callsign will probably open a sub-menu to allow the Callsign to be added to the Digital Contacts or used directly for a Private Call.
But I have not had time to write a whole new menu for this.
FYI.
Previously, there was also a bug in the Last Heard screen which prevented it being scrolled down at all, but this has been fixed, and a maximum of 32 previously heard stations can be viewed or selected.
