I am noticing that with the filter set to 'none', after I transmit the cc changes from the setting in the code plug to 0 and the net time I transmit it transmits on cc0. This happens on the hot and digital simplex. The result is that I am sending out the wrong cc. It does not happen if I have the filter set to CC. If the filter is set to CC all functions correctly. I confirmed the CC actually does change by going to a simplex frequency on another HT and testing.
I checked the code and it is not resetting the CC analysis histogram after you transmit.

Your radio must be receiving noise which its interpreting as a DMR signal on another CC.

I could possibly preload the histogram with a value to bias it towards the CC that is defined for the channel, but this would slow down the detection of other CC's and also in your case I doubt it would fix the problem.

Disabling the CC is not intended for normal operation

I was sure it wasn't noise, so I jury-rigged a dummy load (too many connectors, but all good connectors) and tried to trigger this bug again. Weirdly it didn't change the CC to 0 when I tried it. That's when I discovered that it only does it (for me at least) when the radio has just been turned on. With the dummy load it still triggers this bug.

What are the steps to reproduce this problem ?

What CC does the display read ? CC0 ?

For me the steps are, with a channel programmed for CC1 and with Filter: None:

Power on radio. CC1 is displayed.
Press PTT. CC1 is transmitted.
Release PTT. CC0 is displayed.
Press PTT. CC0 is transmitted.
(Release PTT.)

Ah.

OK.

I can see this if I go to a simplex freq and when there is no reply.

Ah, those are details I assumed couldn't have any impact. Software is magical, right?

I've been able to trigger the bug in duplex, but it seems to take a few tries and maybe take longer. Haven't tried it on a repeater because I don't want to annoy.

The problem is occurring because the C6000 issues a system interrupt even when there is no received signal, and when this happens the received CC seems to be 0

Unfortunately 0 is a valid CC number.

I have tried checking the CRC flag when the received CC is read, but its falsely reporting a valid CRC.

There may be some other bit of data that can be checked to confirm whether the radio is actually receiving a signal, but at the moment I don't know what that would be.

I think I can improve the CC detection problem if I only update the CC when the CACH is valid, but its not a perfect solution.

There is a bug :
Start scan
Click left arrow --> scan its inverted to down frequency
stop scan with any key
click arrow UP---> the frequency decreases instead of increasing


NB but it was not possible to use the up and down arrows for more than 2 seconds for start scan ,thus leave free orange key :?: ?
