Are settings saved by the CPS

Post by dkerl » Sun Jun 07, 2020 8:11 pm

Hello everyone, I am very satisfied with the latest firmware. Totally clear, many additional functions.
Question: is that the settings on the device are not permanently saved in the code plug?

I've moved this post to the General discussion topic, because the NA7Q version is 99.99% the same as the official version and AFIK does not implement a method to save the settings to the CPS

Which custom features in the NA7Q version do you use ?

Thank you for your prompt reply,
It's the functions in channel details.
eg Vox, CSS, if I only change the channel the storage is gone.
Sas may be so wanted by you that it is only temporarily stored I don't know.
how is the programming intended, should the code plug not be overwritten?

AFIK. There are no differences between the Channel Details in NA7Q's version than the master copy.

I think your problem is probably you are not saving the details back to the codeplug.

See the manual

Accepting and saving the changes to the channel
Pressing the Green menu key confirms the changes.

"Pressing Function + Green saves the settings to the codeplug", or in the case of the VFO the changes are saved to the non-volatile settings.
Pressing the Red menu key closes the menu without making any changes to the channel.



If I do as it is written in the instructions and then press the channel up or down,
the previously saved change is no longer there. !?

OK.

I'll test in case something is broken

Works OK for me

Which setting did you think was not being saved

So again,
I go to Channel Details in the menu, e.g. select Vox, set it to on.
then the green button to save, ok he took over.
if I then choose a different channel, then go back to the channel where I have selected Vox, the Vox is deactivated again, so it is no longer saved.


If I save the data in the CPS, it is retained.
if I make the change on the device, the storage is not retained.

I hope it was so understandable.
