CPS modifications

Post by VK3KYY » Thu Oct 15, 2020 5:19 am

I've made some modifications to the CPS because there is a lot of confusion about the "Digital Contact" on the Channel screen and also the Download Contacts screen

1. I've decided to remove the Download Contacts screen, because it was a legacy screen used to support the official firmware, which could not display callsigns with names using their DMR ID system
I know some people suggested that some sort of warning should be shown rather than removing the screen, but this wasn't practical, and no one has been able to show be a use-case for when anyone would want to populate the Digital Contacts with hundreds of Private Calls.

2. I've changed the Channel screen, so that it sets the Digital Contact to "N/A" if the TG List is set to anything except "None".
Because with the firmware, if a TG List is assigned to a channel, it will be used instead of the "Digital Contact"

You can still change the Digital Contact to another value after the screen loads, but every time you goto that channel again, it will get changed back to "N/A" unless you set the TG List to "None"

3. I've renamed the "DMR ID" menu to "Download callsign database", because this is probably easier to understand

Thanks

I have tested it myself, but its better if a lot of different people can test it.

I even clicked thought all 190 of my Channels, so that they all got changed, and AFIK its all still working ;-)

Hi Roger,

Installed and tested some functions - no problems.

I will post a updated translation (german.xml) later.
