TG list indexing issue?

Post by IW1FWO » Sat Apr 09, 2022 2:26 pm

Hi,I'm running OpenGD 27-02-2022 on a Baofeng 1801,
I have two adjacent DMR channels in the same zone (say Ch_A and Ch_B ), sharing the same TG list..
If I change TG using left/right arrows on Ch_A, this affects also Ch_B.

I thought the problem was related with the channels sharing the same list,so I created two different TG lists,one for each channel,
so the situation is now like in this example:

Ch_A,TGlistA: 1-Worldwide, 2-USA, 3-Europe, 4-Parrot
Ch_B,TGlistB: 1-USA, 2-Europe, 3-Italy, 4-TAC1

Selecting i.e. TG nr. 2-USA on Ch_A, causes Ch_B to switch to TG nr. 2-Europe,and so on...
it seems impossible to change TG on one channel without altering the other,it's like if different channels are sharing the same "TG list pointer" variable.

Hope this could help to improve this already great firmware,
thank you, 73,
Marco

What you describe is how the firmware is designed to work. There is currently only one pointer for Talkgroup selection.

Ok,sorry,it's not a bug :oops: I'm used to think that each channel keeps its own settings (keeps the last tg used on that channel),
I had the impression that I have already had this "problem", but I could not find/remember what it was,if a bug or whatever ...

After your advice I found it, it was already discussed here:
Changing channels with different Rx group lists

Sorry for the duplicate,
thank you,
Marco
