Hi guys.
First, I congratulate the developers for the excellent work they are carrying out, what they can get is truly incredible, my most heartfelt thanks and respect to Roger, Daniel, Colin and all the people involved in the project: thank you so much!
Second, here are the updated
italian.h and
wordlist_italian.csv files for the current GD77 Beta - 2023 02 27:
italian.h+wordlist_italian.cvs_GD77 Beta - 2023 02 27.zip
I hope I have not exceeded the space available for the text of the messages.
If possible, I would like clarification about the entry:
.transmitTalkerAliasTS2 = "TA Tx TS2", // Maxlen 16 (with : + .ta_text, 'APRS' , .both or .off)
because honestly I have not understood well what it is exactly, sorry.
Thanks again to everyone!

TA Tx is when the radio transmits extra data in the voice data stream. (Talker Alias data)
Previously we just had one setting for TA Tx, which defaults to Off. Then this was set to On, the radio would transmit the text from the boot screen e.g. the operators callsign and name, in the Talker Alias data
But when support was added for GPS, people asked for the ability to send position data from the GPS, know as Automatic Position Reporting System (APRS)
This APRS data is also sent in the Talker Alias
Both the callsign + name text and the APRS can be sent at the same time in the Talker Alias data bytes, because the specification for Talker Alias separates the data so that the position information (APRS) is sent at the end of the TA data bytes
However, some networks e.g. Brandmeister already insert text of the operator's callsign into the TA data, so it is only necessary to send the APRS data
And also some networks do not allow TA at all e.g. Motorola networks do not normally support TA text or TA APRS, so it must be disabled
And often repeaters connect to multiple networks on different TS.
e.g. Brandmeister on TS1 and DMR MARC on TS2
So the control of the TA transmission had to be moved to the Channel data, so that the operator could then choose which data to send in which TS.
Hence the system is now complex but flexible.
Does this answer your question ?
