DMR ID instead of Talker Alias in display

Post by SA0BUX » Fri Jan 13, 2023 10:06 am

Is there a way to display DMR ID instead of Talker Alias ?
Or have both ?

I have problems with stations that have put in some other string in their config than their callsign.

I have tried that but it will still display TA as there is no hit in either Db or Ct.

In theory I could add them to the CPS Contact or ID database in the radio but then I need their DMR ID's which I can't see.

Why do you want to display the ID, rather than the callsign etc

When a stations transmit TA strings with incorrect data and they are not in the Db.

On other radios you can usually disable TA Rx or it will display both ID and TA data (Radio Name).

People can enter any DMR ID into their radio, the whole system exists on trust.

So even if the firmware displayed the DMR ID it could be any number

Apart from you wanting to see the numerical value , I see no use case for this
