does not work ENABLE_TX_WHEN_AM := 0 allow TX (always FM) when RX is set to AM

[lohtse]

So as the title says

ENABLE_TX_WHEN_AM := 0 allow TX (always FM) when RX is set to AM

Does not work properly

It will work until you recieve and AM TX after that it will continue to say TX disabled no matter what FRQ you are using. only way to resolve in most cases is to reboot radio. Sometimes it will work after around a 30sec or so if NO AM has been recieved.

if it's set to '0', then it should always say TX DISABLED if you try and transmit on a channel/freq that is set to AM mode ?

TX on an FM band.. will work if no AM trans or no AM trans for quite some time.. BUt if there has been an AM tran it will either take 20-30s before I can TX or will not let me till I reboot radio... Noticed it the other day but forgot to mention. To day was using K5 and was listeninig on AM and FM but could not trans on FM band when I needed

[OneOfEleven]

oh right, it wasn't letting you TX on an FM chan/freq .. okey doke

It used to work.. so it is a recent thing(I think lol)

[OneOfEleven]

I did recently edit that bit of code, I'll go look in a bit, doing too many things at once at the mo

LOL thats what happens when you have possible the best FW for the K5/6 range lol

Whilst it is import, Just take your time buddy.. I can work with it for now...

I think I've fixed it, let me know if not

stows as TXing but nothing is actually happening.. And now actually notice that I am not recieving FM trans from other radios... Must be due to AM

[OneOfEleven]

I don't suppose you can do a quick video ?

just flashing stock.27

[lohtse]

confirmed the issue is still on .27 I suspect it possibly due to switching modulation from FM to AM and back.. so possible not fixable

Think I noticed a mistake in 1o11's lower squelch-1 code. The close RSSI is bigger than the open when it's not airband. Changing it to be smaller makes my radio closer to what my stock 5R picks up.

I'm glad I have a supermarket warehouse nearby to test it out. Spent way too much time trying to make it better.

[OneOfEleven]

The NOISE and GLITCH squelch setting are the inverse of the RSSI squelch.
so ..
Lower RSSI value = more sensitive squelch.
Higher NOISE value = more sensitive squelch.
Higher GLITCH value = more sensitive squelch.

Not sure if I'm missing something but I can't reproduce this on latest git build.

set chan 1 to AM band

now set chan to to any FM (You can switch the chans it makes no dfference)

Make sure your TX chan is the Fm one

Now trans

Now try trans during or just after an AM RX

it will fail and it will either continue to fail(warning text states TX disabled) or after a 10-20 seconds you can TX again providing you had not RX any further AM band

I fond this happened on even Stock so I would guess it ia a limitation due to the fact it does not have a true AM chip

Is Dual-RX (Dual Watch, TDR) enabled, and if it is, which is set to the main one (solid black little triangle marker) ?

For me with or withot dual watch it happens. the main channel wil always be FM for trans(Black triangle) I never trans on AM band... I have a proper HT for that

[OneOfEleven]

The radio does as you say if dual-watch is enable, when it stops/pauses on the AM channel/VFO thats when the TX is disabled when you try to transmit.

If I disable dual-watch, the 'problem' vanishes because you will always transmit on the FM channel.

I'll have to see how the original QS firmware operates.

Actually stated it is the same (see above)

[OneOfEleven]

I can't reproduce this when dual-watch is disable :(

[lohtse]

I can't reproduce this when dual-watch is disable :(

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm odd but ok..

Actually not odd really as DW watch is listen to two channels where as no DW means you are only listenning on highlighted channel... BUt If I flick back to the AM channel it does happen fromtime to time... But on DW it always happens regardless .

[OneOfEleven]

Try it now, just uploaded

[lohtse]

Try it now, just uploaded

Given the AM issues on current FW's for me I am now using older comps, So even though there is the issue (but not a major one) I don't use newer builds....

[OneOfEleven]

okey doke

[bricky149]

I don't use DW, might be why I couldn't reproduce. Will try after the compile errors are fixed.

[OneOfEleven]

There is still a slight problem with TX'ing when dual-watch is enabled. I'll find the bug, just trying to chill today, so being lazy :)
