Zones not showing on the radio

Post by DalexB2 »

I have 13 zones created in the software. When I write the codeplug to the radio only 5 zones appear. I have changed the order of the zones to try to see if one of the zones is causing an error but it doesnt change the number of zones that show on the radio. I have gone over all the zones to see if I could find any programming errors, but I cant find anything. I can make changes to the zones that show up and it transfers to the radio. I read several listings of people having the same problem. In one you said to DM or Email a copy of my codeplug. I'm happy to do that but I cant get the file into the DM area and I cant find an email address. If you can provide that info I'll send my code plug right over. thanks!

I see that the issue is that the ID's for each zone / channel are not unique.. duplicates exist.. which means the radio won't read past a certain point, from where the first duplicate is found..

As I had changed the underlying logic to ignore ID's and use names instead, the IDs were being allowed to exist more than once.
Also when re-ordering zones or channels, the ID's were no longer in chronological order, which again the radio refuses to read.

Using your JSON as an example.. opened in a text editor.. if you look at the Zone ID's.. they are;
1,2,3,4,5,12,12,7,9,16,13,15

After the 5th zone there is a duplicate.. and then in a random order with missing numbers in the sequence.. Hence why only the first 5 zones would appear on the radio.

-----

I have updated the code to re-generate the ID's for each zone and all channels within each zone when saving a codeplug or writing to the radio.
This means that all ID's are unique and chronological :)

I have a few other bug-fixes in progress so an update will be sent out soon.

Thank you for your quick response. Thanks for the awesome option for programming. Do you have a timeline when you think the update might be put out? Thanks again!

Should be available over the next few days, once I have some time to check things over and compile the new versions :)
