New public Beta
This version has another change which may prevent the "Settings Update" problem that a few people have encountered.

Thanks to Daniel for his continued work to find this bug.

i have noticed with this update at the end of uploading the voice prompts and satellite data, the screen stays at uploading and does not change

Umm
Disabling the WDT prevents the reboot after Voice Prompts.
The radio is not rebooted after satellite data is uploaded.
I just tested both of these, and satellite data upload works fine for me and the CPS screen is removed after the upload is complete.
However with WDT disabled, after Voice Prompts are uploaded, the radio does not automatically reboot like it normally does
I you have not had the "Settings Update" bug, then turn WDT back on again, and everthing should work as normal.
The option to disable the WDT was added to help us debug the Settings Update bug, but I forgot that disabling the WDT had the side effect of preventing all reboots.

I'm already answering. I mean loss of data packets (visible on PiStar-Loss dashboard)
The "Loss" value is visible after transmitting from my side (after releasing PTT) after about 80 -100 (s) of conversation (transmitting)
BTW, how could you get "Packet Loss" as this information is NOT available on Pi-Star when you're monitoring YOUR transmission ?
The only possible way to have this kind of information is from someone that listen to you. And packet loss is a network thing, which involves your internet quality, it has nothing to do with the radio side.
Code: Select all
M: 2021-12-05 10:29:25.991 DMR Slot 2, received RF end of voice transmission from F1RMB to 9990, 12.6 seconds, BER: 0.2%, RSSI: -51/-47/-47 dBm

that sorted it, thank you very much

Daniel. I mean this parameter, but today it is OK. I guess I'm oversensitive.

Here, you will always get 0% loss, as this information is not available in the MMDVMHost log when receiving RF.
Here is what you get receiving data from the network:
M: 2021-12-05 18:40:32.228 DMR Slot 1, received network end of voice transmission from XXXXXX to TG 91, 7.7 seconds, 0% packet loss, BER: 0.0%
here is what you get receiving from RF:
M: 2021-12-05 18:40:43.555 DMR Slot 2, received RF end of voice transmission from F1RMB to TG 9990, 9.0 seconds, BER: 0.3%, RSSI: -58/-53/-57 dBm
Pi-Star is constantly parsing the MMDVMHost log file, extracting data from it.
In the RF case, there is
no Loss information:
excerpt of php function getHeardList() in mmdvmhost/functions.php file, which is used to parse the MMDVMHost logfile
Code: Select all
// if RF-Packet, no LOSS would be reported, so BER is in LOSS position
if (startsWith($loss,"BER")) {
$ber = substr($loss, 5);
$loss = "0%";
if (array_key_exists(4,$lineTokens) && startsWith($lineTokens[4],"RSSI")) {
$rssi = substr($lineTokens[4], 6);
$dBraw = substr($rssi, strrpos($rssi,'/')+1); //average only
$relint = intval($dBraw) + 93;
$signal = round(($relint/6)+9, 0);
if ($signal < 0) $signal = 0;
if ($signal > 9) $signal = 9;
if ($relint > 0) {
$rssi = "S{$signal}+{$relint}dB ({$dBraw})";
} else {
$rssi = "S{$signal} ({$dBraw})";
}
}
} else {
Hence, I can't see how you can tell us that you saw some packet loss on your own transmission.
Cheers.

Hello Daniel.
I see. Now, today is OK.
I am at home, I had no problems like other colleagues (restarting the radio or freezing)
Daniel, thank you for the explanation, best regards.

Okay, cool.
Have you experienced this "Settings Update" reboot bug before the today's beta ?
Cheers.
