Dist. Sort

[VK3KYY]

While I am more than happy with the Distance sorting method I have odopted, I would be more than happy to carry out further experiments on the
MD-9600/Revetis RT90.
My Radio is the Revetis RT90 Version 2. Which I added a GPS module.

I've come across a few problems with this functionality which is taking a while to iron out.

Hopefully I'll have fixed the problems tomorrow.

Happy to report that the Experimental firmware works. For my commute this morning, it is working great. I will observe more as I drive around and will report back.

Update: I’ve driven around like crazy today, and the experimental firmware works very well.

Thanks.
I'm glad it's working for you

There are a lot of things which I need to improve with it.

1. Channel reloads unnecessarily , when the same channel is still the closest
2. Distance should update when the radio position changes by more than 100m
3. Distance is currently only displayed when Sorting is enabled. ie the Display options setting seems to be ignored


So I think I may end up rewriting it; retaining the things which work

1. Channel reloads unnecessarily , when the same channel is still the closest

On this one, I don't think it is UNNECESSARILY. Maybe the second or third one have changed position in the sorted list. I think it is great to always have a correct sorting order.


BTW, can I uploaded the modified codeplug to another radio running latest stable firmware?

Yes. The only difference is the new checkbox for "Location is valid" and this will be ignored by the 'Stable' version

It will always sort the list when your location is greater than 5km etc from when it last sorted the list, so the second and third etc could change position in the list.

But it shouldn't reload the current channel if its not changed, but it does this in the last version I sent you

If you select any of the distance based roaming options, i.e 5km, 10km etc, then it will automatically keep selecting the closest repeater when it resorts.

i.e if you manualy change to the second channel; when it next sorts it will change back to the first channel in the lisy because its closer.

I had a think about whether in either manual or automatic / distance sorting, it should go back to the first channel, but I think this is probably the best options in both manual or auto / distance modes, as currently there is no indication of which position in the list is currently selected.

I've uploaded my latest experimental roaming firmware for the MD9600 to here

https://opengd77.com/downloads/MD9600/F ... al/Roaming

Note. You need to use the latest CPS

downloads/PC_CPS/Latest/OpenGD77CPSInst ... .23.01.exe

And you need to go to each channel which has Lat/Lon and tick the new checkbox "Location is valid" to confirm that the value is to be used.

i.e The "Use location" checkbox now means Use when sorting / roaming....

I'll probably need to rename things, after this is all working corectly

Thank you so much, Roger. Great work!!!
