add Lat Long and set Date/time automatically

[IK8JHL]

I was wondering if it was possible to add Latitude and Longitude in the CPS, so that they can be written automatically when we write the Keplerian data, and also automatically set the date and time taking it from the PC

Date and time is already taken from the PC.

The PC (Windows) does not know its location, so it can't automatically be sent to the radio.

Yes for the date/time you're right ... strangely it didn't work for me and I didn't remember that it was already like that. For coordinate I intended to insert a field in the CPS where we can write our Lat and Long so as not to have to re-enter it manually after a Reset

Its not practical to write settings values which are stored in non-volatile memory, because the location of the settings in memory could change in different versions of the firmware.

The settings in the radio do not normally get reset very often. I think the last time the settings needed to be reset because of changes to the firmware was more than 3 months ago.

It only takes me 15 seconds to enter my location into the radio, so I really don't think its a big problem, worthy of changes to the firmware and the CPS etc

Actually when I updated the FW the radio reset itself, and I noticed this thing ... so I thought it would be nice to be able to update Lat and Long as well when sending the Keplerian data. Of course, it's not a big deal to re-enter Lat and Long. Thanks for the reply

Normally firmware updates should not reset the settings
