Dan Hi

Any idea why the long press button do not work?

I have set for example "BTN_LONG_OPT3_NOFN=CMD_SET_ATU_TUNE=[Tuning...]" but long pressing BTN3 does not do anything g.

Also do you have any plans for fixing the reading for S meter for Icom with variable length bytes feedback?

I have also tried to read frequency but no success.

I have set:

POLLING=CMD_READ_SMETER,CMD_READ_FREQ

CMD_READ_FREQ=01,01,FE,FE,<A>,E0,03,FD,<R>,10,<D0>,<D1>,<D2>,<D3>,<D4>,<D5>,<D6>,<D7>,<D8>, <D9>

which is supposed to be the correct format for Icom but no success.

any suggestions?

one more issue that I have found is that if I rotate the phone and the screen then the Function buttons stop working and if you try to press them there is an error.

I have attached a screenshot of the error.

I've checked now and you're right. Long press does not work as expected in version 0.9.0-16. I will fix this later in the evening.

I have this in plan, but I want first to stabilize the version 0.9.0-x in order to be able to push it in Play Store.
Adding variable length feedback require some core engine changes, but keeping backward compatibility. I don't want to make the changes on a version which is not yet very stable.

This is not the right format.
According with the info here:
http://www.plicht.de/ekki/civ/civ-p41.html

$03 Read operating frequency
CI-V frame for command $03
$FE $FE ra $E0 $03 $FD

Purpose: Read the current (displayed) operating frequency.
Read/Write: Read only
Remarks: This command is understood by practically all Icom radios. For more info about the frequency format see section 3.2.
Reply:
CI-V response to $03: here 14313 kHz
$FE $FE $EO ra $03 $00 $30 $31 $14 $00 $FD

Frequency response is in BCD format, so 2 digits for each byte and the expected answer has 11 bytes.
9 - 1GHz
8 - 100MHz
7 - 10MHz
6 - 1MHz
5 - 100KHz
4 - 10KHz
3 - 1KHz
2 - 100Hz
1 - 10Hz
0 - 1Hz
The correct command format is:
CMD_READ_FREQ=01,01,FE,FE,<A>,E0,03,FD,<R>,11,<00>,<00>,<00>,<00>,<00>,<D10>,<D32>,<D54>,<D76>,<D98>,<00>

Some comments:
- <D76> mean the 10MHz and 1MHz digits packet in a single byte
- <00> mean that byte is not relevant

Hope this help.

Hi Thanasis,

The picture is no more available, but I have tried again now and does not happen with my smartphone. Please tell me the exact steps from the app start to reproduce this error.

Dan Hi

I start the prxtx normally and if I turn my Samsung s5 to its side the display rotates to landscape. THEN I have noticed that pressing any of the option buttons produces an error in java with a line number and opt btn click.

Unfortunately I cannot upload pictures or video here. Do not know why.

You can use attachments to your posts.
See the tab below, in the right side of "Options" tab.
Upload the file (image or video).

It would be great to send me the exact error you get when pressing one of the option buttons.

Thank you.

Hi Thanasis.

I was able to reproduce your issue and just found a bug when connected to the radio and changing orientation.

Please download version 0.9.0-17 from here:
https://www.yo3ggx.ro/pocketrxtx/experi ... 9.0-17.apk

and post your feedback here if tested.

P.S. It seems to be an issue with the board and the attachments. Mine disappeared too. I will check in the following days.
