Simpleusb-tune-menu COS Output Logic #329

Open tsawyer opened 1 month ago

tsawyer commented 1 month ago

From the simple-tune-menu when both COR Input and CTCSS Input are set to Off COS Output is Keyed. If an input is off it should have no role determining COS Output which should be Clear by default. A USB device must be connected to duplicate this issue. Both a URI and a RA42M exhibit this behavior.

The COS Output is derived from an internal variable maintained by the channel driver. Apparently, this issue existed before these changes (I did not update the 'rxkeyed' variable').

Is there a case where we turn off COS input and CTCSS input? (No one could ever key the repeater.)

Both off is a good test to see if the logic is correct. It's showing that inputs are not ignored when off. In any case, I wouldn't think both off should set COS Output keyed.

There is a real-world need to have the cos off and ctcss active. It shows the sensitivity and coast of ctcss.

This on the "Stable" release indicating that it not need be fixed for the first beta.

... (No one could ever key the repeater.)

More concerning is the node is always keyed.

Unfortunately this was how the driver was coded. The author never expected that both would be disabled. This should be easy to fix

Ok, please fix. No hurry on this.
