Option for limiting TA text length, critical for Motorola radios #314

Closed yl3im closed 3 years ago

yl3im commented 3 years ago

Motorola radios have issues with displaying TA text longer than 13 characters. If the text contains non alphanumeric symbols like commas, the radio may misbehave: freezing, rebooting, showing various artifacts on display. The issue is common up to the latest M2020.02 firmware.

Please introduce the option to limit TA text to 13 chars and/or sanitize its contents. I am aware now there already is EmbeddedLCOnly option which turns extended data completely off, but it would be nice to have a better solution with partial displaying of TA data.

Thank you!
