Anytone D878: Every code-plug read appends to autoRepeaterSettings/offsets in the config.

[toco]

With each download for the code-plug from my Anytone AT-D878UVII Plus it appends the same offsets to the autoRepeaterSettings. Reproduced with qdmr at a335412 and Anytone firmware 3.02n (this also happened with 3.01 already).

    autoRepeaterSettings:
      directionA: Off
      directionB: Off

Can confirm: [...]

        - id: off431
          name: ""
          offset: 600 kHz
        - id: off432
          name: ""
          offset: 7600 kHz

Cannot reproduce it here with a D878UV on 3.02n. However, there might be subtle differences between these firmwares. Could one attach a binary codeplug here, so I reproduce it? Read it from the device using

dmrconf read d878uv2_codeplug.dfu

The filename does not matter, just the file extension.

[toco]

Here you go: d878uv2_codeplug.dfu.zip

Ok, thanks. I know exactly what happens here, but I don't know why yet. So this only happens when one writes the config to the radio. That is, simply reencoding from a YAML codeplug does not trigger it. I.e.,

dmrconf decode --radio=d878uv2 codeplug.dfu codeplug.yaml
dmrconf encode --radio=d878uv2 codeplug.yaml codeplug.dfu
dmrconf decode --radio=d878uv2 codeplug.dfu codeplug.yaml

is fine. At some point in the decoding, the offsets are added once again.

Ok, was a trivial mistake. Should be fixed in 'fix-anytone-repeater-offsets'.

[allesand]

@toco Looking good here. Can you confirm? I was already wondering about the ever growing yaml file - not anymore :-)

[hmatuschek]

In fact, this was an issue affecting all AnyTone devices but only happened in the GUI. The GUI uses a single Config instance throughout the entire runtime. When you open a new codeplug or read one from a device, this instance gets reset. This reset, however, never reached the AnyTone setting extension and consequently, the repeater offset frequency list was never cleared.

Verified on 9bde48b, the list no longer grows longer with every download. I had to upload a fixed code-plug to my device to get rid of some older duplicates, but once I did that the list stayed reliably at two entries.

Concerning the first point: You can only define 7 additional FM APRS frequencies in the extension. The first frequency is set by the FM APRS system. That is, within the config:

channels:
  - fm:
    id: aprsChannel
    # ...
    txFrequency: 144.800 MHz   # <- teaser for 0.12.0
    # ...
# ...
positioning:
  - aprs:
    # ...
    revert: aprsChannel  # defines the first APRS frequency implicitly via aprsChannel
    anytone:
     # ...
     frequencies:
       - 144.390 MHz # alternative (second) APRS frequency

BTW, I believe, you wanted to comment on issue #349. This one here is fixed already.
