TOT Timer

Hello,

this my first post here. Callsign == Nick:)
Thanks for this helpful tool. I am using currently from 20210701.1
I thin I found an OffByOne or Index Issue in "Radio Settings" -> "Timeout Timer".
When I set the TOT to 000 (means off) via the Parameters menu on the device, it is displayed as empty string. If set it to OFF and upload this back to the radio the TOT setting is then 10sec.

Did I found a minor glitch or Is this an layer8 issue ?

best regards 73 Joerg

Hi,

Yeah I knew about this, just forgot to implement a check if it was OFF.
It is based on an index where 0 is OFF and as the TOT starts at 20sec it means that index 1 isn't used and then index 2 is 20sec, 3 is 30sec etc.

So in the editor the combobox index needs to be incremented by 1 to match what the radio wants but as I haven't created a check for OFF it means it's still being incremented by 1.
Meaning that when it's set to OFF (index 0) it's being written to the radio as index 1, which isn't technically supported by the CPS although the radio does show 10 seconds.

I'll fix it for the next version, which unless there is a need for an update won't be until I have done the updates to add/edit/remove channels and zones etc :)
