2010 - Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all Blog followers !

And now an update.

I have a rare TX bug which appears after a local repeat - I think it is a timing issue between ending the transmission and sending the G2 status information. At the moment, I wait for the TX buffer to show that it's empty (0xFF) before I send any more commands to the Node Adapter. I then wait 500ms before setting the D-Star headers and PTT on to send the "RPT ?" or similar out.

But, sometime, the Node Adapter crashes after the TX buffer - my suspicion is that in those instances, 500ms isn't enough delay, because there are still packets in the send buffer of the Node Adapter. So rather than look for an empty buffer, I've modified the code to look for PTT OFF - i.e. all frames and the tail have been sent.

Let's see where this goes....
