Subject: New Paradigm and UIDGCGF.exe fault

The New-N Paradigm for the UIDIGI ROM requires UITRF=2 and UIFLD=4, 
however if you set these values in the configuration file the 
UIDGCFG.exe configuration program improperly sets both values at 4.

The temporary solution to this problem is:

Set them both as 2 in the configuration file

1) Patch the code using instructions in my write up on the New-N for 
UIDIGI at http://dxspots.com/FIX14439_UIDIGI-ROM.html. Do a <ctrl>R to 
refresh your browser so you have the latest version.

2) As sysop change UIFLD to 4.

Choice 1) is prefered as after a system reset the values stored in the 
eprom will be chosen, and if you have patched the object correctly the 
restore will be proper.

Should UIFLD get set to 2 in error it's not too bad as the UIFloodCall 
will rarely be used anyway.

Ron, N5IN

I still do not see where you came up with these parameters.
UIFLDFL [n]             UIFLOODOptions          n = 0 - 3               0
Hi Bit Sets ID=ON, Lo Bit Enables Callsign Substitution After Last  
WIDEn-N Digied

Where do you come up with 4 as a valid parameter for UIFLDFL? It looks  
like it could only be 0 , 1 , 2 or 3. Or is this a binary 11?

UITRFL [n]              UITraceOptions          n = 0,1         0
Enables(1) or Disables(0) Callsign Substitution After Last TRACEn-N  
Digipeated      
Where do you come up with 2 as a valid parameter for UITRFL? It looks  
like it could only be 0 or 1.

Mixing Binary and decimal in the parameters seems like a bad idea to me.

Bruce

You need to read the release notes provided with UIDIGI. These parms are 
explained in there and not in the regular UIDIGI documentation 
unfortunately. The file is CHANGES.TXT which comes with UIDIGI 1.9Beta3.

The documentation for UIDIGI needs to be updated, perhaps this can be 
done, but for now it's more critical that the code itself is updated to 
fully support New-N Paradigm rather than the partial solution which is 
all we can do for now. With new code the doc's will all need revision.

Bruce,

Look in CHANGES.TXT, under version 1.8b6 to find the answer.  Marco 
apparently never updated the parms in his spreadsheet nor in the  
config file.

Thanks Ron. I kept looking in a couple of places and did not see that  
what you were advising made sense. Thanks for the pointer.
