Hi Dennis,
Good to see your still out and about too.
DPL...I just dont recallany details on how to derive it outside of RSS. Nothing near me used DPL so I didnt have any reason to expend gray matter proccessing power to it.
I havent looked at your syntorxgen source code. Do you derive the hex values from a formula or use a lookup table? I remember some SyntorX codeplug layout data on a site..Xbits something? that's gone now. I thinks Mike B. replicated the info on his site.
I think maybe the DPL formula was in that info? I do know the CTCSS hex values are derived via formula.
Copyright statement? Hmmm..dont recall seeing it but I would have just glazed over it like the same as editing a Maxtrac MDF file...lol? As for executable code....sounds like a Scary Moto Urban Legend....lol. There is a checksum though and the RSS will bitch and puke and refuse to write if it's wrong.
There are a number of codeplug/FW/RSS version incompatabilities that must be kept in mind too.
Skip,
?It has a 2816 (2k) or 2864 (8k) mapped into the Hitachi uC's address & data busses.
In this respect the codeplug is a binary file written to the EEprom thru the Hitiachi uC via SB 9600.
