What does "DMR Data" on my dashboard mean?

Post by K4ED »

Of late, I occasionally see the Dur(s), Loss and BER columns on the dashboard combined into a single column with the words "DMR Data" centered in the merged column. What does this mean or indicate?

See attachment for screen shot.

It means something was received that wasn't a voice call, eventually Andy is going to change this to indicate what type of data it is.

Previously it used to say something else like SMS which was inaccurate.

In case of SMS or any other readable data — is it possible to implement displaying its contents in the dashboard?

Thanks.

Its un-likly to say what the data is, since MMDVMHost doesn't know - the dashboard used to assume (as you say above) that everything was SMS, and that really isn't true.

So, "data" might be SMS, it might be APRS, all I know is that it was data blocks and not voice.
