GTX Service Frequencies - Changing them

Post by Jonathan KC8RYW »

Stock GTX.EXE puts the service frequencies in the 900 SMR band, not where the 33cm repeater split action is.

Need a fix for changing the internal programming points in service mode for putting it right in 33cm 25 mhz split bands?

I think I've figured out where it puts those points in GTX.EXE.

Get out Hex Workshop. Use the base converter. All values are Intel double(64)

00041C45: 00 00 00 00 00 34 8D 40 = 934.5000000000
00041C4D: 00 00 00 00 00 3C 8D 40 = 935.5000000000

00041C75: 00 00 00 00 00 64 8D 40 = 940.5000000000
00041C7D: 00 00 00 00 00 6C 8D 40 = 941.5000000000

00041CA5: 00 00 00 00 00 1C 8C 40 = 899.5000000000
00041CAD: 00 00 00 00 00 24 8C 40 = 900.5000000000
00041CB5: 00 00 00 00 00 2C 8C 40 = 901.5000000000
00041CBD: 00 00 00 00 00 34 8C 40 = 902.5000000000

00041CF5: 00 00 00 00 00 64 8D 40 = 940.5000000000
00041CFD: 00 00 00 00 00 6C 8D 40 = 941.5000000000

They could probably all be changed to a few hundred KHz away from each other, to get the response in tuning as flat as possible across the entire 1 MHz repeater split.

No correcting the checksum is needed on GTX.EXE

That should make tuning a lot more effective.
