Post by newtomotorola »

If anybody is interested in increasing the talkgroup scan list from 10 to 15 talkgroups edit patport.exe offset 00903271 and change from 0A to 0F

How about older versions like CPS 14, do you have a list of several of the HEX values before and after the 0A ?

I'm wondering if I could find the same HEX value in version 14 and try it ?

I don't have any need to upgrade above Vs 14 now, hence the need for some more search info.

I also have not upgraded past 14 and I checked, it does not have the same offset number. It might be in a different place, but who knows where.

I don't know if this is a strange result or not, but my Priority Monitor list now goes to 15 but if it is just Talkgroup scan it is still at 10 members.....?

So does anyone have some of the hex values before and after the 0A so others can search in older versions of CPS ?

I figure 4 hex values before and 4 after the correct 0A address will help in locating the correct address in older versions should do it.

Would be interesting to find a way increasing the number of conventional channels in a scan list. 15 are not very much :) How did you find the location in the file?

you can max it out, its a pain as you have to move other things to allow.

for fun change 0A or 0F to 7F. no mod require. You will then start to understand

Anyone have any suggestions? Having Priority Monitor bumped to 15 is nice but I would like to get the Talkgroup to 15 as well...
