TRUNK88 4.63 Notes ------------------ As with any TRUNK88 update, you should make backup copies of all of your .CTL files before installing this version. You do not need to (nor should you) replace your TRUNK88.CTL file with the copy contained in this zip archive; it is included for new installs only and is merely a copy of the author's personal TRUNK88.CTL file. Hotkeys Summary (some hotkeys are not listed in TRUNK88's help summary): Note: Some of these hotkeys write data to the background activity display area; The more lines you can allocate to the BGA display, the better. Ctrl-A: Affiliation Summary If you are displaying or editing a talkgroup or patch record with the Edit Talkgroup command, this hotkey will write a list of radio ID's that are (apparently) currently affiliated to the selected talkgroup or patch to the onscreen background activity display area and to the log file (if enabled). The displayed list is based on affiliations and group calls made by subscriber units and consoles. A '+' preceding a radio name indicates that the radio was seen affiliating to the selected talkgroup or patch. The '+' characters generally indicate which radio(s) have dragged a talkgroup or patch to the currently monitored SmartZone site. If you are displaying or editing a radio record with the Edit Radio command, this hotkey will write an affiliation/PTT history summary for the selected RID to the onscreen background activity display area and to the log file (if enabled). The summary lists all talkgroups that the selected RID has affiliated to or keyed up on. A PTT Count of zero indicates that the RID was only seen affiliating to a particular group. The summary also includes the radio's current affiliation (if known). Ctrl-H: Context-Sensitive Help Where enabled, this hotkey writes a context-sensitive help summary to the onscreen background activity display area. Context-sensitive help is currently enabled for selected entries in the Edit Defaults and Edit Settings commands. Ctrl-N: Neighbour List This hotkey writes a list of the current site's SmartZone or OmniLink neighbours to the onscreen background activity display area and to the log file (if enabled). Ctrl-P: Patch Summary This hotkey writes a list of currently active patches and multiselects to the onscreen background activity display area and to the log file (if enabled). Supergroups are tagged with a '+' next to the talkgroup name. Ctrl-Q: Quiet Mode This hotkey toggles Quiet Mode; when enabled, this mode suppresses all audible alerts except keyboard entry error tones. Quiet Mode is automatically cancelled if the current site goes in to site trunking. Ctrl-R: Redraw Screen Changes made to various display elements (custom colors, background areas, field tags, display fields, etc.) generally don't take effect until a system control file is reloaded (via the Update command) or a screen redraw is requested (Ctrl-R). Ctrl-S: Statistics Summary This hotkey writes the summary that the "more Numbers" command generates to the onscreen background activity display area and to the log file (if enabled). Ctrl-F2: Autodetect This hotkey retriggers TRUNK88's data slicer pin/polarity autodetect logic (or if a sound card is being used, the source/polarity autodetect logic). System .CTL file format for SmartZone systems: RF channel records are listed in their respective Zone blocks, rather than in the single channels group that non-SmartZone system files use. Zone blocks hold all zone-specific data: - user-defined zone name - system-defined zone alias (six characters max) - connect tone used by zone - zone's neighbour list (up to seven neighbours) - zone's RF channels (repeater outputs) Zone blocks and all zone data (except the user-defined zone name) are automatically generated by TRUNK88 while monitoring SmartZone sites. Zone blocks are located in system control files immediately before talkgroup records. Currently, you must manually edit system files to add or modify zone names. Zone names are created by adding a Name = "zone name" line to a zone block. The zone name should be placed ahead of other zone data as shown in the following samples: ;;[Zone 25] Name = "Peterborough" Alias = "PETERB" Connect Tone = 83.72 Neighbour = 20 CAMPBL Campbellford Neighbour = 21 APSLEY Apsley Neighbour = 22 COBORG Cobourg Neighbour = 27 FENLON Fenelon Falls 406, 0, 141.4050, 0, 0, 0, 7 457, 0, 142.1700, 0, 0, 0, 8 469, 0, 142.3500, 0, 0, 1, 0 473, 0, 142.4100, 0, 0, 0, 8 492, 0, 142.6950, 0, 0, 0, 8 499, 0, 142.8000, 0, 0, 1, 0 513, 0, 143.0100, 0, 0, 0, 3 517, 0, 143.0700, 0, 0, 0, 5 ;;[Zone 26] Name = "Haliburton" Alias = "HALIBU" Connect Tone = 83.72 Neighbour = 19 BANCRO Bancroft Neighbour = 21 APSLEY Apsley Neighbour = 24 GHOUSE Gatehouse Neighbour = 27 FENLON Fenelon Falls Neighbour = 28 HILLSD Millar Hill Neighbour = 29 BRCBRG Bracebridge 392, 0, 141.1950, 0, 0, 0, 8 428, 0, 141.7350, 0, 0, 0, 11 454, 0, 142.1250, 0, 0, 0, 10 471, 0, 142.3800, 0, 0, 1, 0 493, 0, 142.7100, 0, 0, 0, 13 509, 0, 142.9500, 0, 0, 1, 0 ;;[Zone 27] Name = "Fenelon Falls" Alias = "FENLON" Connect Tone = 83.72 Neighbour = 21 APSLEY Apsley Neighbour = 25 PETERB Peterborough Neighbour = 26 HALIBU Haliburton Neighbour = 29 BRCBRG Bracebridge 403, 0, 141.3600, 0, 0, 0, 2 456, 0, 142.1550, 0, 0, 0, 4 461, 0, 142.2300, 0, 0, 1, 0 476, 0, 142.4550, 0, 0, 0, 4 486, 0, 142.6050, 0, 0, 1, 0 511, 0, 142.9800, 0, 0, 0, 5 ---
