## Important note
Repeater and all associated repeat modes are under development. The documentations related to it are for devs/nightly testers. You will not yet find it in stable.
## Introduction
The Recon app is full rework of the Scanner app, offering different possibilities and customisations.

One of the first two options have to be checked else nothing will be loaded at all and only manual range search will be available
* input: load freqs => allow load of frequencies
* input: load ranges => allow load of ranges
* input: load hamradios => allow load of ham radios
* load freq => allow load of frequencies
* load repeater => allow load of frequencies
* load range => allow load of ranges
* load hamradio => allow load of ham radios
* auto update m-ranges => if checked then the manual range start and stop values are updated using the actual searched range values. If it's actually searching a frequency, manual ranges are untouched
* auto record locked period=> activate auto record during locked wait (green) state. In audio modes, a wav file with actual time of capture as filename is created in AUDIO directory. In SPEC mode, a raw c16 with actual time of capture as filename is created in CAPTURES directory.
* record locked period=> activate auto record during locked wait (green) state. In audio modes, a wav file with actual time of capture as filename is created in AUDIO directory. In SPEC mode, a raw c16 with actual time of capture as filename is created in CAPTURES directory.
* repeater => activate repeat function. nb => number of repetitions
* amp => enable/disable amp when TX repeat is on. gain => gain to use when TX repeat is on
**!!BE CAREFUL WITH 'auto record locked period' OPTION. DON'T FORGET CLEANING UP FROM TIMES TO TIMES, TOO MUCH FILES WILL CRASH THINGS!!**

# Workflow and tips
Workflow:
## Classic workflow
* Select an input an output file, adjust the settings in CONFIG while you're at it
* Start the RECON, match frequencies, add them to your output file using autosave or STORE button
* Switch to SCAN mode to refine your results
Tips:
## Repeater workflow:
* Select a prepared input file / use the classic workflow to set the frequencies you want in the scanner list
* In CONFIG/MORE, be sure that repeaters options are set (enable/disable, nb rep, tx amp, tx gain, load repeater entries)
* For a repeater mode, Recon entries have to use SPEC mode. Set the bandwidth accordingly, it's used as record/replay bandwidth
* Select the lowest lock time value (l) : 100
* Select a negative wait locked value, it means on freq as long as there no more than 'wait locked' msec of inactivity. -1500 proved to be good for conversations, for signals you may reduce the wait locked. It's also the minimum recorded time by the way.
* Set a squelch level that allow to only catch what you want. As an example, here I have a background noise of -40 db, when I hit the remote the level is going up to +5 db. To filter sparse signals from my remote, I set squelch of -10db, and adjust it down to catch more, up to catch less
* If you're not in 'autostart' you'll have to press 'RESUME' at start and after a record. Don't forget to set it in 'CONFIG' if needed
* Having 'LOOP' enabled is a good idea whatever your list is (it will allow you to avoid pressing RESUME each time too)
* Set number of matching packet from 1 to 3 as you want to quickly start recording and not wait for precisely long signal
* Set match type to continuous match
* Let it run
* Hit the remote / Make a MicTX com / whatever you're allowed to record and repeat
* auto record should start (RAW button should go red)
* at the end of record, progress bar of replay is shown / played / hidden
## Tips:
* When a file is loaded and checkbox 'autostart searching' have been checked, the search is starting as soon as the apps open up, using last launch settings
* If 'autostart searching' is not used, then at the app start the last input list is loaded and the search is set in pause on the first frequency of the list
* To start a search using the input file, use the PAUSE/CONTINUE/RESTART or RST button
